You having a fantasy?
It might be a little worrisome for Perry that there is precedent for this type of charge. After reading the article I just can't understand how what he did was wrong, it seems all the shenanigans were going on in the "integrity unit" not in Perry's office, he simply used his legal authority to do what is right. Dems shouldn't stand against him on this one, unless they are just hacks that do not care about right and wrong.
I know, damn us right wingers for presuming someone innocent pre trial. You've altered my view point, totally though. Perry's guilty. So when should we hang him? Tonight? After the weekend? Do have a length of rope handy because I don't.
BTW, Nim, sarcasm aside, I'm sure you're correct . This thread will divide pretty much right down the ideological line.
As for your "absurd comment" slam, no need for any more of your absurd comments back to me since you started .What an absurd comment.
No right wingers are excusing thug Brown's actions.
The adult smeared himself by his own actions.Or as long as it takes to smear the Missouri teen .
:dohI think ALL of America has seen the distrurbance images of who the "REAL" thugs are.
Texas is ground zero for the Democrats. There is a massive movement to get those electoral votes and the means by which they are obtained isn't important.
Seriously ? Indicted for doing something that he had the authority to do ?
Texas' Perry indicted for coercion for veto threatCan someone from Texas tell me if this was in the news or in the political current? It seems to have come out of nowhere this is the first I've heard of it.
No. He was indicted because if Lemburg resigned or got booted he'd get to appoint the DA and Travis County wasn't going to have any of that!! This is pure, unadulterated political gamesmanship.

The indictment is Political gamesmanship.
He said he would do something that he had the legal authority to do before he did it.
Thats the basis of the indictment.
Good luck with that. Personally I dont think he has anything to worry about.
You know if found guilty this opens a whole new can of worms. Any veto or even a veto threat from a governor or even the president over financial legislation like the budget if the governor is found guilty means any governor or even the president becomes a rubber stamp.
I can see it now, some little department head telling the government, give my department an extra 100 million or we will take you to court for abuse of official power and coercion. What is this country coming to?

LOL.And a prosecutor can get a GJ to indict a ham sandwich is a common saying for a reason.
It's quite possible that Lehmberg could be worthless and the charges against Perry be valid.POLITICAL ... resigned
There were these Texan who would indict a ham sandwich who decided that it was fine by them that Lehmberg remain in office.It's fascinating that an ethics complaint was filed against a guy who followed the law while the bitch that got wasted, got busted driving drunk and abused her authority is, apparently, fine and dandy with the Democrats. I mean, I could see that in Massachusetts Democrats but I'm kind of surprised to see it in Texas.
