His colorful criticism that NAFTA would produce a "giant sucking sound" of jobs being siphoned overseas echoes today.

There is some unintentional irony in the word "echoes."

Perot is a good man. His only sin was running as an Independent and not being Hollywood and camera friendly. People are so shallow.

I knew the family reasonably well growing up - went to school with his daughter Suzanne for 8 years. Ross is a very colorful person but one who went a bit off the deep end later in life.

Perot quit running for President when it appeared he might win.

He jumped back in at the last minute to divert enough votes from Bush so that Clinton would win.

Ross Perot gave us President Clinton.

Up yours, Ross.

Perot is a good man.

Obviously as proved by his accomplishments, however he showed his lack of control as a politician to refrain from making statements without giving thought to covering all his angles as to being able to back up such statements.

"My role was insignificant," he kept insisting during the interview.

Wrong, Mr. Perot. You started a political revolution and you just don't realize it. The numbers of Independents are growing faster than either of the two party cabal. We'll win. It might take some time, but we'll take this country back.

HRP is battier than a room full of Jacksons.

Remember how he quit the race in '92 because the Republican dirty tricks comittee was going to do something at his daughters wedding to make him look bad, and he still got 20% of the vote.

I was part of alot of local groups organizing to get him on the petions early on, but I shudder to think of what would have happened if he had won.

I met him about 8 years ago. He eats at this one local bar-b-que joint in Dallas. It's across from Medical City Hospital. My family happened to be eating there after my dad had open heart surgery at the hospital.

I talked to him for a few minutes. He came over to my family's table. He wished my dad good luck.

He was very friendly.

I don't understand his motivation for that election. My husband voted for him, but I voted for Bush.

I think he is a good man, but I'll agree that because of him we got Clinton.

GHWB may have walked up to the edge of the cliff but it was Perot who pushed him over.

Agree. It was Bush's election to lose.

Ross Perot used his mindless followers and their money to rig an election to elect Bill Clinton.. you can add his name to the Clinton crowd responsible for rampant terrorism unchecked and ultimately the atrocity of 9-11

It has been noted that Clinton and Perot met over 30 times before he decided to run as an independent...he hated GHW Bush and could care less what kind of damage Clinton would do...

Perot's Company, soon to be created if conditions planned by he and Clinton fell into place... (Remember..General Motors bought EDS.. [which managed Medicare]from him to get him off the board...) .... was to win the contract to manage brand new Hillarycare...1/7th of the GDP of this country... ole Ross, your so called "folksy" character is only a Clintonite snake looking to make a massive killing making him tens of Billions more.

He's no hero to Pubbies. He cost us two elections to the worst president ever--the First Felon. He should be ashamed of his serial asininity. I still think he was in cahoots with Klintoon.

Your tag line seems quite hypocritical in light of your comment on Perot... read who he really is in my post a few posts back.

How does it feel to be duped by a flim flam man and his Grifter friends, you know...the ones who desecrated our white House. What really amazes me is you still don't even realize it..
