[B] Awright, what about Ross Perot and the good ol boys?

Henry Ross Perot (born June 27, 1930) is an American businessman from Texas best known for running for President of the United States in 1992 and 1996. Perot founded Electronic Data Systems (EDS) in 1962, sold the company to General Motors in 1984, and founded Perot Systems in 1988. Perot Systems was bought by Dell for $3.9 billion in 2009. He was born in Texarkana, Texas.

With an estimated net worth of about US$3.5 billion in 2009, he is ranked by Forbes as the 85th-richest person in America.

Perot led the Texas War on Drugs Committee that proposed five laws, all of which were passed by the legislature.

[B] Ay what about Pete Wilson? (Whassup) That Pete Wilson motherfucker

Peter Barton "Pete" Wilson (born August 23, 1933) is an American politician from California. Wilson, a Republican, served as the 36th Governor of California (1991—1999), the culmination of more than three decades in the public arena that included eight years as a United States Senator (1983—1991), eleven years as Mayor of San Diego (1971—1982) and five years as a California State Assemblyman (1967—1971).

During the California energy crisis Wilson authored an article titled "What California Must Do" that blamed Gray Davis for not building enough power plants. Wilson defended his record of power plant construction and claimed that between 1985 and 1998, 23 plants were certified and 18 were built in California. The San Francisco Chronicle contradicted this claim in a 2001 article that found that no new facilities had been built in the preceding decade. The graphs in Wilson's article showed that Davis had approved twice as much new power plant capacity in his first three years as Wilson did in his entire eight-year term. The Governor Gray Davis Digital Library contends that Davis's energy policies during his governorship resulted in 38 new power plants, totaling 14,365 MW.

A Los Angeles Times column quotes Wilson defending his record, "I take credit for being the driving force behind deregulation." Wilson also acknowledged that he had not anticipated the large growth in energy demand. Although the Bush administration blamed the California energy crisis on the failure of several state administrations to increase power-plant capacity, later investigations revealed that energy companies, including Enron, manipulated the market to increase profits. In 2003, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) concluded that the energy crisis was caused by poorly structured energy deregulation and market manipulation that the deregulation legislation made possible.

[B] You know these sellout motherfuckers -- Ellay DuHarris

I cannot find information on this person

[B] Tom Bradley

Thomas J. "Tom" Bradley (December 29, 1917 — September 29, 1998) was a five-term mayor of Los Angeles, California, serving in that office from 1973 to 1993. He was the first and to date only African American mayor of Los Angeles. His 20 years in office mark the longest tenure by any mayor in the city's history. His 1973 election made him only the second African American mayor of a major U.S. city.

In 1998 he supported a controversial oil drilling project near the Pacific Palisades.

[B] David Dinkins, ay, line em up

David Norman Dinkins (born July 10, 1927) is a former politician from New York City. He was the Mayor of New York City from 1990 through 1993, being the first African American to hold that office.

Dinkins was elected in the wake of a corruption scandal that involved several Democratic leaders in New York City. The indictment of a few key Democrats allowed Dinkins to avoid primary challenges from some potential rivals. Additionally, the fact that Dinkins is African-American helped him avoid criticism he was ignoring the black vote by campaigning to whites.

Dinkins initiated a hiring program that expanded the police department nearly 25%.

300,000 private sector jobs were further lost during Dinkins's administration.

He failed to file (or pay) income taxes for five years earlier in his career.

In 1991, New York was unable to pay city employees. The Dinkins administration proposed unprecedented cuts in public services, $1 billion in tax increases and the elimination of 27,000 jobs. He cut education by $579 million, and marked 10 homeless shelters for closing which was opposed by the city council.
