Perot tantrum was just a question of when By J.W. JOHNSON There is one reader in particular who will chafe under the following, but I can't resist: I told you so. Back in May when the presiden- tial campaign was just beginning to take shape, all the talk was about Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot, God's gift to the electorate. I said then: “We won't be hear- ing about him come August.” Well, he threw off my prediction by 14 days, bowing ungracefully out of the race on July 17. And while the maverick man of money has perhaps, and appro- priately, made complacency by the two parties an issue, he has also perhaps done much more harm than good to the political process by souring many people on the system, some of whom had joined it for the first time. There are people who actually gave up their jobs and spent their own money in promoting this ego driven man with too much time on his hands...but to refresh your memory about discussion at the Breakfast Club two months ago, here are excerpts from that col- umn: “People are so angry,” Silas McMarner says, “and regardless whether or not he wins, it will be better for American politics.” “Is he going to win?” “No!” Roscoe Bismark says emphatically, pausing: “You know I always worry about a guy who has a simple answer to a complex question...but still and all, the two party system is entrenched. It's too stagnant, much to dogmatic, and the parties are trying to be- come the end in and of themselves instead of being vehicles for change. We need a fundamental change in how we do things.” “The “he” referred to by Break- fast Club members is, of course, H. Ross Perot, that political maverick who has captured the public fancy early in this presidential campaign. “But what has he, in fact, cap- tured beyond tapping into several obvious frustrations with our po- litical and economic system. “No Perot supporters seem to be Buy your Fresh Milk and Ice Cream those who, and at least most of the time, are nay sayers. Perot sup- porters to some degree are those who are “anti” most everything, and not necessarily for anything except “throwing the current bums out”, with a few I know personally having a thought process which wants, for example, the right to a trial by a jury of peers, but who then don't want to serve on a jury and extend that right to others. “All of this is dangerous think- ing, in particular if the person you are looking to as your savior has a history of benevolent dictatorship and, rather than welding consen- sus, forcing his will upon the cir- cumstances. “A general frustration with feel- ing no connection to the political process, and a growing gap be- tween the haves and have nots is atleast partially to blame for Perot's early campaign success. More's the pity and greater is the potential danger. “The entire two-party political process, the nomination system, and the various state prerogatives in electing a president have been set up to avoid the manipulation of the process by ademagogue whose true stripes would be revealed through submission to that proc- ess. “What Perot has done, in league with the media, is by-pass much of that leavening scrutiny, and has gone directly over the system to the crowds who, in fact, want simple answers to complex ques- tions. “More importantly, isn’t anyone worried about the fact that most of rom et mt OP N I.

Perot’s supporters don’t care about what his policies would be; in fact, freely admitting they are sheep and only too willing to be led by this self-styled entrepreneur. But led where? And at what cost, po- litically and financially” \ “Some of his supporters are apparently forgetting that Perot didn't get where he is by taking care of others; he got where he is by taking care of himself, and reaping the rewards of the free! enterprise system. Can you really see him trying to deal with Con- gress, that same Congress trying torespond toits constituents, those same constituents who want simple answers to complex ques- tions, and who then want someone else to pay for it? rf “We the citizen/voter are the problem here; it's not whom we elect, it is our expectations of that person and or the system within with our politicians work. ak “To be sure, Perot has shaken the very foundation and assump- tions of the American political process. It just would be a shame if, in expressing frustration with the current system, his support- ers end up inviting him to dine at the political table, only to find that | he has his own agenda and truly wants to eat alone.” eo Well, Mr. Perot has, indeed, thrown a tantrum, taken his ball, and gone home. And I'm amazed...the sun still came up this morning. Imagine that. And don't be surprised if the next man to occupy the White House is something other than a Republican. ¥ i SOFA $35 §.
