That's great news! Pro life, pro 2nd Amendment, big state governor, ex Air Force pilot, Eagle Scout and he also is friends with Bob Perry, the same guy who financed the Swiftboat Vets for Truth.

Sounds like Perry has some patriotic friends with money.

This is a good start and good news for everyone who wants to defeat Obama.

Swiftboat marks my very first financial contribution in politics. Love Bob Perry and his support of Rick. I’ll be donating time and money till it hurts this election season to see Rick into the White House and Obama on the speaking circuit.

A home-grown farm boy, an Eagle Scout, A Texas Aggie, a U.S.Air Force pilot, retired as a Captain, Texas Agriculture Commissioner, first Texas Republican Lieutenant Governor, Elected Governor 3 times, Chairman of the Republican Governors Association, never been beat.

You sound envious. Don’t you want to defeat Obama?

[Liz]

This is called “vetting” a candidate——look it up if you don’t know what it means.

Okay, sense there is obviously no fooling you. Think union jobs, unions, contributions. Think selected corporations, loans, grants, donations, think kickbacks and corruption. Think the Santa Claus routine, Obama handing out goodies in areas where a little fed money can buy a lot of votes, all the usual political tricks. Then, understand, as I’m sure most people here do, that my $450 billion dollar comment was hyperbole, an exaggeration, and a bit of a joke, though not entirely. You may do some research into how recipients of past stimulus money managed to pay Obama and Democrats back with various donations.

Have fun.
