"If someone as blessed as I am is not willing to clean out the barn, who will?"
Ross Perot (Patriot)
“If the voters don’t have the stomach for me, they can get one of those blow-dried guys.”
Ross Perot (Realist)
In the last three decades, about the only truth I ever heard a politician utter was:
“Who am I? And what am I doing here?”
– Ret. Adm. James Stockdale’s opening remarks, vice-presidential debate, 1992.
Stockdale was of course introducing himself to the citizenry of the
At least he was trying to reach out to the people. (Remember when president Bush, the elder first saw a
I said, “I can see that, and I am not an economist. Earn your keep. What about this administration’s policies? Are they going to at least help curb this slide?”
One said, again, without hesitation, “What policies?”
The other said, “You won’t find any of these actions in any economic plan in history, except for the one that buries a nation’s currency.”
Anyway, those “real-life” economists -unlike those hacks on MSNBC or any of the other media-overlords-of-information networks who told us the economy was fine, as the
(1) Bush ran up the National Debt to incredulous levels – they said, correctly.
- Obama is set to TRIPLE that National Debt in just a fraction of the time it took Bush to “ruin” everything.
(2) Bush hooked and crooked us into
- Obama apparently likes the idea so much he is deepening the debacle by sending more troops and dollars into
(3) Bush terrorized terrorists, and that is unethical – they said (including Sen. E. Kennedy, MA, moralist), correctly.
- Obama’s comrades supplied at least MIAC with a claptrap report. MIAC initially accepted and issued the politically driven report that U.S. Senator and patriot Ron Paul, along with his “third-party” flunkies and some other decent citizens, should be considered domestic terrorists; and tried to get at least the Missouri State Police to treat Paul supporters and other “honest, law abiding citizens” (who are actually NOT blood-thirsty terrorists) as hostile enemies. That gives all new meaning to “Home Grown Terror.” In this case, it is pseudo-political, leftist-fringe groups secretly manipulating the unsuspecting populace. So, it IS NOT OK to abuse terrorists, but abusing your own innocent citizens IS OK. Fortunately, some Good Guys stepped in.
(4) Bush attempted to turn over most of our major ports to inauspicious Arab companies – they said, correctly.
- Obama disrespects the Queen of England, yet practically prostrates himself before the King of Saudi Arabia (all in front of the cameras; see Youtube, both American and British feeds); pens a book (“Audacity of Hope”)which states when the stuff hits the fan, he is tossing his lot in with the Muslims. Well, at least this president is semi-honest about his religion.
That does not even scratch the surface of evidence indicating that Bush and Obama are actually working off the same playbook with a few party-unique twists.
Anyway, besides the fake Texican and the ½ black, ½ white man, with no political experience, masquerading as a 100% black man with 100% experience, there were many others who raised serious doubts about this country’s common sense in promoting presidential candidates and ignoring Independents.
Many men actually thought they should be the Executive of the greatest country in the history of the world, here are few.
(1) An android, master “delusion-ist”, and internet creator;
(2) The “I blew myself up and then recommended myself for a purple heart, more than once”;
(3) Halliburton (need I say more; if I needed to, I would say, “Bell Helicopters”);
(4) There was the “that depends on what your definition of the word ‘is’ is”;
(5) Throw away “WW2 crippled vet with a speech impediment” candidate in 1996;
(6) Throw away “
(7) Not to mention the kings of living political satire, masters of the multi-coloured coalition to keep albinos out, and holders of shocking hairdos.
That does not even scratch the surface of evidence that competition for the presidency of the
Anyway, so there is a dreadful selection of presidential candidates and the worst is yet to come, I am afraid. After assessing all that, a Stockdale with Alzheimers running with a fast-talking, no nonsense, chart-wielding, authentic Texican and billionaire does not sound so bad.
People, Perot almost won that 1992 election, that would have secured real freedom in the
Unidentified Voice (UV) – Ross, friend, you’re makin’ this little election too close for a lot of peoples likin’.
Perot – That’s right. Tell me, now. Tell me. [blacked out with permanent marker]… President Perot sounds and a free people of the
UV – I’m thinkin’ you’d better step down…[blacked out]
Perot – Now, hold them horses, hombre. [blacked out]…they call a monumental event in American history. A third party victory will [blacked out]…upset the [blacked out]
UV- Maybe so. But hows ‘bout this, Ross. We are going to [blacked out]… skin, and eat all your precious [blacked out]… if you ain’t gonna step down.
Perot – H. Ross Perot don’t quit [blacked out]… He can’t be threatened. No sir. No sir. No sir-re-bob. H. Ross Perot don’t quit. H. Ross Perot ain’t a feared of no man.”
UV – Ross, we’s gonna [blacked out]… until you do. Very embarrassing. Not to mention [blacked out]…daughter [blacked out]… photos [blacked out]… imps.
Perot – Ya’ll serious, ain’t ya. I thought you mighta been bluffin’. But ya’lls serious.
UV – Bet [blacked out]
Perot – Shoo-wee. [explicative – removed by JSM] Yankees. Ya’ll know how to play hardball, sure enough. Sure enough.
UV – So we have an accord.
Perot – Ain’t left with much choice; but I’ll come back . Can’t keep ole H. Ross Perot down. No sir. No sir! Ya see.
UV – We were going to suggest that you re-enter the [blacked out]... Hey, tell ya what, Ross. You can even pretend [blacked out]… again in ’96.
Perot – Bast [blacked out]… I see. I see.
UV – Thank ya, Ross. You made the right choice. Glad your takin’ this so well.
!!!Of course, I certainly cannot verify the authenticity of this document!!! Especially since the dialogue sounds like that Southern Bible Version, where Memphis is Jerusalem and everybody is talking with marbles in their mouths; or like the last president after a few cocktails at Bohemian Grove; or, admittedly, like a Saint Martel family reunion.
Anyway, the 1st moral of this tale is that when a candidate is threatened appropriately, punked-out, jailed, or found to really be the GOAT (like Sen. Dodd and the CEO incentive package fiasco) they ought to go down and stay down, or at least make only a spurious comeback like my man H. Ross Perot, then be gone forever. If half these clownish “fiends” dropped out when busted, maybe some real candidates would emerge. That is the problem, like zombies, they keep coming back. Remember Nixon?
The 2nd moral of this tale is that we need people with guts, like the “original” H. Ross Perot, who saw his mission clearly and surfaced, wild and hairy like John the Baptist. Half-crazed believers in the Constitution and Declaration, who in fact believe in liberty, in American prosperity and sovereignty, should step forward and howl long at the moon. To save this country we need a lot less backtracking, sidestepping, dodging, escaping, avoiding, double speaking, and a lot more
“Give me liberty, or give me death.” – Patrick Henry (actual Patriot).
Besides being the greatest Independent candidate in recent history, thoroughly whipping and exasperating Gore in a debate on NAFTA, and holding highest degrees in “common sense” and “patriotism”, during the Iran hostage Crisis, 1979, Perot successfully rescued his
So, come back “original” H. Ross Perot. Come back to us and make the path straight.
