Forbes ^ | July 20, 2011 | Clare O'Connor

In a federal race like the presidency, each donor can only give $2,500 per candidate. However, there's nothing stopping powerful 'bundlers' from collecting checks from their rich friends. President Obama is already taking advantage of these super - donors: billionaire Democrats including Penny Pritzker and Marc Benioff have already raised hundreds of thousands for the reelection campaign. Perry must be hoping his past billionaire donors will do the same. Per Texas state disclosure records:

Absolutely not, do I dislike rich folks. Many of them tend to support elitists, or suffer from guilt, so I don’t trust their endorsements. Obviously, they all SHOULD have endorsed Sarah, but she’s not an upper cruster. Bob

You purists are making the word “RINO” as meaningless as liberals have made the word “racist”.

The same crap was hurled at us by Rudy and Mitt supporters because we had enough principles to not want Rudy or Mitt.

You're in good company Sarabaracuda!

Assuming there are 30 million illegals in America, put it into the context of congressional districts. With population of a bit over 600,000 per district, those illegals have the potential of scewing more than 50 house seats in favor of the democrats.

Anyone who votes for a pro amnesty republican may as well quit fooling themselves and go ahead and vote for Obama. They’re doing just as much harm to America as Obama and happily do so out of a lust for power.

Anyone who thinks a vaccine can stop cancer of the uterus also believes in fairy tales.However, Fairy Tales usually contained a good moral. Gardisil will, no doubt, prove to be snake oil. I would not chose to give it to my daughters.

So, how much did Merck contribute to Perry’s campaign in return for his rash move?

$6000. I guess that proves what a cheap low life scumbag sell out Perry is. Merck's dropping millions and Perry sold out for $6,000. Or he received advise from doctors and others and overreached, implemented an opt out clause, was told no by the Legislature and then dropped it altogether.
