James Leininger--Financing Right Wingnuts in Texas
The Texas Freedom Network had a newsclip about Mark Williams, a Longview businessman who is challenging state Rep. Tommy Merritt in East Texas' District 7, who responded to questions regarding why he is one of a number of social conservatives being largely financed by pro-voucher "sugar daddy" James Leininger.

Leininger financed Rick Perry and Carole Keeton Rylander Strayhorn (whatever).

You know, we talk a lot about the talking heads who get elected. I think we could use some focus on the money behind the mouths and really provide these whoremongers a little more publicity.

Here's the link to the Texas Freedom Network story about Williams.

Here's a juicy little tidbit from the past on Leininger, Governor Goodhair Rick Perry and Carole Keeton Rylander Strayhorn (whatever)..
