Perry Has Received More Money Than He Admits From Merck

[mrjarrell]

At the debates he said he got $5K. Looks like he was fudging that number a bit. He's shaken them down for over $400K, over the years, (although not all of it went to his coffers). No wonder he wanted to promotes Merck's drugs in Texas.

Just the tip of the iceberg. Surely you can do better than this. Dig a little deeper. My understanding the final number is going to be closer to $50M

Wouldn't surprise me, in the least. No doubt more will be forthcoming on this guy.

If $5,000 isn’t enough, how much does it cost to buy Rick Perry? | Notes and Rests Make Music

And wait some more! Merck’s lobbyist on the vaccine issue was Mike Toomey, Perry’s former chief of staff. Toomey recently co-founded a super PAC that plans to raise over $50 million for Perry’s campaign.

I understand there is probably nothing unusual about stuff like this, but it still smells.

I don't think anyone in their right mind can justify vaccinating 10 and 11 year old girls against STD's in order attend a public school.

I think GREED can easily explain it.

He's the best candidate that money can buy. He will sell the United States out to the New World Order in a heartbeat.

Funny how sellouts like him get a pass, and Ron Paul is the one who supposedly "Hates America First."

I had to laugh when he said that he couldn't be bought for a mere $5,000. He was insulted that the figure was so low. LOL
