TIM COX TO DAN QUAYLE – “WE ARE NO ROSS PEROT”

In an article for the Washington Post, former VP Dan Quayle says “tea partiers have risen on their own and stirred up trouble in GOP primaries” and “the emergence of official Tea Party candidates would be very welcome news in the Obama White House.” He equates the movement with the Ross Perot presidential campaigns of 1992 and 1996, which he blames for his party’s loss in 1992

Tim Cox, founder of GOOOH, “Get Out of Our House,” says Quayle and other GOP leaders are missing the point. “Americans are fed up with BOTH political parties. Flipping back and forth between the GOP and the Democrats is getting us nowhere. The political process itself forces our Congressmen to represent special interest groups and their political parties, not their constituents.”

Cox started developing the GOOOH concept of self-funding congressional campaigns on a national level in 2005 and the movement has just received the endorsement of the Constitution Party. The GOOOH goal is to replace all 435 members of the House of Representatives in the 2010 election. Candidates are chosen openly by their peers within their districts and take no special interest money.

“This is not a presidential race,” Cox explains. “We offer a non-partisan alternative that will win by a landslide, not split the vote. Congress has failed to control spending or address the core issues ailing our nation. Americans are fed up with the greed, corruption and excesses of Congress.” A newly released YouTube video from GOOOH offers a no-holds-barred condemnation of the corruption in Washington.

“Dan Quayle may think he lost the election because of Ross Perot, but when his President said ‘Read my lips, no new taxes’ and then raised them anyway, his presidency was over. The American people are sick and tired of broken political promises.”
