First of all, you must remember that just because something might have happened that doesn't mean it had to happen, or that it did happen.

Secondly, not all employees of corporations are prepared to lie to you.

Thirdly, news media types who make a living by inventing stories probably invented the one you were just reading.

The only thing suspicious about Ricardo Perrido is that he thought it was good to serve for 12 years as Texas governor.

My disputes with the guy involve his lamebrain and nationally counterproductive policies. For most topend politicians those policies are concocted by their closest advisors ~ for which reason we should beware of Perry's old cronies and donors should he become President. None of those people should be allowed anywhere near the levers of power.

Policies like the Gardisil thing are usually concocted by politicians' closest advisors ~ proof-positive is that Perry's COS went to work for Merck as their chief lobbyist .....

Perry bragged to the debate audience that he raised about $30 million and feigned distress at the suggestion that he could be bought for Merck's "cheap" $5,000 donation.

But Perry failed to tell the audience that he has a presidential war chest of $55 million raised (under FEC rules),in $2500 max per person/ $5000 max per corporate PAC contributions.

Perry raised $55 mill at the same time he was saying he would not run for president. He seems to get millions out of nowhere.

LETS LOOK AT 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.

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

Did crony capitalist Rick Perry receive more from Merck than the paltry $5000 he has admitted to. Did he falsify state documents WRT the Merck donation?

FOREGONE CONCLUSION Perry's old cronies and donors should not be allowed anywhere near the levers of federal power.

The most suspicious thing about Senor Ricardo is that he had an unbroken string of elections for 10 years.......So how'd he do that?
