Money is the mother's milk of politics...

And Obama is raising $1B for his campaign.
Is there news here? I mean other than that the press is out to get Perry.

The ironic thing is, the more the MSM goes after Perry, the more people like him.

Time to rethink that strategy, guys.

Which people? The Tea Party? Sure..the more they know they more they like.

Everyone else? Not so much.

Even without CU it would stay that way. That's because the alternative to money i politics is a fascist one-party state. Doubtless the dream of the Marxist-In-Chief.

Money and politics??

Nothing new there folks.

Mr. Perry insists on unquestioned political loyalty in exchange for his patronage, no matter how inappropriate or out of place. In 2009, two members of the Board of Regents of Texas Tech University said the Perry administration pressured them to resign because they supported Mr. Perry’s challenger in the gubernatorial race, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. One regent, Windy Sitton, told The Austin American-Statesman that she was given a choice to disavow Senator Hutchison or resign; when she refused, she was replaced. Mark Griffin, the other regent, said he was told by Mr. Perry’s chief of staff that the governor “expects loyalty out of his appointees and if you can’t be loyal, it’s probably not best to be on the team.”

Do tell.

Wow.

Yeah, that sounds credible. Disgruntled comments from frustrated hacks.

You don't read your neg reps because there are only 24 hours in a day.

Perry has gone from being someone half the country didn't know a few weeks ago to running about even with the Community Organizer.

And just judging by the way he makes you and the usual suspects nuts tells me that you are crapping your jeans at the thought of running against him in the fall.

O brought his money machine too in 08 to the tune of nearly 700M. What's the story here?
