Governor Rick Perry (Left) & Tony Sanchez

fyi......

Raising the specter of recent corporate accounting scandals, the Republican governor on Monday repeated his call for Mr. Sanchez to release his compete income tax records so that voters can better assess his business dealings.

Sighs~, it's reported that Rick accepted a 1 mil. contribution from trial lawyers. Think i'll take my placard and go home....L~

There is an article in this weeks Reader's Digest about three states where doctors can no longer afford malpractice insurance premiums (Texas is one of those three). The doctors are therefore retiring, or moving out of state. This is the result of the power of trial lawyers. Even New Jersey has a cap, but Texas doesn't.

The scary part, this has/is creating a shortage of doctors in Texas......somebody needs to shake Perry's tree.

There is a great ad out by the US Chamber of Commerce that is about excessive lawsuits and their costs to the average person. Ran during the NFL games this Sunday. Might be effective in shifting some of the election debate if it can get broad airplay in the next few weeks.

[Bad~Rodeo]

Sounds interesting, any link or number to call on where to get more info?

[Bad~Rodeo]

Although i have not read the article, Dr's in South Texas recently held a protest.

[Diddle E. Squat]

I dunno. Maybe watch football next Sunday.

Perhaps the US CofC has a website with more info.

it's reported that Rick accepted a 1 mil. contribution from trial lawyers.

Reported where? I think that's highly unlikely to be true.

[Bad~Rodeo]

It's a recent ad Slam by Tony (barf) Sanchez

[writmeister]

And in the Sanchez Ad, it is a million dollars from insurance companies -- not from trial lawyers.

[Dog Gone]

Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention. I thought the ad was claiming that Perry had received donations from HMOs and insurance companies.

[Dog Gone]

Good, we've seen the same ads.

[PhiKapMom]

Trial lawyers did not donate one million dollars to Rick Perry's campaign. What I want to know is why you would post what is so obviously wrong information? According to Open Secrets the following are the amounts by Lawyers to the entire Country:

Total: $12,894,224
To Democrats: $9,582,574 (74%)
To Republicans: $3,311,650 (26%)

NOTE: That is for the entire Country and you want us to believe out of $3 million, that Rick Perry received 1/3 of that! Not to mention this was for all types of law firms.

[Bad~Rodeo]

Calm down PKmom, all i said was that in a RECENT TV slam by Tony Sanchez, HE's saying that Rick accepted it. More dis-info obviously

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks! I thought you were for Sanchez! And were taking this as fact on the trial lawyers. I have sufficiently calmed down! LOL!!!!!!!

[Bad~Rodeo]

Spitting out Coffee Me for Sanchez?..LOL~

[PhiKapMom]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! I am getting paranoid around here!

[Bad~Rodeo]

The ad i saw said Trial Lawyers. Sanchez is rumored to accept large donations from private insurance companies

[AlaninSA]

Mr. Sanchez didn't just accept donations from large insurance concerns...

The hypocrite IS an insurance company profiteer himself!!! He's been raking in the cash by making profits off "the little guy," redlining and credit scoring -- all things he's claimed to vehemently oppose.
