Hillary mentioned education or college (as in pay for) approximately four times. But I just can’t help thinking about H. Ross Perot. In 1992, H. Ross, a Texas billionaire ran a successful third-party candidacy for president. As it turns out, H. Ross’s agenda was to peel enough votes from George H. W. Bush, another Texas billionaire, who also happened to be the incumbent president and hand the election to the Democratic challenger, who happened to be Bill Clinton. H. Ross siphoned off an estimated 20-million votes. Mission accomplished, H. Ross vanished into the ether from whence he sprung, leaving 20-million voters in the lurch. Bill Clinton went on to fulfill many of H. Ross’s more popular proposals, like a balanced budget. But while H. Ross’s motive had been a vendetta, the Clinton’s motives are political. And, on them the lesson of Perot’s displaced minions has not been lost. As Dwight D. Eisenhower said: The only thing new under the sun, is the history you don’t know: http://theseedsof9-11.com
