Mitt Romney may not be Texas Gov. Rick Perrys 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 sites homepage features a quote from its Crony Capitalism report: As Texas Governor Rick Perrys 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: "Perrys 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.

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.

Figgers...you lose.

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.”
