Trial lawyers tied to Perry donation
Strayhorn camp accuses governor of being hypocrite
Associated Press

AUSTIN - Republican Gov. Rick Perry received $35,000 last year from a lobbying group that got money from plaintiffs' attorneys, even though his campaign has denounced Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn for her money from trial lawyers.

Personal-injury attorneys traditionally have been a big funding source for Democrats and a target of Republicans who side with businesses looking to limit lawsuits.

Strayhorn's acceptance of trial-lawyer money is expected to be a Perry campaign theme as he and Strayhorn face each other in the March 2006 Republican primary.

A Perry spokesman accused Strayhorn last month of "selling her soul" by accepting donations from trial lawyers.

1. What do you expect? I am suprised this got into an MSM source

Lets see the RW radio nuts spin this one. Who am I kidding? "It came from the LIBRUL media!" It is such an easy life being a RWer. Anything you don't like or you get caught in, just blame it on someone or something else. Like Libruls.
