That is incorrect according to what I have read.  By the way, my sources
are not the newspapers or Perot himself.  It was from books from independant
sources who wrote the books before Perot even came into the public eye.  Perot
was clearly redefined by the Republicans.  Before he ran for office, everyone
(except GM) referred to Perot as an unselfish, patriotic, hero of sorts.  After
he decided to run, he became the nasty tyrant (declared so by the very people
who previously referred to him as the hero).
