Texas billionaire and former presidential candidate Ross Perot hasn't given an interview in years.

Yet Perot, who won 19 percent of the vote in the 1992 presidential election, making him one of the strongest third-party candidates in American history, contacted Newsweek's Jonathan Alter.

Perot came out and asked Alter: "Remember what you wrote about John McCain in the March 13, 2000, Newsweek?"

The article mentioned that presidential candidate John McCain labeled Perot "nuttier than a fruitcake."

Perot tells Alter that McCain "is the classic opportunist--he's always reaching for attention and glory. Other POWs won't even sit at the same table with him."

The Newsweek report outlines that the history between Perot and McCain "goes back to McCain's five and a half years of captivity in Hanoi. When McCain's then-wife Carol was in a serious car accident, McCain's mother called Perot for help. "She asked me to send my people to Philadelphia to take care of the family," Perot says. Afterwards, McCain was grateful. 'We loved him [Perot] for it.' "

Perot denies this.

"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 tells Alter.

Reportedly, the bad blood between the two men is over the fact Perot believes the senator quashed evidence that live POWs were left behind in Vietnam and even sent to the Soviet Union for human experimentation, a charge based on hearsay from a senior Vietnamese official in the 1980s.

"There's evidence, evidence, evidence," Perot states, according to Alter's report. "McCain was adamant about shutting down anything to do with recovering POWs."

Just another reason to dislike McCain.

But this one is more serious...

that is really bizarre about how McCain was the point-man in shutting down all efforts to recover POW's left behind, or to learn about them or to even remember them. There were many left behind. There were many Americans positively identified by other Americans in the prison camps who never came home.

In 1967 when the US Liberty was under attack in the Mediterranean it was Admiral McCain (John McCain's father) who ordered the aircraft carrier within range not to respond. we have every reason to believe that he & his whole family are traitors.

And if the truth were told, former Senator Bob Smith could enlighten the sheeple so much more about mccain and his activities as it regards pows/mias.

I recall several years back, shortly before 'we' decided that viet nam should be a trading partner, mccain actually pushed aside a disabled family member trying to persuade mccain to do something to help them recover their loved one.

I have zero respect for the man........the matter of the wife, the girlfriend is serious enough to me, but to turn on/against the families of other men who spent years in Hanoi Hell did it for me. There is no position I would vote him qualified for.
