Bob Perry...A One Man 527

[KharmaTrain]

With all the horsecrap being tossed around MoveOn.org, it might be worth refreshing some memories and introducing others to Bob Perry:

Political donations

527 groups
In the 2004 election cycle, Perry gave $4.45 million to Swift Vets and POWs for Truth (formerly Swift Boat Veterans for Truth), a 527 group; he was the largest single donor.<4>

In that cycle, Perry also donated $3 million to Progress for America Voter Fund. In all, he donated almost $8.1 million to 527 group in 2003-2004.<4>

In mid-2006, Perry donated $5,000,000 to found a new 527 group, the Economic Freedom Fund. The $5 million makes the group one of the top ten in the 2006 election cycle.<5> He also appears to be the sole donor to Americans for Honesty on Issues. These groups have primarily paid for negative advertisements targeting Democratic Party candidates in the 2006 United States general election.

Here's over 13 million spent on lies and slander...and that doesn't count his current pet projects...working for Mittens. This dude makes George Soros look like a piker.

2. There's A Long List...

Even Wiki isn't complete...he's tied in with the phone slamming mess in Indiana last year and he had a close relationship with the Eberlys and their "Talon News"...Gunkert/Gannon anyone?

It's time this slimeball got the true scrutiny he deserves.

3. Bobby Jack Perry is my ex's cousin.

I have known the mousy little fucker for 33 years.

Quite a history:

Failed as a Baptist Preacher - too boring

Failed as an Assistant Football Coach - too much proselytizing. At Baylor University, no less!

Failed at every job he ever had

Saved from the brink of ruin by my late Father-in-Law, Al D Hennessee, Homebuilder Deluxe. He gave the little puke 100 lots in a red-hot subdivision in SW Houston and financed his first 100 houses. For that, Al D was subjected to a lifetime of scorn by the self-righteous little bastard (Al D was a Hell-Raiser Supremo - taught me almost everything I know).

Fuck you, Bobby Jack, you will never buy your way out of your insecurity complex.

5. Hey, ellay..

Any more detailed account would have worn down my fingertips.

Have you talked to any of the Clan recently?

Can you believe we were actually connected to that pus-filled prick?
