    I worked for Perot's Presidential Campaign in 1992. Just as back then, I still believe in Perots philosphy. Just wish he would run again, I think he would give all the Presidential Candidates a run for their money. I for one do not think any of the canidates have "our" best interests in mind. Just their own private agendas.

    John McCain / Keating Five - google it

    Everything Perot spoke of and warned about back in '92 has come to pass. Amazingly short memories people. Maybe you all should stop puffing on the weed.

    McCain has always been in the Bush camp. Helped write the amnesty bill and then said he was against amnesty. Never votes when a bill is brought before the Senate but takes credit if something good comes out of it. Can't believe a word he says. PhoenixMary

    Perot may be short, but his thinking makes him a giant. He tells it like it is. He is correct about the Washington DC bureaucratic mess. Too many politicians are only concerned with lining their pockets at the expense of what is important to this country....it is called greed....pork batrrelling ...corruption!
    I do not like John McCain becaue I think he is too wishy washy. I believe that he (unforunately like too many
    other politicians) is willing to wiggle to acheive his own ends. He is from a border state and refuses to
    effectively represent the state in the Senate and stand up and be counted regarding the illegal ailens challenges and costs. I believe in negotiation, but I do not believe in surrender.

    Great story. It must have been extremely entertaining to speak with him. If only you could get some quotes from Dana Carvey now....

    Enormous Crime!!!! READ IT and you will learn McClown is a clown.

    Please list the books that Ross Perot recommends on POWs.

    McClown the phony conservative that pushes his POW agenda every time he asked about his record. Last year McClown almost ruined this County and turned it into a welfare State with his Amnesty (25 million illegal aliens) deal with Kennedy. All for the reason that he knew he would be running for President. Senator McClown has been bought and sold, very scary! If you were to ask Ron Paul about these allegations of POW COVER UP, you would be probably surprised to learn that Ron Paul introduced HR123 to release all of the classified documents. Perhaps Perot can see right through this guy and knows he's NO GOOD and most conservatives agree. GO Ron Paul or Mitts Romney. His liberal record read as follows:

    McCain-Feingold ??? the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo.
    McCain-Kennedy ??? the most far-reaching amnesty program in American history.
    McCain-Lieberman ??? the most onerous and intrusive attack on American industry ??? through reporting, regulating, and taxing authority of greenhouse gases ??? in American history.
    McCain-Kennedy-Edwards ??? the biggest boon to the trial bar since the tobacco settlement, under the rubric of a patients??? bill of rights.
    McCain-Reimportation of Drugs ??? a significant blow to pharmaceutical research and development, not to mention consumer safety (hey Rudy, pay attention, see link).

    Who would vote for this Clown?

    Looks as though what McCain said then still holds true today, in reference to Perot.

    You can't not like Ross Perot. I see him as a "loud-mouth grandfather" and believe me, that isn't condescending at all!

  • Posted By: JZ2000 @ 01/17/2008 12:38:14 PM

    I guess what McCain said back then still holds true today, when speaking of Perot

  • Posted By: HR123 @ 01/17/2008 12:33:22 PM

    There is an interesting story in the book that Perot speaks of (Enormous Crime) Bo Grist, Clint Eastwood and Ronald Regan almost rescued them (POW's) but were stopped before a second attempt. (ever see Rambo 2?) Please read the book and then make your own decision. Please support HR123!

    McCain suffers from Stockholm syndrome and could be a "Manchurian Candidate" also. I have always be very wary of him and wouldn't trust him in the presidency. He could run for president of Vietnam, however, no objection there.

    Note to Perot from the Dec 17, 2007 issue of the Electronic Engineering times: latest data from 2006 shows that India graduated about 6,500 Ph.D.s in Science and Engineering to the US's 22,600. The same 2006 data from China is not available yet but in 2003 China graduated 4300 Engineering Ph.D.s to the US's 8400. We have lots to do to increase our undergraduate engineering degree output but our Ph.D.s are fine, still.

    Anyone who thinks Perot is "addle-brained" is sorely mistaken. The media made him out to be wacky and he was never able to shed that image. He wasn't wrong about how to fix the country then and I think most of what he said still applies today. To brush this man off as "paranoid and incoherent" is a mistake. He is an American Patriot and was never wrong about how to fix the country. His "pie charts" may have been boring, but they were right on the money.
    I think Adler presented a fair and balanced article. Does he have a large ego? Sure, but so do most intelligent people who are in the "know". This was a chance to do what the last one who posted said to do, "let this one slide under the radar", but Adler knows that Perot had many followers who knew that his message was one that resonated and had it been implemented, would have led to a much more stable market and country. Do not dismiss this man who loves his country, put together a unti to free our hostages and was able to build an empire from the bottom up to become one of the richest men in the world.
