Perot Chooses

Yeah, I know you’ve all been waiting for the oh-so-coveted Ross Perot endorsement to take you out of the large pool of “uncommitted” voters. So now, courtesy of Jack M., your prayers have been answered:

Perot says he intends to vote for Mitt Romney in the Texas Republican primary on March 4, citing Romney’s experience in business and his family values. “When I went to the Naval Academy and met my first Mormons I asked why so many were excellent officers,” Perot recalls. “I learned it was because of their strong family unit.”

As for McCain, Perot is a bit less kind.

Perot doesn’t remember it that way. “After he came home, he walked with a limp, she [Carol McCain] walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona [Cindy McCain, his current wife] and the rest is history.”

Perot’s real problem with McCain is that he believes the senator hushed up evidence that live POWs were left behind in Vietnam and even transferred to the Soviet Union for human experimentation, a charge Perot says he heard from a senior Vietnamese official in the 1980s. “There’s evidence, evidence, evidence,” Perot claims. “McCain was adamant about shutting down anything to do with recovering POWs.”

It should be noted that he was unaware that Obama is in fact a Christian – not a Muslim. Makes you wonder how many Americans are under the same impression.
