Super PACs Aren’t Enough For The Perry Spending Machine
Okay, so I told you about one Super PAC with does-this-husband-and-wife-speak-to-each-other ties that is raising money for Rick Perry. After raising only $16,500 – mostly from lobbyists and political consultants – they shut down. (PDF)
But, now they’ve jumped the shark on political fundraising.
Citizens for a Greater America, a group newly launched by allies of GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry, has organized under IRS rules as a 501(c)(4) permitting donors to give unlimited contributions and remain secret.
Hell, yes! That unlimited and anonymous fundraising is da bomb! You can take money from foreign nationals, even members of Al Qaeda, drug dealers, gun runners, and even people worse than that – Bob Perry – and nobody is the smarter.
It’s the simple answer to I Have Sleazy Friends With a Radical Agenda And Lots of Money.
Thank you, Citizens United, for putting American politics in the crapper.
And Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the coffee this morning and the heads-up.
