European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 1, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse Continued from Page 6 and a i done to agree and this is but All they did was talk about their if she were voting Macauley would cast her vote for Clinton who came off As a More sincere than Bush or Perot. To vote for him Clinton if he were running in Canada a she said. A the stacks up better than what we some see the most important Issue As the future of the military budget and the shrinking american presence in Europe. A i just look at As i still have a Job if Bush is president but i done to have one if its Clinton a said sgt. Mike Adamoyurka who is assigned to Rhein main. Acosta likes Perot a View that the american military presence in Europe and around the world must shrink. A we have people in the United states who Are homeless a she said. A you have to take care of Home first. We need to take care of ourselves but for others the character of the candidate is the most important Issue. Bush hinged much of his argument during the first and second debates on Clinton a character and trustworthiness. A i set in my mind the single most important Issue is. Would i have wanted Bill Clinton to run the show when we went to desert storm a 1st it Dave Brooks said. A i done to know. But i am sure that i Trust president Brooks also assigned to Rhein main had already mailed his ballot before the first debate. A a dyed in the Wool Republican a Brooks said the debates were still valuable although Bush already had his vote. A i think its important to watch the debates even i president Paulsen he a about the Only one not laughing by Vernon Scott up Hollywood reporter Pat Paulsen in his third bid for the . Presidency reluctantly conceded this week chances Are Bleak he will be occupying the White House for the next four years. A tireless campaigner who found himself on the ballot in four states this year a new Hampshire where he garnered a paltry 700 votes Louisiana 1,500kansas 5,000 and North Dakota 4,000 a comedian Paulsen said his financial War Chest was empty. He fought to get his name on the California ballot but was foiled by a magistrate who said his Campaign was frivolous. A disappointed Paulsen took Issue. A the thought it was Odd that i promised if i were elected i would attack Canada for stealing two of our baseball teams a the aggrieved candidate said. A if we get in a War with Canada wed be in the same time zone. We have to stay up late watching can War news. A i suppose the judge also objected to my Promise to lower the unemployment rate by getting myself a Job a As having lunch in a restaurant by Universal studios Paulsen was appropriately dressed in a red White and Blue jogging outfit trimmed in Black to match his gloom. The Long faced sorrowful Paulsen first announced his candidacy for the United states top Job when he was resident joker on the 1967 smothers Brothers show. He ran against Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey. A i lied about my intention to run Back then a he said. A i was evasive on the issues and i made promises i keep. Nothing has changed. Candi you have already voted a Brooks said. A a it a not just the candidates input it s the moderators and the reporters input that shows How the person you chose to be president handles the As for How his candidate fared in the debates Brooks said he would have to say Clinton won the debates but the president still managed to score against the Arkansas governor. Dates Are doing the same thing this year. I must be honest in a in this for the Money. I think that makes me a True american a Bottom line Paulsen takes no Pride in the fact that he is challenging Republican Harold Stassen and Democrat William Jennings Bryan for the title of All time loser among presidential aspirants. However Paulsen did detect a Ray of Light in his pyrrhic Victory Over candidate Ross Perot in the North Dakota primary where he amassed 9 percent of the vote second Only to president Bush. A with my Good showing in North Dakota i won 1.53 delegates from that state for the Republican convention a Paulsen said. A but the grand old party changed the gop to stand for get out Paulsen and refused to give me my 1.53 delegates. I took Mem to court and Paulsen apparently has Little respect for the other candidates in this election although he a not altogether hostile. A Pat Paulsen digging for office in 1972. �?o1 think a lot of voters will believe that Clinton was just a Little too polished a Little too smooth a Brooks said. A the comes off to me at least As a plastic candidate. He a not real. Bush is said Acosta a i like some of what All three of them said. 1 just wish i could slice them up and take the parts from each that i like and make a total candidate. That s a person i could really believe All the same there is a suggestion of umbrage in his summation of his adversaries. He says of Bill Clinton if he is elected president i Hope the Economy stays on its feet longer than he George Bush a one thing about voting for Bush is he a Well rested. He just came off a four year Ross Perot a after being trounced by me i can to believe he had the nerve to get Back in the Paulsen still loosing barbs at the opposition appeared on the movie channels Joe Bob Briggs drive in theater on saturday to hype his sagging Campaign. In addition to interviewing the candidate Briggs a Yokel guru of trashy movies will show Paulsene a movie night patrol. Paulsen fears his performance in the 1985 film May harm rather than help his Campaign. A i got More votes in the primaries this year than Ever before a he said. A but its Tough to get on the ballots. Can you imagine California officials saying i Wasny to a serious candidate this is the state that elected Jerry Brown twice a and they say in a not serious. A Well in a tuning up my Campaign for 1996. The buttons already Are being made. They say a Don t blame me. I voted for we Hope to make some Money off them which ill need for the �?T96 fight. A i try to avoid Fence sitting. When people ask me about my stand on pro Choice i say yes and no. Who do i think will win the election Bush or Clinton. Stuff like that a of course there a the question of family values. The Media always talks about presidential candidates extra marital affairs. It will get to a Point where Only mediocre people Nan for office. A does that mean mediocre people done to have affairs i can Tell you unequivocally that mediocre people have affairs too. Maybe not great ones but we have Mem. A better not print that. My wife Noma May object. A there was a lady in Colorado who i had a Brush with. I took her to court and won the Case. She still owes me $189,000, but you done to want to hear the details. A let me just close with this thought. The United states is a great country.
