Perry’s system of patronage and cronyism

Mitt Romney may not be Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s biggest problem. The nonprofit group Texans for Public Justice, a good-government foundation that has been keeping tabs on him for years, may claim that title. Its Web site’s homepage features a quote from its Crony Capitalism report: “As Texas Governor Rick Perry’s influence at the RGA increased over the past five years the political finances of both the governor and the Governors Association skyrocketed. The RGA raised a record $216.9 million during the Perry years between January 2006 and June 30, 2011.

I make up my own mind about candidates. In all my time on FR I can't remember anyone saying to to me, "I'm not gonna vote for so-and-so because you were nasty to me". In fact during my 40+ years of political activism and advocacy on behalf of conservatives and Republicans, I don't know anyone who dropped support for a candidate because of some harsh rhetoric that crossed their ears or eyes.

Obviously you are easily upset and swayed by rhetorical harshness. I call that wimpy.

This article is found under the section of the WashCompost called.... "PostOpinion". Its an opinion piece. Bogus charges by a big time Romney supporter.

In the article: "Perry’s spokesman insists that Perry appoints people on merit."

If you have charges of illegalities against Gov Perry, I suggest you contact the Texas Attorney General and show him this article in the WashCompost.

>>>>>>It's been a long time since I locked horns with that one.

You locked horns with me and got pulverized, pussycat. Just like your sweetheart bud was earlier today. LOL

So quit yelling at me and refute the charges. If you can.

[Reagan Man]

You don’t refute bogus charges by an opposition political opertaive, pinhead.

Take it to the Texas AG or stfu already!

Heh... you call that dance you're doing locking horns? LOL

Don't flatter yourself, bud. You're just shouting down the hall with your hair on fire. I certainly don't take you seriously.

Later.

So, that's it. You can't discuss the charges, or refute them in any way. Yelling "lies!" at the top of your lungs is all you've got, eh?

Figgers...you lose.

No, YOU did! Remember? #60! You want me to link it for you, or you think you can find it on your own. LOL

I’d like to see things from your point of view but I can’t seem to get my head up my ass.

Thanks for the link!!! So this quoted Texans for Justice is partly funded by Soros, gee.... *rolls eyes*

“But conservatives should pause before taking the word of a secretive, left-wing, Soros-funded organization that has spent the last 15 years attacking conservative politicians who work to rein in trial lawyers and institute pro-business reforms.”
