Should we be surprised, frightened, disgusted or simply say "we knew it", that in the informal mixer just after Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry spoke at a Politics and Eggs breakfast in Bedford, New Hampshire, an unknown gentlemen approaches a casual Perry like an Ian Flemming character, and proceeds to dead drop the following: "Bank of America... We will help you out"... and silently moves on. At least we know now who is funding what, and whose interests potential future president Perry will be paid to defend.

What's even weirder is that at another event, an unknown gentlemen approached a casual Perry like an Ian Flemming character, and proceeded to dead drop the following: "I am the Walrus. I am the Eggman. Koo Koo ca chew. We will help you out."
Whoa!! Almost makes me think about voting for Mitt /s.
You must be from NH, Myth is their guy.
It's more likely to be a Dem operative seeking to make an anti-Perry soundbite. I would imagine a real BoA representative would have been far more discrete.
Try to read that post again. New *Braunfels.* That’s in Texas. You know, the Great Sovereign State of Texas, once a Republic and now a donor State to pork everywhere.
Nevertheless, no matter where he works or who he works for, each American has the right to offer “help” to his candidate of choice without any implication of bribery. The people who assume illicit motives tell us more about themselves than about either of the men in the video.
Speaking of “choice, it’s obvious that there’s a boom mike over Perry’s head. If I were brilliant enough to become a muckety muck at BOA, I would offer bribes in smoke filled back rooms, not in the middle of a public event, under the boom mike.
Turns out the BoA dude SPONSORED THIS event, so he really really really likes the egg breakfast...
“Who is Ian Flemming? Gee, this guy must be a bad speller if I am corretcing him.”
The creator of the James Bond series I presumed...
Just getting weirder and weirder seeing as just the other day folk were saying perry needed to be more like James Bond and less like Rambo.
All that being said I must reiterate it don’t much matter what he intends to do in office as president. The solutions to our problems cannot come from Washington D.C. but from we the people and for a time our States.
Washington D.C. Needs to be cut down, and the only way to securely do that is from the outside. Perry or anyone else for that matter can run for president & congress, but their primarily roll will be rhetorical, their 2ndary roll will be failing to stop our advance from the States.
The point is anything Washington can “opt” to give up it can and will opt to take back. It therefore must not be optional on Washington’s part.
You all miss the point......y’all are boring me...
There was a point?
The fact you included the Bank of America thing which has no proof or authenticity tied to it... that in itself tells me you are probably out to slander Perry... with no care or concern for fact or truth.
You spread lies just like a Liberal. ;-)
if he’s for sale why should Merck be able to buy it all?
Fred thought he had a gotcha — but got got, himself!
Bank of America is too broke to help anybody. If the govt had not been propping them up for the past 2-3 years they would already be history.
Bank of America lining up for another bailout.
But it’s alright when Republicans do it.
Adios, MoFo.
Why do you think they are trying to get in with Perry? The Government will just bail them out again.
The official response from the too big to fail bank, BoA, is that they are going to advise Rick Perry on job creation.
You better watch it or Im gonna get all ‘ugly’ on you, that the way we do it down here...
He's no Dem operative He has been identified as James Mahoney the Director of Public Policy for the Bank of America.

It's not Perry's fault the man did this, but it clearly looks bad and fits right into the crony capitalist narrative building around him. Hollywood cliche becomes reality as Bad Republican meets Bad Big Businessman.
