Maybe, he also wouldn't have done good things that Trump has done.
And there is nobody closer, there are people much better than both though.

I agree, I was born just before Kennedy was shot and have followed what I could understand as I grew up.... And this is a Perot/Ron Paul "wrench in the works" happening right now... Dig it... It's rocking the boat on both sides of the aisle.

List please: I'm at a loss.

I do not dis trump for the hell of it. I hold ALL of their feet to the fire. Whether trump is over his head and he is playing chess (or not), he is not good for the republican sheep who lose all sense of principle.

I knew Ross. He was a straight shooter. I may have disagreed with some things, such as WoD, but you knew exactly where you stood with him. Property rights for one, Ross would NEVER muck with that. He would have called for an end to welfare right from the get go, because he simply did not believe in it. Perhaps he would have been shot, but Republicans would have respected him - AND his core principles.

When you get right down to it, whether trump is trying (or not), the MIC is simply too powerful. Court battles here, pulling out there, nominating a judge or pro-gold Judy - the MIC is simply too powerful because it has existed far too long and involved in every aspect of life. Try telling the millions who are employed that they will lose their jobs, where they manufacture weapons, biometric and other technology.

RIP my former boss, I will remember all of the good times down in Plano :-)

I worked in the North Central EDS office. He was quirky and would not let men wear tassle shoes. Overall he was a good man. May he RIP.

ASIMS, Federal Systems Division, RDC Atlanta, Secret Clearance. I flew in to Plano and always wore tassels. Maybe he never looked at my feet

Perot had a company that processed welfare checks.

If'n you count the Pentagons Federal Systems Division as Welfare, THAT we agree on.

I think now it is Visa? Twice the taxpayers dollars to make sure no one cheats. We would have been better off with the stamps. Much cheaper and we cut out the middle man no matter how many cheat... As it is now Visa profits from poverty. Sorry, but there is something wrong with that connection.

Yes, not all privatization is healthy no matter what the AnCaps think.

McAfee

McAfee was going to run for president. Instead he ran away and fled the country.

I don't think ANYBODY on this forum believes all privatization is healthy due to the fact that government is so deeply imbedded. That is where the term corporatist comes to play.

There are businesses around me that absolutely will not deal with credit - it is cash only. Inconvenient for some, but it is a much better way to do business. Credit, I owe you's - debt = slavery.

He got caught implanting viruses and charging to remove them. Scam. I personally was part of that exposure.

Right wrong or indifferent, maybe he's the smart one. Taxation is theft plain and simple.

In fact... I caught Norton doing the same and then they stopped when McAfee got busted...

You must spread some reputation around..........................

Now he goes around acting like a madman to discredit liberty people by pretending to be part of the movement.

I would not doubt it. I know the only time I ever had a virus was when I had an antivirus installed. Almost 15 years now no viruses at all, and none installed. How does that work? Only share with those I love...

Most operating systems include anti-virus.

[ATruepatriot]

No they don't, get rid of that MS crap and the kernel fixes the problem. Linux all the way man... Can't crack the kernel, can't virus it. OK, I will share why it s safer not having antivirus. A virus has to first find and identify the antivirus software you are using, if it finds none, it becomes confused and doesn't know how to proceed from there because they are written to pass software that it cannot even find in the first place.

In his last documented political act, self-made billionaire and two-time presidential candidate Ross Perot wrote out two checks to President Trump’s re-election campaign before succumbing to his battle with leukemia at the age of 89, according to a report.

In March, Perot wrote two checks of the maximum legal limit to Trump’s reelection campaign, including next year’s general election, the Boston Globe reported.

Ross Perot donated to Trump’s re-election campaign before death: report

By Bradford Betz | Fox News

In his last documented political act, self-made billionaire and two-time presidential candidate Ross Perot wrote out two checks to President Trump’s re-election campaign before succumbing to his battle with leukemia at the age of 89, according to a report.

Perot, who ran for president as a third-party candidate in 1992 and 1996, is largely credited with providing a road map for Trump's presidential campaign.

Like Trump, Perot ran as a billionaire populist against the Republican establishment. His focus on the North American Free Trade Agreement – rather than the national debt – and his use of cable news for laying out his agenda were both familiar elements of Trump’s campaign.

As Democratic strategist James Carville put it in a 2016 podcast: “If Donald Trump is the Jesus of the disenchanted, displaced non-college white voter, then Perot was the John the Baptist of that sort of movement.”

In 2000, Trump briefly considered running for president in Perot’s Reform Party before scrapping the idea. Perot’s model, of running as a third-party candidate in a two-party political system, taught Trump that he needed to run as a Republican in 2016 – a lesson that ultimately led to his victory.

n March, Perot wrote two checks of the maximum legal limit to Trump’s re-election campaign, including next year’s general election, the Boston Globe reported.
