SCANDAL-SCARRED TEXAS GOVERNOR TO RAISE MONEY FOR PALMETTO “REPUBLICANS”

Embattled Texas Gov. Rick Perry is traveling to early-voting South Carolina next week to raise money for the Palmetto State’s “Republican” Party.

Perry – indicted last week on corruption charges in the Lone Star State – will appear at a party fundraiser at the First Citizens Cafe in downtown Columbia on Wednesday April 27.  The event begins with a “photo line” at 5:30 p.m. EDT – at least for those who pay $100 toward the GOP “victory” efforts.

Everyone else must pay $25 to attend a 6:00 p.m. “tailgate” in honor of the August 28 showdown between the No. 9 University of South Carolina Gamecocks and the No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies.

Perry is a Texas A&M alumnus.

As Perry’s national star has ascended in recent months, FITS has been tracking some troubling reports out of his home state regarding corporate cronyism (reports tangentially related to his recent indictment).

We knew from the 2012 election that Perry was a corporate crony “Republican,” but we had no idea the extent of his reliance on government subsidies to “create jobs” and sustain his political fundraising machine.

To read our recent report on all that, CLICK HERE.

For those of you with short memories, Perry was the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination in September 2011 … but by January 2012 had dropped out of the race, endorsing the candidacy of another liberal “Republican” – Newt Gingrich.

Now that Perry has an arrest record, my money says he’s be the next Newt Gingrich for the SC primary.

Great video, great song! Fuller could really play that guitar.

Has he gotten permission from the DA to travel outside the state?? Stay away Mr. Perry.. You went into office a pauper and are now a millionaire. We don’t need you to do that on the national stage..

If Obama was indicted I would ask the same thing, as far as the corrupt crony funds go.. He is the same as Perry both are the scourge of the earth. The people don’t matter only the contributors. There is one significant difference—one has a D and one has an R.. See my avatar for my views on the two parties..

Don’t worry John Boy. The New Black Panthers and ISIS just haven’t announced their fundraising schedule for South Carolina’s democrats. They are busy in Ferguson.

Did I say something wrong? Been more outrage from liberal/socialists about the police in Ferguson protecting the citizens and businesses than about ISIS ‘beheading’ an American.
Attorney General Eric Holder supported and defended the New Black Panthers.
Democrats frankly just don’t like America very much. Look who they elect.

Yeah, hold on their John Boy – T-Rav is running as a independent. No major Republicans have signed on to support his felonious ass.

Point taken, but he sure as hell isn’t going to run as a Democrat in this state.

I am surprised someone as smart as you has not commented on why most democrats nationally are even calling this indictment a farce?
They know if they get Perry it will make it much easier to INDICT muslim Obama on corruption charges early next year. Hell with impeachment.

A conviction of Perry for the ‘veto’ would set ‘legal precedent’. Ever heard of it? :-)

The Colonel August 20, 2014 at 6:20 pm

For Texas maybe.

Perry was in SC three years ago when he announced his run for the 2012 presidential nomination. Has he learned his lesson?

He is a crony capitalist authoritarian like the majority of Repubs out there. Don’t think stupidity is the proper word,

crony capitalist authoritarian = liberal?

Reply
Lee Padgett August 20, 2014 at 11:41 am

When misusing my money and spending like there is no tomorrow. (His views on supposed National Security require huge amounts of cash) Yeah liberal.. Fiscally he is liberal. Morally he is no better than T-Rav and Sanford whom most of the repubs despise. And if liberals aren’t authoritarians with their laws (which Repubs have the same mindset only is the opposite direction) then I don’t know who is.. yeah the term applies.

Reply
Bible Thumper August 20, 2014 at 11:45 am

That must be why so many self identified liberals support Gingrich. ;-)

Lee Padgett August 20, 2014 at 4:51 pm

No it is called Statism.. Something which SC is proud of and also the supposed hardcore repubs in this state are no more fiscally conservative than Harry Reid or Nancy friggin Pelosi, they just want to waste money in a different way.And constitutionally they are no different than Obama. Different cheeks of the same ass.
