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.
Sorry, but I was wide-awake back then. I knew Bush was a phony when he campaigned on 'Read my lips. No new taxes,' and then signed a tax increase as soon as he was in office. The coward called it a 'revenue enhancement.'
I never trusted GHWB after that, nor did I trust his son, GWB. As it turned out I was right. GWB's policies caused the real estate meltdown. If you want the details, visit my FR home page.
Very nice post.
