WHAT third party candidate has ever caused heartache?

Henry Ross Perot gave us the Clintons.....


I kinda' thought that was coming......

The Neo-Con Bush The First gave us Bill Clinton.

Tell me, how bad was the economy during Clinton's reign?.....or the national debt?....or deficit spending?

Bullcrap. Clinton only won by 5% with Ross Perot taking nearly 19%. Clinton doesn't win without Perot not only splitting the Republican/Independent vote but stirring up the economic focus that summer. The 1991 recession was over before the election and one of the shallowest recessions in history.

Clinton in 1992
Wilson in 1912
And Al Franken doesn't win in Minnesota in 2008 without that idiot Barkley running third party and taking nearly all of the independent vote.
