The best way to get a handle on where Rick Perry's real political heart lies is to look at his list of $100,000-plus donors (courtesy of the Texas Ethics Commission, collated by the liberal group Texans for Public Justice). These are the footprints of crony capitalism, also known as corporatism. No comment on the following list is needed; just peruse it and see what impression it leaves you with.
