Can you find one instance where he insulted someone or made a funny nickname for them? What Entertainment Hollywood type tape came out about Ross? He had well thought out plans with numbers and stuff to back it up. What does Trump have to compare? "It's just dumb everybody knows that." Yeah, he was a little nutty, but nowhere near Trump flaming narcissist school yard bully nutty. Different kind of nutty altogether. And what got us Clinton was not Ross, it was all the people that voted for Clinton. Edited July 9, 2019 by reddogblitz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 RICK PERRY: NOW THAT ROSS PEROT IS GONE, I CAN TELL THIS STORY. During my time as governor of this great state, I had the honor and privilege of knowing countless warriors who stepped forward to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan and returned home with horrific wounds of war. U.S. Army Cpl. Alan Babin Jr. is one such hero. While serving in Iraq in 2003 as a medic in the 82nd Airborne, Alan was shot in the abdomen while tending to a fallen comrade. While Alan survived his injury, he faced a long and difficult road to recovery, complicated by the onset of meningitis and a stroke-induced coma that left him confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. On the one-year anniversary of his wounding, I joined Alan and his family for a small gathering. He was still in very bad shape, neurologically and physically incapacitated. When I asked his mother, Rosie, what I could do to help, she said she was eager to get him out of the hospital and back home, but struggling with the prospect of transporting Alan to his many medical visits. I knew there was one person to call: Ross Perot. What happened next still amazes me to this day. Read the whole thing. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
