Houston builder's $8 million tops GOP donor list (Bob "Swiftboat" Perry)
If this doesn't make the case for higher taxes on the uberrich, what does?

Bob Perry (AKA DeLay's Bitch) is financing House races nationwide, but not in state

Houston homebuilder Bob Perry, the state's top Republican donor, is venturing again into national politics, putting more than $8 million into the GOP's effort to maintain control of Congress.

Congressional Quarterly's PoliticalMoneyLine, which tracks how money is spent in politics, ranks Perry as the No. 1 donor this year.

Perry has given $2 million to Americans for Honesty on Issues, a new group that is buying television ads aimed at helping Republicans facing tight House races in Iowa, Colorado, Indiana, Arizona, North Carolina, Kentucky and New Mexico, according to the group's latest report to the Federal Election Commission.

1. HOW BOUT AN AUDIT

Bet an honest audit would show tax evasion. also vast federal money involved in his personal wealth.
so much for election reform and limited donations to prevent buying elections.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER: IF IT'S FROM TEXAS,IT BREAKS GODS COMMANDMENTS:
IT LIES,IT STEALS,IT PROSTITUES,AND IT TAKES FROM THE WEAK!

2. The man is dirty as a dead dog...
His employees are told they must drive a late-model Truck (2 years or less), PLUS the MAKE&MODEL depending on their title, and of course the co. DOES not pay for the vehicle. He also will not hire ANYONE with a beard.

He is crazier than a rat in a coffeecan.
