| Back to Basics PAC continued their onslaught against Rick Perry and Texas Republicans earlier today with the launch of a new website, Rick´s Dirty Deals. The site focuses on the land deals that netted Perry hundreds of thousands of dollars during his time as an elected official, many of which Phillip covered yesterday. Back to Basics presents compelling evidence that Perry made huge profits from shady land deals involving Alan Moffatt, Michael Dell, Mike Toomey and Gary Bradley, among others. The dirty deals did not begin when Perry entered the Governor´s Mansion a decade ago, either. Two of the highly profitable deals the site profiles occurred while he was Agriculture Commissioner, establishing a disturbing pattern of using public office for personal financial gain that goes back two decades. Career politician Rick Perry has spent the last two years in statewide elected office while simultaneously making millions of dollars. After a decade of letting him slide, the questions that were once ignored are getting a second look, and as Phil wrote yesteday, this could be the issue that ends Perry´s campaign and his ten year tenure as governor. If he does lose, it will be interesting to see if Perry´s remarkable good fortune in the real estate market continue when he no longer has an elected office to exploit. Back to Basics PAC contracted Blue Roots Campaigns to build Rick´s Dirty Deals. Blue Roots includes Nate Walker, Aaron Figg and David Mauro, although Mauro did not have direct involvement in this particular project. |
