GOP super donor Bob Perry of Texas dies at 80

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Republican mega-donor Bob Perry never cared for the spotlight. But writing big checks and financing one of the most famous television ads ever in a presidential campaign made the Texas millionaire famous nonetheless.

A wealthy Houston homebuilder who shunned publicity while generously bankrolling GOP candidates — and becoming a force in a new era of lavish spending in American politics — Perry died over the weekend, said former Texas state Rep. Neal Jones, a close family friend.

Jones said late Sunday that Perry died "peacefully in his sleep" Saturday night. He did not offer further details.

7. Let his legacy be that he impugned the courage and service of a Vietnam Veteran.

Why right-wingers hate war protestors so much, I don't know. Their own people defame the sacrifices of our military people far worse than any on the left ever could...

10. I have been pretty consistent in wishing the dead a safe passage while I've been here
