Ross Perot endorses Mitt Romney


Ross Perot endorses Mitt Romney

Ross Perot, the businessman who mounted the last major challenge to the two-party political system, said Tuesday he is backing Mitt Romney for president this year.
Mr. Perot's 1992 campaign elevated the budget deficit to the forefront of politics, and six years later the federal government notched its first surplus in decades.
"At stake is nothing less than our position in the world, our standard of living at home and our constitutional freedoms," Mr. Perot said in a statement released by the Romney campaign. "That is why I am endorsing Mitt Romney in his quest for the presidency. We can't afford four more years in which national debt mushrooms out of control, our government grows, and our military is weakened. Mitt has the background, experience, intelligence and integrity to turn things around. He has my absolute support."
Like Mr. Romney this year, Mr. Perot made the argument in 1992 that the country needed a businessman to take control and execute a turnaround.
Mr. Perot also wrote an op-ed for the Des Moines Register laying out his thinking. He called the economy "stagnant" and pointed to the same deficit trajectory that pushed him to enter the race in 1992.
"It is this massive deficit spending that threatens to undermine our future standard of living. To pay for our government's massive debts, Washington's profligacy, our children and grandchildren will be paying interest and principal on the nation's debt for untold years into the future. That is wrong. It's not the way America ought to be," he wrote.

Ross Perot supports Romney, but Ron Paul does not. Hmmm, who do you trust: Ross or Ron?

Note: Obama Zombies need not reply.

I trust Ron Paul by his voting record. That is the only way you can tell anything about a candidate anymore and its the only thing that matters. I do not care about looks or charisma, or any of the other shallow characteristics voters look for as that won't save the country and the powers that were, count of our stupidity.

perhaps Ross Perot is supporting Romney because he feels anyone would be better than the course that Obama has us on. Ross Perot is a smart man and he does not need money so there must be a reason that we are not aware of.

Perot gone Global?
hmmmm.. Let's see
Last time they got his cooperation by threatening the lives of his children and grandchildren...
I wonder what they promised him this time?
But Wait..
Here comes that giant sucking sound...
As Perot drops to his knees.
Ending with a garbled noise...
The sound of Perot swallowing pride(?)
His master Satan must be pleased.
