Interesting that rep. delisi is retiring at the end of the year and she's spent years passing rick perry's lege agenda no holds bar, and what greater favor can you do a rich, powerful political family than an appointment? she stayed squeaky clean through the hole trmpac scandal, even when her son was in bed with karl rove. who knows what she's getting away with as we speak. that whole family has been buttering their bread on both sides for 10 years:<BR/><BR/>http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/5/2/10177/11404<BR/>http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid%3A74564<BR/>http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Delisi_Communications<BR/>http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Ted_Delisi<BR/><BR/>someday I hope enough people will get so tired of politicos making money in politics at the expense of the liberty of their constituents that they'll do something about it, like start shooting, for example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974737.post-75460967223300945142008-05-07T21:34:00.000-05:002008-05-07T21:34:00.000-05:00What's Kirk's payoff to drop his opposition?

Answer: He gets his money from TXDOT (for the 5 new Toll Roads in Austin) that was yanked out from under him a month after he voted YES to the Phase II TIP. He was seriously pissed about TXDOT saying it had no money back in November after he put his political ass on the line for his special interest, big-money, Take On Traffic pals. Now I'm sure 'ol Deidre Delisi promised him the cash so he'd give her the go ahead...after all, doesn't he really want the same things as Rick Perry? Kirk Watson = Republican in a Democratic disguise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974737.post-63056066913928708002008-05-07T03:17:00.000-05:002008-05-07T03:17:00.000-05:00"Perry's Pick To Run TxDOT Has NO Transportation E..."Perry's Pick To Run TxDOT Has NO Transportation Experience!"<BR/><BR/>This is not true.
