That is true but you don't see many from Austin moving to the Socialist Republic of California, wonder why?
So you admit that a Governor can be committing a crime by vetoing a bill.
Now you know why Perry has been indicted.

I live in Williamson county and here's one of the reasons why. Robber baron Leftist elitist like this.
Gov. Rick Perry indicted for abuse of power for carrying out threat to veto prosecutors' funds
All I can say is HOLY CRAP. This is going to be a political crapstorm.
Article is here.
Results matter compared to feelings. The results of TX are exceptional and don't support your claims. You seem to like the progressive ideology so much why stay in TX, move to California. Have you paid any attention to what the Progressives have done to that state?
Can a Governor veto a bill so he can receive a bribe?
It's a yes or no question

The Left turned that into a hellish place to do business and live. Austin is right on it's tracks... one of the most expensive over-taxed cities in the country.
It's fixing to move to a single member districts which might cull a lot of the Progressive influence that controls it now. So there's some hope.
Again, I'm not aware of any bribe.
Bit of a stretch. There is no bribe involved here for one thing. Second, even if there were he would not be guilty of taking a bribe until he took a bribe. The act of vetoing a bill which results in personal gain or protection from investigation would counter conflict of interest rules more likely. Not sure that is indictable though.
BTW; I am no fan of Perry
Never said Perry took a bribe
I clearly posted the crimes Perry is accused of committing and posted a link to the legal code which defined the crimes. It shows that vetoing a bill for for protection from investigation is not only a crime; it is a felony for which he can receive a sentence of up to 99 years in jail
There are many ways to rid oneself of vermin. If one way doesn't work there is another way available. Regardless, I am glad that Delay is no longer in politics.
Same old lies, same old bs from you. You have no idea what you are talking about and buy the leftwing spin. California leads the nation in minimum wage jobs, leads the nation in poverty, and leads the nation in the number of people getting taxpayer assistance. You must be so proud.
TX has no state income taxes, has a low cost of living, is at the top in job creation, has 52 Fortune 500 companies and that simply drives you crazy. All those people and businesses moving to TX so they can make low wages, have no insurance, and living in poverty. That is liberal logic
Saying the same lies over and over again don't make those lies true. TX does not lead the nation in the number of people making minimum wage, they have the most in the nation, 500,000 out of a 13 million labor force making the FEDERAL MINIMUM Wage, California has the most people making a minimum wage, three times the number in TX. Suggest you learn how to do research. California minimum wage up to July 1 was $8 an hour. How was it living in California living on $8 an hour?
Wrong.
Because he's Rick Perry. Never liked the guy.
In any case, the court will decide this case not you or I.
I'll be mighty happy if they put him under the jail.

1. California also leads the nation in people.
2. ORLY
List of U.S. states by poverty rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
California is 35th among states in poverty rate. Texas is 46th. Using raw numbers rather than the rate here is particularly dishonest.
3. California also leads the nation in people.
4. Yep, Texas has 52 Fortune 500 companies. California has 54. New York has 52, same as Texas.

5. According to these BLS statistics from this year, Texas has ~223K making minimum wage, or about half the number you state are in California, despite having about 70% of the population. So it's not nearly the disparity you're making it out to be.
Minimum Wage Workers in Texas - 2012
You guys can have your Texas vs. California pissing match all you want, but using raw numbers rather than rates to describe how conditions are so great in Texas and so awful in California regarding poverty is ludicrously dishonest.
I don't know Perry but there isn't a video out with him stumbling around acting like a bafoon for me to watch.
You didn't watch the 2008 Republican presidential primary debates, did you? Rick Perry himself admitted to being hopped up on pills. Should someone of higher power have used their position to force Perry out of the Texas Governor's office?

Whatever happened to right and wrong? I don't care what their party is, if they break the law or abuse their position they need to go to jail. I watched the videos of Lehmberg and she was way wrong. There is no way she should be a District Attorney. She said she is sorry and I agree with her. She sure is sorry. She is a sorry excuse for a public servant.
I don't know Perry but there isn't a video out with him stumbling around acting like a bafoon for me to watch. I am not real impressed with what I have seen of him.
My prediction:
Perry will not be found guilty of anything.
It will not hurt him politically because of the video of Lehmberg's arrest. A lot of people will look at the video and think he did the right thing, trying to remove her from office.
Lehmberg will not run again for office. If she does then she will not be reelected.
This whole thing may very well backfire on her. It draws people to watch the video of her arrest. People associate behavior with videos more than they do with something in print or text.
WHish ever way this goes it will be interesting to watch.
That was 2012. Perry didn't run in 2008.
nota bene said:Hopped up on pills? You mean that he was taking non-prescription meds for a non-medical reason? I asked because this is what your choice of phrase suggests.
