| The Texas Independent has reported that executives from Taxmasters, a company charged by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbot in May with illegally defrauding customers seeking help for tax problems has contributed over $160,000 to State and Federal Republican politicians and political organizations. This includes the FEC maximum of $4800 to Michael McCaul, my republican opponent for Texas Congressional District 10 this November. Mr. McCaul is using potentially illegally obtained money to influence the electorate and he should immediately return it. |

| This is simply another instance of financial impropriety committed by Representative McCaul. He was recently caught by the Congressional "Roll Call" newspaper with understating his income and net worth by at least half. Representative McCaul said it was a "clerical error". Isn't that what democratic Representative Rangel, on whose trial Rep McCaul is about to be the Judge, said? It would appear that "Birds of a Feather" do indeed flock together, or were the contributions from Taxmasters executives simply meant to spread the wealth.
I've seen and heard the Taxmasters ads repeatedly. As I was driving to Austin on Thursday, I tuned in to Rush Limbaugh. He was complaining that "Liberals" weren't paying any attention to him, so I'll oblige him with a little attention. Listening to the advertisers on his program, much of whom were of the ilk of Taxmasters, I was struck at how he is really a giant vaccuum hose sucking money out of his "dittoheads" and into his pocket. |
