Lobbyist attacks. Bill White is not without sin on this... yet he is personally casting stones... I think he will be punished severely by the voters for this blatant hypocrisy...
Most of those people on there are elected officials... and then a cursory glance shows that those are lots of OLD lobbyists, MAYBE current lobbyists. Some of those people are in like their 70's and 80's. I don't doubt that they were lobbyists at some point in the 1990's or early 2000's, but I think you should double check those numbers.
ReplyDeleteRick Perry's fundraiser was sloppy work done by a sloppy fundraising team. This is exactly what we were worried about when his ace raisers left after the primary. Their lobbyist supporters (and BOTH campaigns have them) should have been spread out through multiple fundraisers. There is no reason to brand a fundraiser by making nearly all of the hosts lobbyists. Just VERY sloppy.
This is not a winning issue for us, unless you have other research. Please stop taking two steps forward and three steps back. If Rick Perry were to make this campaign about inappropriate relationships with lobbyists we would lose in a heartbeat.
Please focus.
Every candidate has a lobbyist fundraiser at some point. Rick has had them before. Bill White had a lobbyist fundraiser in DC. Rick isn't attacking Bill White for lobbyist connections. Bill White is attacking Rick. See how that doesn't work for Bill White?
