The ruination of Texas coincided with the arrival of Karl Rove. He was rick perry's campaign manager when he ran a smear campaign against Jim Hightower of Populist fame some years ago. Texas has always been kind hearted, friendly, integrated, very laid back, a champion of personal privacy. Rove and the Bushes reconstructed the basis of power to reflect the interest and profits of friends' corporations and began the eradication of laws that protect our safety, health, and personal freedoms.

Perry was not rich he is now a multimillionaire. His entire governorship has to do with redistributing grant money, overtly creating organizations to collect money e.g. CPRIT and redistribute to already rich friends. The people who administrate these organizations again redistribute the money including huge donations to the Fascist Right Wing, Perry's friends, our enemies.

So about 6 months ago it began falling apart, the administrator for the Cancer Fund was about to be indicted and since has been, and will most likely be an easy conviction as the case is so clear. The line then goes straight to Perry.

The reason, I suspect, that Wendy Davis has not yet spent much of her limited dollars on her campaign to take back a friendly laid back state up to now, is that we all have known this is coming down, and the Fascist Right Wing are hanging themselves with no assistance except for the old style Republican prosecutor who also sees with clarity, reality.
