Bank of America Executive Caught Promising Perry Support

Even wonder how those lobbyists let candidates know where the money is coming from? A camera caught a Bank of America executive quietly assuring Gov. Rick Perry of the support of the Bank of America.


It is as quick as that. Message given, message received.

  1. Great link Elaine. That is an amazing story. Who is running his campaign?
    Tootie,
    Obama did not bail out the banks. You might want to check out your recent history.

    @Zvyozdochka regardless of all else, I think you’ve got a great name.

    me too! what is the frenetic spelling?

  3. I posted the following on another Perry thread. I thought I’d post it here too:

    Just One Week Into His Campaign, Rick Perry Disavows His Nine-Month-Old Book
    By Ian Millhiser on Aug 22, 2011

    Excerpt:
    Last November, Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) published Fed Up, a 240-page ode to tentherism, which argues that everything from child labor laws to the Clean Air Act to Medicare violates the Constitution. As it turns out, however, claiming that America’s entire social safety net is unconstitutional isn’t a very popular position — so Perry’s now trying to take it all back just one week into his presidential campaign:

    [Perry’s] communications director, Ray Sullivan, said Thursday that he had “never heard” the governor suggest [Social Security] was unconstitutional. Not only that, Mr. Sullivan said, but “Fed Up!” is not meant to reflect the governor’s current views on how to fix the program. […]

    In an interview, Mr. Sullivan acknowledged that many passages in Mr. Perry’s “Fed Up!” could dog his presidential campaign. The book, Mr. Sullivan said, “is a look back, not a path forward.” It was written “as a review and critique of 50 years of federal excesses, not in any way as a 2012 campaign blueprint or manifesto,” Mr. Sullivan said.

    The campaign’s disavowal of “Fed Up!” is itself very new. On Sunday evening, at Mr. Perry’s first campaign stop in Iowa, a questioner asked the governor to talk about how he would fix the country’s rickety entitlement programs. Mr. Perry shot back: “Have you read my book, ‘Fed Up!’ Get a copy and read it.”

  4. Too bad that bozo wasn’t in the latest round of BoA lay-offs … maybe next round.

  10. I guess they figure they have Perry…”boy blunder” in their pocket the same as the Bush II, “son of flubber”…

  12. Perry is a creep. So I don’t know why Democrats don’t like him. He doesn’t mind TSA officials sexually molesting people and such. That is right up Obama’s alley.

    He’s a Bilderberger too. That makes him a leftist. Like Bush, he lies about being a Christian.

  14. Transformers 7 – Banks vs. Trial Lawyers

    Democratic Houston trial lawyer Steve Mostyn – who, along with his wife, Amber, donated nearly $9 million to Texas candidates and party committees in the 2010 cycle – said he’s in the process of forming “some federal PACs” to take on Perry. That will likely include a federal super PAC that could take in the kind of massive donations that are permitted in Texas.

  15. Ever wonder why Obama bailed out the banks and why the banks were among Obama’s biggest supporters? Doesn’t he need a billion dollars again for the revolving dictator’s office?

    Bank of America employees donated 280,000 plus dollars to Obama’s campaign. Joe Biden’s son (lobbyist) was on a retainer with B of A during the time when congress put forth tough regulations on bankruptcy laws [hurting the poor the most, of course]. (New York Times).

    Are leftists angry that the payoff of B of A isn’t bearing the kind of fruit they expect?

    Goldman Sachs was biggest donor to Obama.

  18. If only it were just Perry and only BoA. Sadly money talks & they have built the game so one side has all the money & can buy enough of both parties to have their way with the rest of us.

    And, thanks to those ‘strict constructionists” on the USSC, they don’t even have to pretend otherwise any longer.
