I think Texans ought to occupy our dear governor Perry's remote mansion...

Just a little visual reminder about whose camp he's in...as if there's any question.

Governor Perry Living High On The Hog In Rented Mansion

I still swear he had something to do with the burning of the governor's mansion so he
could conduct his daily comings and goings more secretively. But then I'm a hard core 'good hair' baddy. :P

2. Republicons enjoy the High Life in taxpayer-funded FatCat-socialist Mansions (R)

"Steal from the poor, give to the rich - Republicons, Republicons."

- Slobbin Hood (R - FatCat Socialist)

3. I wish I could say it was just the republicans...

but then I seem to recall a similar story about a certain Dem presidential candidate. And for him that was just the beginning....

4. ...ya gots your occasional RepubliCrat in Demo clothing

...but no one -- no one -- can TOP the Republicons when it comes to dealing out generous gobs of government-welfare-socialist PAYOLA to themselves and their FatCat DoughBoy Cronies (R) while snatching bread from the mouths of starving urchins and bedridden elders.

It's their speciality (R).

5. there is no comparison between Edwards and Perry on this

Edwards mansion was paid for by Edwards not the taxpayers of North Carolina.

6. True. Or at least I think it is, although I'm not sure where his money came from.

These 'occupations' are not about politics anyway. Distribution of wealth is a big issue, and who bankrolls politicians is another.

7. It came from an astonishly successful law practice

He was one of the top trial lawyers in the country.

8. This story is about a fatcat Republicon governor living high on the hog

sucking up heaps of taxpayer bucks for his own luxurious high-rolling first-class comfort, while he and his FatCat Republicon Cabal O'Cronies smarmily snatch milk bottles from babies.

It is soooo republicon...it stinks.

Republicons are Indeed the Latter Day Pharisees (LDP).

9. What's the address, I'll propose a march on it at the next GA for OccupyAustin

10. Will have to do a little research, but the article's photo shows the entrance to the gated community

as The Estates of Barton Creek. Might be interesting to get at least a small band of folks over there.
However, this AP article calls it by another name:

Texas Governor Rick Perry has spent almost $600,000 in public money during the past two years to live in the exclusive Estates Above Lost Creek subdivision in West Austin, according to records obtained by the Associated Press. http://austinist.com/2010/05/17/taxpayers_footing_big_bill_for_perr.php

11. ...and found this

12. I wonder who owns the property and why it warrants $10,000 a month

when Texas schools are going without? Is someone getting a sweetheart deal, getting their home paid for over 2-3 years because they are buddies with the Guv?
