a crawl of the
Williamson County GOP website picked up a few interesting links yesterday.
apologies! been trying to post to Propagannon for half an hour, gotta sleep. links here may refer to PG site, will fix later
one was a link to TX Repub political director, Royal Masset's website that's plastered with GOPUSA links. this is including one that serves as the homepage navigational menu link to Republican Candidates and Organizations
GOPUSA-plastering is no surprise since Bobby Eberle and Bill Fairbrother designed the site as lauded by Masset on November 15, 1999:
Special thanks must be given to my web designers at GOPUSA.com, Bobby Eberle and Bill Fairbrother. They are statewide leaders in the Republican Party of Texas. They may make a little money designing web sites and Internet brochures. But like me and you they are primarily here for the cause...
creve coeur and Tbob have discussed this previously.
but it's the second link that's much more important, i think!
Update [2005-3-16 12:52:8 by luaptifer]:: documenting links, addtional info.
Senate District 5 seems to be composed of 14 counties according to the
http://sd5.org site put together by Bill Fairbrother. apparently it was of enough significance that he thought it, too, should bear the
Texas GOPUSA logo under the
navigation links of the site menu where those 14 counties are linked. if you've clicked that link consider that under intended circumstances, it would stand as one of the two frames that make up the sd5.org homepage.
in fact, the frame design and layout are similar to that of the Williamson County Republican Party site
as it stands, the main page currently details an upcoming meeting of the Senate District 5 Republican Party Leadership:

the significance of this site put together by Bill Fairbrother is that it was established in June 2002 by Milton Rister who listed himself as the registrant, the adminstrative and technical contact!

Who the heck is Milton Rister?!
in the heart of the BU$H dynasty, a steering role in right-wing politics means he's IMPORTANT!!:
"Texas GOP names new director": The Austin American-Statesman reports here that:
The Republican Party of Texas has a new executive director, party chairwoman Tina Benkiser said Thursday.
Milton Rister, research director for Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, has been appointed to the post.
Rister's previous jobs have included political director of the Republican Party of Texas, executive director of the House Republican Caucus, chief of staff to Republican Sen. Jane Nelson of Lewisville, and adviser to hundreds of Republican campaigns, the party said.
he's currently listed as the Director of Research for the Lt. Governor of Texas, and it was word as a researcher that put him in line for a subpoena while Texas searched for Tom Delay's missing ethics. should a researcher who missed that ethical black-hole really be director of research for the State of Texas?!
it seems appropriate if you don't want to find black-holes, huh?!
as i said, Rister's important, enough to receive a vist at home from the Governor of Texas
...just think about it being Gov. Bu$h rather than Perry sitting on your couch beside the kid wearing a
Future Republican President t-shirt
maybe that's what Nancy, his wife and the Williamson County Clerk was thinking when she included it as a personal document on her campaign website.
interestingly, that site was designed by aceresearch which is a name similar to that registered by Milton (see Whois results, above) for the GOPUSA-branded website of Fairbrother's SD5. but i don't think Milton's been to Ace Research recently since a mad_skater?! has done a little hackjob on it!
more on the TRM investigation in which Rister got his subpoenas here and there.
some kind of GOPUSA/Gannon link to the executive level of Texas State government seems inevitable if you've examined the massive amount of leg and webwork done by folks here and at Propagannon. i don't know how significant this little piece will prove but the few comments, below, indicate tthat there's some weight to Rister's social network.
