When Ross Perot Calls.....

I voted twice for Perot

I wasn't surprised one tiny bit when Perot endorsed GW Bush for President.........but Rush Limbaugh was.

[in hoc signo vinces]

Perot felt responsible for putting the Billy BJ Clin”toon” in office...

[rface]

Perot isn't a Hillary hater, but he's not a fan either, relating the bumper sticker he received that reads: "Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President."

Pretty damn funny!

Perot felt responsible for putting the Billy BJ Clin”toon” in office...

maybe the same feeling FReepers will have for puting Hillary in the White House...

[SJSAMPLE]

You mean he knew he'd be responsible for putting Bubba into office ;)

Perot knew damn well that he was sucking up votes even before the election.

[rface]

like voting for Dole was gonna inspire Repubs to go vote in droves....

[freekitty]

I agree with Rush on that one since Perot and Billy Boy were in cahoots.

[freekitty]

I think this is a bs article. Don’t tell me that Perot is so brainless; he would buy a story that Obama is a Christian; not a Muslum.

Dole wasnt running in 1992

President Bush (the Dad) was running for re-election

Bob Dole was the GOP nominee in 1996...years too late for him

I didnt vote for Dole in the primary...

[basil]

That bumper sticker must cover the entire bumper—LOL!

[CholeraJoe]

Other POWs won't even sit at the same table with him.

This might be a clue as to why:

John McCain collaborated with the North Vietnamese. See this picture?

The other POWs didn't get warm clothing. They shivered in shorty pajamas.

[SJSAMPLE]

que?

Bush/Clinton/Perot in 1992.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

maybe the same feeling FReepers will have for puting Hillary in the White House...

Nice try.

The main reason Bush lost in 1992 was because he ran on a campaign of "No New Taxes" in 1988. He promised that he would not raise taxes. Remember 'Read my lips'? When he broke that promise he called the tax increase a 'revenue enhancement'.

After being soundly beaten in the 1992 election by a young, vibrant Bill Clinton, who did the GOP put forward as their best candidate in 1994? Old, boring, Bob Dole.

“Perot felt responsible for putting the Billy BJ Clin”toon” in office...”

As well he should—he shares THAT reponsibility with those loggerhead Libertarians and Republicans who voted for him.

[TLI]

I think he was. At the time E-Systems was the top pick for the contract to create and maintain all database info for Hildabeasts original Socialized health care she was pushing back when Bill got elected.

Remember this?

It is the same crap she pushes today. Once a commie - always a commie.

It would be far better for the country for Hillery/Obama to be POTUS then McCain/Huckibe.

The reason being the Repubs in Congress would fight against the Dem as would some Dems.

However if these RINO’s are in office the repubs would be less likely to go against the WH.

The VC would have prisoners don fresh new cloths anytime the media would be interviewing POWs. I don’t know if you are serious about your accusations or tongue and cheek, but he suffered just as much as any of the others did.

“You mean he knew he’d be responsible for putting Bubba into office ;)

Perot knew damn well that he was sucking up votes even before the election.”

Did you watch the debates with Perot, Clinton and Bush? Perot was the ONLY one to jump all over Clinton. Bush sure didn’t.

[CholeraJoe]

I’m serious. Several POWs have alleged that he received special treatment including better food and better clothing because he was an admiral’s son or in exchange for information provided.

Some have gone to bat for him, though.

I believe that if McCain receives the nomination, he will be “Swift Boated” by former POWs.

[Domandred]

Did anyone else do Perot’s voice in their head as they were reading his quotes or is it just me?
