But didn’t Perry create the TEF?
All that taxpayer slush money floating around and the political contributions that grease the system explains the why and how of the system being rigged against average voters.
It took a perfect storm (great candidate, early backing, late primary, late summer runoff, tactical errors by incumbent) to get Ted Cruz elected. Why does it take running the table to get one of our own in office?
The system is rigged.
It doesnt rub any easier because the power players have an “R” after their name. In fact, that just adds insult to injury because the very people bending us over are supposed to be our ideological allies.
Sigh.
