If Ross Perot has shown himself something less than a run-of-the-mill politician, he has at least made thoughtful and decisive, if unpopular, choices; and asked for American sacrifice to meet this country’s crushing financial problems, including user taxes on such as gasoline, before this great ship of state crashes on the hard rocks of bankruptcy. His entire career is marked by staying the course with tough problems like this until they are solved.
It is current wisdom to say that a businessman like Perot lacks the temperament and political experience to be elected President. True, along with in their own times, a surveyor like Washington or a career military man like Eisenhower.
If Perot were the long-shot winner, he would be a force for change — the Constitution’s system of checks and balances would see the nation through the healthy shakeup as it has under earlier strong-willed Presidents.
If not elected, a huge vote for Perot would at least send a mainstream message to the next President and Congress that the people now are fed up with Washington as usual and serious in wanting America’s financial affairs put back in order.
The call is close between Gov. Clinton and Ross Perot, but a vote for Mr. Perot would send that forceful message.
Wolf for Congress
In nearly any other Congressional district, Democratic challenger Ray Vickery would be a strong contender.
However, Republican incumbent Frank R. Wolf has proven his mettle through 12 years of service to the 10th District. He’s an untested quantity in the redrawn district which now includes Rappahannock County, but we think his record of service speaks well of his potential.
