... Let’s call Mexico’s bluff on its unwarranted interference in U.S. immigration policy. Let’s propose, just to make a point, that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) member nations standardize their immigration laws by using Mexico’s own law as a model.

I'd love to see a politician with the b*lls to do that!

Perry mentioned at the Tea Party debate that he raised about $30 million for his reelection campaign at the time of the Gardisil scandal---and received $6000 from Merck---Gardisil's mfg.

Curiously, 2012 candidate Perry "forgot" to say that for his presidential campaign he raised $55 million in $2500 max per person/ $5000 max per corporate PAC contributions (under FEC rules).

One would think Ricky "It's All About Me" Perry would be flaunting that he made a bundle with corporate donations.

=====================================

Let's examine the facts: Top executives at publicly-traded companies are required to certify the accuracy of their financial results. Execs have to affix their signature to official documents attesting to company's earnings affirming that there were internal controls to prevent fraud.

The FEC and SEC might have to determine whether publicly-reported earnings, through a variety of devices, produced materially false and misleading financial results.

Some execs have used schemes like misusing reserve accounts, concealing losses, inflating asset values and improperly accounting for transactions, as well as deferring profits into reserve accounts, improperly shifting capital funding to other projects to hide illegal payments to politicians.

Course Rick Perry knows nothing about that, I'm sure.
