After all the work he's done for POWs, I just assumed Ross Perot would be a McCain supporter.

I was wrong.

I was wrong thinking that the guy who uptanked the Republican Party in the 1990s for becoming too ideologically conservative would be happy with a more moderate nominee coming out of the Republicans. Apparently Ross is none too pleased with Mr McCain.

"McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory."

Perot backed Mitt Romney in the primaries. I wonder what his fall plans are, now that Mitt is back slumming it at the country club.

medical bills. Or so I have been told...

When McCain was in prison, Perot was helping the families of POWs. Once he got out, McCain started to "help himself."

That is probably why Perot backed Romney.

Perot and McCain attended the Naval Academy (as did I).
Perhaps Perot knows exactly what a SELLOUT McCain is.

"Missing Presumed Dead," which won two film festival "Best Documentary" awards, explores McCain's successful attempt to pass a stealth bill in the Senate which effectively keeps his POW records sealed in perpituity (sic) and provides insight into why he does not want these records ever to be made public - including the revelation of the many propaganda radio broadcasts he delivered for the North Vietnamese. The film also explains why McCain's refusal of early release from a North Vietnamese POW camp had a less than honorable motive.

The charges against McCain are revealed in the documentary by such political luminaries as former New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith; Jesse Helms' chief of staff, Dr. James Lusier; former Congressman Bob Dornan; U.S. Senate lead investigator, Tracy Usery; and author, Dr. Joseph Douglass, Jr. ("Betrayed").

This documentary goes in depth to answer some of these persistant questions:

Why were these POWs abandoned?

Are some of these POWs still alive in North Korea and Vietnam?

Is John McCain really the president we want guiding our future generations?

...

Kiley's group cites as evidence a May, 1973, U.S. News & World Report article by McCain in which McCain said he realized, on his third or fourth day of captivity after his plane was shot down in 1967, that his knee was so swollen the blood might pool in it and kill him, so he offered to give military information to his captors in exchange for medical treatment.

Consequently several military missions were compromised.

"Missing, Presumed Dead" was supported by several POW/MIA organizations who cite John McCain as one of the biggest obstacles in resolving the abandonment of America's POW/MIAs. Go to http://www.missingpresumeddead.com to learn more.

It should be. A documentary based on interviews with Bob Dornan, Bob Smith, and Jesse Helms' chief of staff is not gonna offer you a "fact-rich environment." The reports of Vietnam POWs still alive over there have been pretty thoroughly debunked.

I want us to kick McCain's ass, but I don't think we need to stoop to Swiftboat flummery to do so.

when americans finally did get into Vietnam they found the Vietnamese had records,remains, and personal effects of american soldiers. i remember the film of americans seeing these things and were struck by the fact the Vietnamese had these detailed records.....

i have a feeling johnny boy does`t want his real record of what he said and did during those years made public.

now we buy goods from vietnam....

the war's over. The only reason I'd have a problem buying goods from Vietnam is if said goods were produced in sweatshops or of dangerous/poisonous material.
