I think there was much more to Ross Perot than he has been given credit for.

We must be our own worst critics and rot made us face our shortcomings.

Too bad Perot lost in 92. He’d have made a great president.

When you come to rationalize and understand the whole Bush theatrical ‘show’, you can view Perot in a slightly different light. But it took me twenty years to reach that point.

And the deep state sheeple blame him for Clinton.

Poppie wouldn't have been any better, and Billy Jeff woulda came along next cycle to smear Awful Dull anyway!

The lesson is

Don't vote for luciferian globalist puppets!

Iirc Perot made most of his fortune through government contracts for computer support to agencies like Social Security.

The GOP, along with the media, helped to tarnish Perot’s reputation when he was alive. I’m proud to have voted for him twice, helping in my small way to damage the House of Bush.

I still blame Perot for Clinton but will admit this, I worked for a Colonel who came down with leukemia and Perot paid for all his treatment. He didn’t have to do that.

On Wings of Eagles

"When two of his employees were held hostage in a heavily guarded prison fortress in Iran, one man took matters into his own hands: businessman H. Ross Perot. His team consisted of a group of volunteers from the executive ranks of his corporation, handpicked and trained by a retired Green Beret officer. To free the imprisoned Americans, they would face incalculable odds on a mission that only true heroes would have dared. . . ."

He deliberately forced Clinton on us... twice.

And got lots of government contracts for his help.

Unforgivable.

I met him once, at the Special Operations Convention. He was a short man, but friendly to a total stranger like me. I chatted for a while with his aid, who was a LTC in the Reserves or Guard.

I have held a grudge about the three-way election, but looking back on it, I guess I can see what he was saying. He tried to do what Donald Trump succeeded in doing, interrupting the Deep State and Establishment. We were all naive, back then. Now, our eyes are opened and we are seeing the Bushes and the Clintons and their ilk as two sides of the same coin.

I know that Ross Perot loved American, the American Fighting Men and Women, and Special Ops in particular. Rest in Peace, Sir. You are a better man than I will ever be.

I admire Ross Perot greatly. A real prince of a guy who would have been a Trump-like president. But his third party entry into the presidential race took enough away enough Republican votes to give us Bill Clinton - twice. In my eyes that cast a shadow. Why did he do it? He knew the consequences.

Ross confronted d deep state as best he could. Trump learned from this.

I’m still proud to say that I voted for Ross, after I discovered what a snake George Bush was.

This comes as no surprise to followers of Perot from way back.

Read it for what it is.

Jeb Bush basically wrote that he (and his Bush family) wished PDJT was dead July 4th, remember?)...

This is meant to keep the Bush family off balance. Perot cost Bush Sr a second term.

Mr. Perot’s raging against the machine, I am certain, was of great benefit to Presidents Trump’s success.

Rick Perry did a great service in the article. I never knew that Mr. Perot cared so deeply about Veterans. To be mentioned in a sentence with Gary Sinise is indeed high praise.

Ross Perot was a great American patriot.
