What about the Super PACs, Rick?

(Gazette Blog editor's note: Now this is the kind of Republican we need more of.) 

Baton Rouge, LA– Governor Charles E. “Buddy” Roemer, a legitimate presidential candidate who the Republican Party finds it convenient to ignore, made the following statement today when asked about Texas Governor Rick Perry exiting the race and endorsing Newt Gingrich:

“I wonder if Newt also gets Perry's seven Super PACs now,” asked Roemer.

“It’s too bad, really. Governor Perry could’ve made a difference like he made in Texas, but he chose not to. Campaign Finance Reform is the key first step to economic and jobs reform and Rick Perry never had a clue. Like all the others, he didn't have experience fighting corruption as Governor and Congressman as I did.”

“You want to find the missing jobs in America? Follow the money to Wall Street and the outsourcing of American manufacturing jobs to China and elsewhere. We need a President who is free to lead, not a fundraiser, and Rick fell victim to the big check and the special interests.”

Governor Buddy Roemer is a four-term Congressman and former Governor of Louisiana. He is known for refusing PAC and special interest money, implementing campaign finance reform, turning around Louisiana’s failing economy and cutting the state’s unemployment rate in half in just four years.
