People tend to do this sort of thing. Bob Dole did it to the wife who nursed him back to health once he began to rise in the world. Maybe it is true that great men are seldom good men.

Those who voted for Perot gave us Hillary now.

I firmly believe that Perot was a fraud and a setup. He had some grudge against the Bushes, and Clinton used that. Perot also stood to make a ton of money from big government, as his company processed all the data from welfare programs. And, as McCain said, he was nuttier than a fruitcake.

Not surprised that Perot's shiny dome has popped up again in this race. Hillary is using all her go-to guys to take out Obama, and then will concentrate on whoever the GOP nominates.

I voted twice for Perot

I supported him in '92, my senior year in high school.

McCain is not good, and he certainly is not great.

There is a level of abandonment and cruelty to the way McCain treated his first wife, and the mother of the children of his body.

McCain got bought by his father in law. The arrangement was rather whorish.

If McCain wins the nom, maybe Perot will come back. I'll vote for Perot in a moment over McCain.

Talk about nutty...McKook!!

One reason for the “live” POW claims are the large number of MIA’s designated for downed pilots that were never found among the prisoners released at the end of the war. But the MIA classification for pilots would often result from the claim of fellow pilots that they saw a parachute, even though in reality they saw the plane shot down with no survivors.

Why would fellow pilots do this? Because if they reported their buddy dead, his widow back in USA would get a small insurance payment and be ordered off base housing in 30 days. But if the dead pilot was classified as MIA, then the widow would continue to receive the pilot’s salary and get to stay in base housing.

You now see in the news every few weeks where the joint US-Vietnamese recovery teams will be told of plane debris, and the remains of a pilot are identified as one of those MIA.

and relieved when I informed him that the e-mail Perot (and untold others) received about Obama not respecting the Pledge of Allegiance was a fraud.

Huh? The video speaks for itself!

Jonathan Alter is a liar. The picture speaks for itself, as does the ABC Video of the moment.

“Mitt Romney boosted sales of his book this spring by asking institutions to buy thousands of copies in exchange for his speeches, according to a document obtained by POLITICO.”

A mormon temple recommend question...

“Are you honest in all your dealings?”
