1992 Election: Who Would You Vote For?

While it has been 100 years since the 1912 election, it has been 20 years since 1992 I believe. That was another key election where we had a powerful third party candidate. George H.W. Bush (Republican) was trying to win for a second term, but the economy was getting bad. Bill Clinton (Democrat) was nominated to challenge him. Taking them both on was Texas Billionaire Henry Ross Perot. Perot saw the economy getting bad and wanted to fix the problem, it seemed so as he was a successful businessman. As the election wore on it looked like Perot might win when he started averaging 39% in the polls, with Bush in second, and Clinton in third because his campaign was damaged due to scandal. For some reason, Perot dropped out and then changed his mind and ran again. This caused a loss in credibility for him and he could no get a lead. This also caused Clinton to re-surface and take the lead. In the end Clinton won with Bush in second. Perot won no states, but received over 18% in the popular vote which is still the strongest showing of a third party candidate in modern times. So will we repeat history? Or will Perot or Bush come up as a leader. I think I would actually vote for Perot in this one.

Andre Marrou, of the Libertarian Party.

I would vote for Stalin, Or the Dutch.

GHWB for me.

They literally were all the same.

And come on, third parties? Go ahead - throw your vote away!

I like how the OP isn't sure if 1992 was 20 years ago or not.

Really? Don't say stupid shit just to do ideological pandering. It's objectively untrue to claim they were the same.

Bill Clinton ran himself like Bush would've in that situation. Low taxes and low spending, interventionism, etc. The only major difference may have been Rwanda.

Because so many politicians campaign on promises of high taxes, high spending, and isolationism, right?

And now you know my future campaign slogan.

If Bill Clinton is exactly the same as George Bush, then I am Joseph Stalin himself.

Clinton. Just one word for you: surplus.

I'd stick with Clinton, Clinton all the way Bitches!

With the Colombian Prostitute Scandal going on I think you will see him shortly.

There was never a surplus. That is a lie. Clinton only made it appear to be a surplus by raiding funds from Social Security.

Isn't raiding funds from Social Security a good thing?

Clinton all the way.

No love for bush? Also I thought it said " 1992 erection "

That's why we're voting for Bill.
