1. Two of the Rick Perry franchise owners

$2,531,799 Bob & Doylene Perry Perry Homes Houston
$1,120,000 Harold C. Simmons Contran Corp. Dallas

Harold Simmons is the Waste Control Specialist trash and nuclear waste dump king. :puke:

2. Koch whore

Lookie, lookie - no surprise who else owns some of the Perry franchise.

$100,000 KOCH PAC Koch Industries Washington

:mad:

11. Bob Perry is the Koch of Texas.

He reliably donates enormous sums to the conservative movement. The only difference is that Koch's companies provide valuable goods and services in their industries. Perry makes his money providing sub-standard housing to unwitting home buyers, so he's more like the Rick Scott of Texas.

13. The original swift boarder - smear king

MSNBC 8/27/04
‘Swift Boat’ backer is major political financier
Texan has deep pockets for conservative causes

HOUSTON — The chief financial backer of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and its television ad challenging Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry’s military record is a wealthy Texas homebuilder known for his deep pockets and aversion to the limelight.

He pretty much owns every repuke at the Texas Lege.

:puke:

12. Swiftboaters, naturally

Simmons gave $3 million to the Swift Boat Veterans and Perry gave $1 million.

In 2008, Simmons was the sole funder, to the tune of $3 million, of the American Issues Project, which tried to tie Obama to Bill Ayers. Last year, his Southwest Louisiana Land LLC gave $1 million to Rove's American Crossroads.

3. I love how Koch and crew have unreccd you.

[sonias]

4. Thank you, w8liftinglady!

:hug:

5. Hmmm

Shrub said he got his political start stealing his Dad's Christmas Card list. Do you think Perry did the same, or do you think this is a wholly different list.

L-

[sonias]

6. Some are the same

Some are much, much worse. Perry doesn't have any morals. He would take money from the Taliban if he could hide the source.

7. Well, Hagee has already donated

And prefers Perry to Bachmann or Palin.

8. Well, if it helps any

we now have a detailed list of all the truly stupid people in Texas

[sonias]

9. Some of them like the Koch whores live outside of Texas

But yes I would agree this is a good starting point of the big size stupid in Texas.

:hi:

10. Check the list out more closely, it's a cesspit of corruption

Not stupidity, but a vile reeking cesspit of corrupt entities looking to further their goals.

The ones of greatest concern to us should be the vast amount who have tentacles reaching far beyond Texas. Those are the ones with enough power and influence to buy media support on a national level. Others there are more a local concern banking on taking their game to a national level riding on Perry's coattails.
