Texas Gov. Rick Perry and his family have made presidential campaign trips aboard a jet owned by a wealthy contributor who is under investigation for possible securities fraud by Texas regulators and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Perry, who has emerged in just weeks as the new frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, flew last weekend aboard Brian D. Pardo's Cessna Citation X jet from a remote Texas airport to various campaign events in Iowa, according to a Perry campaign aide and flight records obtained via Flightwise.com.

Why are Saul Alinsky type threads against a GOP front runner appearing on FR?
Is this about Mitt Romney, trying to sabotage his competition?
He didn’t give Perry a lift. The campaign rented the jet. Paid for. When he gets up to $10 million like Moo Obama, then I’ll comment.
.... and Obama got a far more questionable real estate deal from Tony Rezcko. So?
If this is all they’ve got on Perry, they’re grasping for straws.
If the MSM had investigated Obama 1/10th of the amount that they have investigated Perry since he announced we would not have Obama as POTUS.
Because we are going to expose Perry for what he believes in ...... CORPORATE CRONY CAPITALISM! Too bad, the truth hurts.
The Republican electorate needs to know how this guy operates. All these Perry supporters have jumped on his bandwagon because of his loud mouth image, not bothering to know how the guy operates.
A month ago, I thought Perry would be a great option if Palin didn't run. The more I learn about the Texas Wheeler Dealer, the lower he moves on my list of GOP candidates. He's on a level with Mitt now.
Perry rented the craft, why is this a big deal?
Interesting you use liberal tactics against someone you seem to be accusing of liberalism.
Thought we’re better than that, actually.
How about focusing that intensity against the opposition. Using the left’s tactics against the left is beyond fair - it’s utterly righteous.
Attacking our own, isn’t righteous.
I don’t think any candidate can touch Palin, now that we know her campaign is a fight against the permanent political class.
All other candidates seem to be part of that class.
Big deal. I happen to know of a guy who’s been flying around on the world’s two biggest corporate jets for the last 2 and half years, all at taxpayer expense! (Air Force One and Two.)
And this guy is totally unqualified to hold his job, which he got without being properly vetted!
Flying around in a Citation is peanuts. They really must be desperate to dig up dirt on Perry.
OMG NO~!
Its a good thing he never accepted money from oversees donors like the presdient did
Sounds like an 0bama-led smear operation to distract people from the Solyndra scandal.
Talk about the coziness factor of scumbags draining the treasury who have direct connections to THE seat of power in America?!!!
Alinsky is alive and well with our opponents.
“Because we are going to expose”
Who is we.
Don’t hide behind a screen name. If WE is a group or Party, at least reveal your agenda other than to smear Perry.
We KNOW how Perry operates. And his open war with the EPA and job creation is enough for me. (among other things)
What politically naive fools we have here on FR.
The concept that gov’t has the power to regulate corporations, but those same corporations should stay out of influencing gov’t is a 100% liberal idea!
Shut up and eat your peas!
“We” are all those sick and tired of “Corporate Crony Capitalism”, “Socialism”, “Democrats”, “ESTABLISHMENT”, and RINOs.
Also, any politician coming out of Texas is already a compromised pol. Just like Bush was. They are so tied-in to the MEHICANO immigration, legal or otherwise, that they will do SQUAT on stopping all those illegals coming in. They will not get my vote in the primary!
“Is this about Mitt Romney, trying to sabotage his competition?”
Probably mostly being posted by MittBots with a smattering of Paulians and a decent dose of flat out trolls.
I don’t know Mr. Robinson’s position on Perry, but I do know he has little patience for MittBots and trolls, so I expect we’ll start seeing some righteous zots soon. Lots of ‘em...
Rather than all that blather, you should have simply admitted that you are a PalinBot.
