Great thread title. I heard the news this morning and could hear in my head, "Can I finish? You gonna' let me finish"? with Ross' unique voice/accent.
Knew some guys in TX back when I did security work that had worked with Perot's executive protection team. Their level of armed response was quite impressive.
Perot was right about NAFTA. He wasn't a selected party candidate. It would be interesting to see how a Perot might do today following the disruption that Trump brought to the game.

Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
One of the biggest political mistakes of my life was supporting Perot in that election. Certainly changed how I look at things.

Agreed. The only better I've ever seen was The Onion posting "Whitney Houston beats Bobby Brown to death," when she died.Originally Posted by Gman

Ross Perot inspired a lot of people, created a lot of jobs and a significant contributions to the country.
The only reason I didn't support his political campaign... he couldn't handle the GM board of directors, how could he manage congress and the senate?
May he RIP.
R.I.P. Ross, may God speed.

I can't remember his VP candidate's name in '92, but that guy was hilarious; he kept turning off his hearing aid when Gore and Quayle were yelling at each other during the debate. When asked a question, couldn't hear, didn't know what people were talking about...funny stuff.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
