Perrybunkport - Perry's former COS hiding out in New Hampshire, avoiding subpoena service

[texastoast]

That’s right. Mike Toomey owns an island. Being Rick Perry’s former Chief of Staff and close political confidant is apparently quite lucrative. What’s more, Toomey owns the island – which is located on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire – jointly with top Perry political strategist, Dave Carney. (Source: New Hampshire Secretary of State)

Efforts have been underway this week to serve Toomey with a Court-issued subpoena demanding that he appear for questioning under oath. Toomey is subject to questioning after a witness testified under oath that he played a key role in the Rick Perry/Green Party ballot scandal. So far, Toomey has dodged the subpoena.

Toomey beating the heat and the “Heat”
The New Hampshire shoreline is not only a good place to escape the 100-degree Texas weather; it’s also a good place to avoid Travis County Sheriff’s Deputies with subpoenas. The Lone Star Project has learned that Toomey has so-far ducked the process server by fleeing to the New Hampshire shores and staying at his luxury island hideaway. Of course, when Toomey returns to "mainland" Austin, the subpoena will be waiting.

1. How convenient

Both men accused of being involved in the ballot funding scam and both coincidentally co-own an island where they can escape the long arm of the law.

No Perry and his minions had nothing to do with the illegal funding. :grr:

And Perry goes on record to say he knows nothing. Of course I doubt he would swear that under oath.

Perry denies knowing about effort for Green Party

SAN MARCOS - GOP Gov. Rick Perry, asked today at what point he learned about the efforts of some Republicans to get the Green Party on the ballot, said: "I have no knowledge of that at all."

Perry’s comments to reporters came after he spoke to members of the Texas Farm Bureau. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill White also spoke to the group.

A former University of Texas student said in a court hearing last month that Mike Toomey, a former chief of staff for Perry, personally paid him to try to gather signatures for the Green Party. The petition effort was ultimately unsuccessful.

Perry conveniently forgets lots of things. :mad:

2. No candidate's an island: But Perry allies in Green Party case own one

No candidate's an island: But Perry allies in Green Party case own one

Democratic lawyers are trying to serve former Rick Perry chief of staff Mike Toomey with a subpoena to find out what he knows about the Green Party petition case. Word is that Toomey is on vacation. He owns a resort island with the governor's chief political strategist Dave Carney -- both of whom have been linked to GOP efforts to put the Green Party on the Texas ballot in November. Democrats say the Green Party petition effort was designed to help Perry because the liberal Green candidates for governor might draw votes from Democrat Bill White. Perry said yesterday he didn't know anything about it. The Democratic Lone Star Project blew the whistle today on the island partnership between Toomey and Carney.

Meanwhile, the Texas Supreme Court today accepted the Democratic Party's motion to move the case back to district court. That means the Green Party candidates will be on the fall ballot. But it also means the Democrats will continue their legal challenge to the use of corporate money for a political petition drive and its effort to find out who bankrolled the whole thing. Meanwhile, the Lone Star Project's Matt Angle says the process server will be waiting when Toomey returns to Texas. For the record, Toomey & family have been vacationing at Santa Rosa Beach in Florida, not the resort island on Lake Winnipesaukee he owns with Carney. Interestingly, that's just up the Gulf Coast eight miles from Rosemary Beach, where GOP luminary Karl Rove bought a home. Just saying ...

So that piece of crap Rove bought a home in Florida! I hope that oil turd stays out of Texas permanently!

3. Begone nasty carpetbaggers

George Bush The Elder and Junior
Karl Rove

come to mind.


And I'd like to get rid of a slew of native-born Texans as well. The ones who are completely heartless and soulless. And there is a long list of them, starting with:
