FactCheck has a report today about a pro-DeLay ad which they found misleading. It should come as no surprise that the ad was misleading. FactCheck says, “Tracking down the source of this ad was something of a chore.” When they did track down the source they found that:

the ad is being financed by a $200,000 donation from Houston homebuilder Bob Perry. As we reported in 2004, Perry was the main source of initial funding for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth at the time they launched their attack on the Vietnam War record of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

The full report is at FactCheck.org. Here’s their summary:

A newly formed conservative group is running a TV ad in Houston implying that liberal billionaire George Soros is “the source” of an earlier anti-DeLay ad by liberal groups. The pro-DeLay ad is somewhat misleading. Soros gave the liberal groups early funding two years ago, but there’s no evidence he funded the anti-DeLay ad.

However, the source of the pro-DeLay ad turns out to be a Houston homebuilder who gave $200,000 to air it, and who also was an early financier of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in the 2004 presidential campaign.

1. This guy has more money than he knows what to do with.

He needs to find a hobby, an expensive hobby. A young flashy wife who likes flashy things like diamonds and ferraris...

2. He already has a hobby

Some people collect things as a hobby. Bob Perry collects politicians. Again, you have to raise the question as to why all these Democrats have taken money from him. And what he got in return. He got a "regulatory" commission to keep anyone from filing any more lawsuits against him out of one of them. So what did he get from the rest of them?
