Swiftboat Bob Perry funds racist attack ad!
Empower Texas, a political action committee funded almost exclusively by Bob Perry of Bob Perry homes, and who funded the Swiftboat ads against John Kerry, has sent out a mailer to residents of Pasadena Texas, with what I would consider as bordering on being racist. What idiot would put out something like this. You will notice Redmond is surrounded by choice Democrats, all Black or Hispanic.

1. How, Very Odd
the flyer mentions Redmond making contributions to John Edwards former mistress, but there's no picture of Edwards.

Hmmm.....

3. He's Been Real Quiet This Year
I guess the housing bust musta frozen his deep pockets. Perry was the money man for the slimeboaters in 2004 and had promised to kick in several hundred million this year. And this is all he's come up with?

Look for a lot more of this kind of crap floating around...especially in districts with close races as the mud will really fly. The race card is the only one many of these scumbags have left to hang onto their seats, but it looks like the 527 money is drying up. Such a pity!!
