Democrats lose because of theur principles. If it weren't for Ross Perot, there would not have been a Democrat as Prez since Jimmy Carter.

The current Democratic Party's "principles" are issues like gay rights, higher taxes, doing what France wants, and making sure women maintain their legal right to kill babies. These things alienate much of the populous. Do you see why?

You're first statement is really dumb. In 1996 Clinton won with 49.2% of the vote, Dole had 40.7%, and Perot had 8.4%. Let's assume that Dole got EVERY one of Perot's votes (a mighty assumption, indeed), which would give him 49.1%. Clinton still wins, dumbass.

WOW. I couldn't write a better scenario to win an argument than this! You are aware, that there was a year called "1992" and that in that year Ross Perot first ran for President of the United States, are you not? Care to quote me those numbers, or does the fact that they are actually releveant to my argument make their use inconvenient?
