Big Ricky vetoes R bill.. approves money laundering!

[Bo-4]

Meanwhile, Texas Republicans are doing a double face-palm.

One of the Texas bill's sponsors, state Sen. Kel Seliger (R-Amarillo), criticized Perry's veto. "This is a sad day for integrity and transparency in Texas," he said in a statement. "Governor Perry's veto of SB 346 legalizes money laundering in Texas elections. The Governor's veto is ironic since money laundering is illegal in other endeavors. As other states have stepped forward to ban election money laundering by dark money 501c4 non-profit corporations, it is embarrassing that the Lone Star state is now an official safe haven for political money launderers. Again, the 2010 Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United vs FEC case clearly stated that disclosure of contributions was critical to the right of corporations to participate in our system of democracy."

Ike warned us....60 years ago-

"Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."-----Dwight D. Eisenhower, letter to his brother-----

Perhaps Ike was talking about the Filthy Koch Brothers' Dirty Dad Fred who founded the John Birch Society?

The Birchers seem to be taking over again....despite Ike and Bill Buckley trying to save the GOP and the Right from them. Question is....can Reince Priebus, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindhal, et al save it again???

Him and this guy:

HL Hunt

Hunt became best known for his political views. From 1951 to 1956 he funded his own foundation, called Facts Forum, which produced radio and television programs of conservative, anti-Communist political commentary. The foundation also distributed books by Senator Joseph R. McCarthy and others. In 1958 he revived the foundation as Life Line, to distribute a daily 15-minute radio program carried by more than 400 stations.

Perry wouldn't have done it...if he wasn't considering another run at the Nomination in 2016.
