Was Perot the one who went back on his word when he said, “Read My Lips”?

Nope, that was Todd Akin.

Ross Perot was the Tea Party before there was a Tea Party.

Like him or not, he’z done a hell of allot more than most for our economy and our nation.

Folks that worked for Ross Perot knew him to be stern and principled, yet compassionate to the bone.

Perot IS a true American patriot.

No, Perot was very upfront about his plans to raise taxes. His candidacy ensured the election of Bill Clinton, who was also pretty clear about his intention to raise taxes. Perot got Clinton in there, and came back four years later to make sure Clinton stayed in. So, he made sure a fellow tax raiser and abortion supporter made it two terms. Great job. World class, even.
