"Texans for Truth"

Here.

Texans for Truth is an arm of DriveDemocracy, an Austin-based organization that got its initial funding from the liberal group MoveOn.org. Affiliates of MoveOn.org — MoveOn PAC and MoveOn Voter Fund — have spent about $7 million since March 1 on anti-Bush TV ads.

DriveDemocracy is run by Glenn Smith, who managed the unsuccessful 2002 Texas gubernatorial campaign of Democrat Tony Sanchez. Smith is a former managing director at the consulting firm Public Strategies. That firm employs former Texas governor Ann Richards, a Democrat whom Bush beat in 1994. Mark McKinnon, the Bush-Cheney campaign's ad czar, is on leave from the same firm.


Gee, think the Usual Gang of Idiots will mention any "connections" with this outfit and the Democratic Party?

The website here was created a week ago, by the renowned Texas Democratic internet consultant Nathan Wilcox, at almost the exact time Susan Estrich was suggesting such groups.

Their first ad is one person (1) who does not remember seeing Bush in Alabama. John Calhoun remembered seeing him there. Just as an aside, the Left called all sixty Swift Boat Veterans liars.
