Admiral Stockdale in TV debate

I am so glad to see so many positive comments about this true american hero. I do not agree that he would have made a great president. He was certainly a hero though and should not be remembered for this debate but for his courage and strength during his time as a Vietnam prisoner. His wife is also a hero in her relentless pursuit of his release. Sybil Stockdale is among the true heros of American History...

I admire and highly respect this great man. A college professor introduced him to me in my sophmore year. He is a person I attempt to copy in my actions and conduct. It is sad that we Americans are more interested in who can speak the best or look more 'executive' when we elect our leaders. Adm. Stockdale had more integrity, bravery, and will power than every current senator and rep. combined. Most Americans cannot recognize a great man because most are cowardly, dull, and lazy. GBU Sir.

Go read up on Admiral Stockdale.. he agreed to be a temporary running mate for Perot until he found someone more suitable. Seriously, look him up and what he did in Vietnam. Don't be a sheep.

gridlock!

It's sad that the majority of the young people in this country who have even heard of Admiral Stockdale know only of his blunders during the debate or the SNL sketches which mocked him. The man is a true hero in every sense of the word. He has my deepest respect.

All this proves is the low utility of "debates". The best person for the job is not the best debater.

Stockdale would have made an excellent President.

I know! That and he didn't get a prep debate.

say what you want but this man was a true American Hero!

Perot was flying high until this

OH WOW! I did not know about this guy until my speech class and someone put him on the list of the "worse speaker".....I see why
