Before they were rivals for the 2012 GOP nomination, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry got entangled in a $1 million donation controversy that a judge ruled broke the law. Steve McVicker reports.
It might be hard to imagine after last weeks GOP presidential slugfest, but there was a time not too long ago when a group headed by Mitt Romney quietlyand a judge says illegallyhelped Rick Perrys political career in Texas and set the stage for his new nemesis to rise on the national stage.
Spokesmen for Romney and Rick Perry did not return repeated requests seeking comment.
Rick Perrys campaign has denied in the past that it did anything wrong but settled its role in the lawsuit by making a $427,000 payment in 2010, court records show.
Damn I’m glad you’ve posted this. If there’s a nefarious activity on the campaign trail Perry’s got to be involved. The Marlboro man’s a menace.
Recall Perry as governor of Texas, the people of Texas deserve a leader. And also, to hell with Mitt.
