Rick Perry Stops Paying South Carolina Staff

Source: National Journal

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry's campaign team in South Carolina is no longer being paid by his presidential campaign, National Journal has learned.

"Pay is only one reason people do this," Katon Dawson, Perry's South Carolina state director, said in an interview. "We'll be able to live off the land for a while."

It is not clear if or when paychecks will start backing up for Perry's team in South Carolina. Dawson said that Perry staffers in the state "have been paid up to two weeks ago."

Dawson said core members of Team Perry, including himself, will continue to work, even if unpaid. He said Walter Whetsell and Le Frye, two top Perry operatives in the state, are among those still working.

Nothing surprises me with this group of Repugs. Donald Trump is still leading in their polls. That is even more surprising, isn't it?

really---------------------- then you and this right wing Goldwaterite believer, can be just like the 4 million human beings your party faithful of hypocrisy has denied unemployment benefits for.
Now you can go stand on the corner with a cardboard sign saying "will work for food" and homeless


One of the two Texas clowns of many is losing cash to operate under and will be kicked from the clown car

It seems that the Republican clusterf**k is just throwing anything they have at a blank wall hoping that something will stick. So far, people like Perry, Santorum, and Graham seem to be sliding towards the floor leaving long greasy skid marks on an otherwise clean surface although Santorum's slide seems to have picked a little steam from some unknown substance. Hum?
