[RED SOUTH]

An investigative report by the Dallas Morning News showed that Rick Perry coordinated with two business partners to flip land he purchased and sold in order to profit more than $500,000.

Perry covered-up this scandal by refusing to release the public listing agreement, attempting to hide the identity of the land buyer and hiding the fact that the buyer was a business partner with the original seller.

I know freepers get turned on everytime they see a pair of boots and a hat but Perry is sitting on top of a mountain of corruption and he won't survive. It's just a fact. In about a week or two , Romney will have to unleash the attack machine on Perry to stop his bleed in the polls. When people find out about the real Rick , his bubble will pop. If he survives it , he will be damaged goods and Team Obama is ready to finish him off. Team Obama , while publicly hinting they are afraid of Perry , actually consider him the best christmas gift they could ever get.

I wonder how much ink the Dallas Morning News gave to the little land deal Barack Obama had with Tony Rezko?

You never miss a chance to put ANYTHING Gov. Perry does in a bad light, do you RED SOUTH.

A friend an political ally of Governor Perry in 2000, sold him a half acre lot on Horseshoe Bay adjoining his lot for $300,000.00. In 2007, (SEVEN YEARS LATER, hardly a "flip") an appraiser hired by the Dallas Morning News , said the sale was undervalued by 150,000.00.

In 2007, Gov. Perry sold the lot for 1.15m to a Mr. Moffett (from Britian). That same appraiser hired by the Dallas Morning News said the sale was 350,000.00 overvalued. The bank appraiser said the sale was 100,000.00 UNDERVALUED.

A couple of observations....anybody who deals in real estate transactions (I'm licensed) knows they can get an appraisal for property just about anywhere they want it, especially in "hot"(active) markets. Appraisal disputes are a dime a dozen.

Moffatt denied anything improper occurred in the transaction. "It just happened that the governor of Texas owned that lot," he said. "It was a good deal for me."

Is there any charge (or evidence) that Mr. Moffatt wanted favorable legislation passed? NO. Is there any charge (or evidence) that Mr. Moffatt wanted a patronage job with the State of Texas? NO. Is there any charge (or evidence) that Mr. Moffatt wanted ANYTHING from Gov. Perry other than the land he bought? NO.

How DARE Gov. Perry (as a willing seller) make a profit on a sale (to a willing buyer).
