Busted! Rick Perry Using Nonprofit Corporation Run By Governors Office to Create Slush Fund.

ts no secret that I believe for most Republicans being a hypocrite is almost a required trait to be a member of the GOP.

After all, these are the small government fiscally conservative individuals who seem to always want to expand government encroachment on the private lives of Americans, and havent had a president from their party balance the budget since the 1950′s.

So it was no surprise when I heard about Rick Perry using tax dollars to fund measures that seek to lure businesses to Texas.

I was sure that news came from Think Prog and here you came admitting that it was Forward Progressive. Two words that show really serious thinking about Obama and his program. Forward, my God what can that mean? Progressive, would be what Dems have been called by leaners who took over their party. Merry Christmas, in case your people allow us to celebrate it again.

Let me suggest this article from your link as an indication of what that place is. Blogs are blogs and some worse than others. This one is really a sad place to read, I think.

Rick Perry lacks the skills that people like Karl Rove have when it comes to being underhanded. I'm surprised that he lasted as long as he has. But then again, being a Republican guarantees the support of a LOT of politically ignorant people.

The only presadent to balance the budget, lately was Bill Clinton.

Another good reason to elect Hillary, Bill will be there to help her.

To a large degree, Bill Clinton had the budget balanced for him by a huge infusion of tax revenue mostly from California that was driven by an economic boom created by the tech industry there. I doubt he would be able to repeat that fiscal feat in today's environment.

Not knocking Bill necessarily - at least he knew what to do with that money... as opposed to someone like Bush who stepped in and wasted all of it in his first term... and STILL had to borrow more to support his expanding government.

Yeah, I actually went back and edited that last part... In the interest of staying accurate... It's easy to call them stupid but I actually know some really smart Republicans... it's just that they don't extend their intelligence to politics. Kind of like the Rain Main who can recite the entire phone book but thinks a candy bar will cost $500.

bill clintons phony balance was the result of reducing the military to unsafe levels so when bush got in office he had to spend that " surplus" to get the military back to safe levels again so knock off the lies and bull shit

I think you don't know that BC did that trick because the Republican Congress forced it on him. Oh, well you don't know that the "surplus" you people talk about with him was almost exactly the same as the amount of Social Security taxes they declared surplus, too.

StraightUp actually has the ability to write clear, concise and grammatically correct posts. Perhaps studying his writing would be beneficial to you.

Safe levels? Seriously? Are you really that scared?

Even when Clinton was in office our defense budget was larger than all the other defense budgets in the world put together, including Russia and China. The only reason why some folks think that isn't enough to be "safe" is because you fall for that ridiculous fear mongering that Republicans use to enable their government subsidizing of defense industry profits.

How do you get tax payers to fund your profits? Well, you can scare the crap out of them, that usually works. You tell them that if they don't spend more and more tax money on "defense" products, bad people will come and hurt them. Why do you think we have a nuclear arsenal capable of wiping humanity off the face of the earth several times over... That's not a level of safety my friend, that's a level of profit.
