(Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry, a possible Republican presidential candidate in the 2016 race, was fingerprinted and had his mug shot taken by judicial authorities on Tuesday after being indicted last week on two felony charges of abusing power.

ROFLMAO... Perry himself tried to achieve at the governor's office (via veto) what could not be achieved at the ballot box (Lehmberg's removal). This guy is as clueless as they come."[...] This indictment is fundamentally a political act that seeks to achieve at the courthouse what could not be achieved at the ballot box," Perry said after finishing the 15-minute processing at the Travis County criminal justice center, a short walk away from the governor's mansion.
It probably just got real for Perry:

Texas experienced stronger job
growth than the rest of the nation in all
four wage quartiles from 2000 to 2013,
even in the middle two wage quartiles,
where growth in the rest of the nation
was negative and zero, respectively
(Chart 1).6
In Texas, the two upper wage
quartiles grew at 28 and 36 percent,
Sheesh you're stubborn.You believe an indictment is a conviction and of course it isn't.
LOL.Yes, I read the indictment and stand by my statement, with no harm done there is no case
Simon has stated that the facts are in the indictment and that isn't true at all, the facts will come out in trial, the indictment lists the charges. Why are you trolling?
It's not a lie if you don't know that what you're saying is false.Why are you deliberately lying about what Simon has stated?
I don't recall making that statement.Simon has stated that the facts are in the indictment and that isn't true at all, the facts will come out in trial, the indictment lists the charges. Why are you trolling?
Sheesh you're stubborn.
You really don't have a clue about what I think.
I certainly don't think the drivel you're attributing to me.
LOL.
Count I says "with intent to harm."
Intent to harm is not harm.
Look, you seem to be having a really hard time with this.
Don't feel bad, you're not alone.
Let me demonstrate how it's done. I'll do Count I. You read that and try your hand at count II.
The indictment of Perry won't stand because...
As to Count I
On or about June 14, 2013, in the County of Travis, Texas, James Richard "Rick" Perry, with intent to harm another, to-wit, Rosemary Lehmberg and the Public Integrity Unit of the Travis County District Attorney's Office, intentionally or knowingly misused government property by dealing with such property contrary to an agreement under which defendant held such property or contrary to the oath of office he took as a public servant, such government property being monies having a value of in excess of $200,000 which were approved and authorized by the Legislature of the State of Texas to fund the continued operation of the Public Integrity Unit of the Travis County District Attorney's Office, and which had come into defendant's custody or possession by virtue of the defendant's office as a public servant, namely, Governor of the State of Texas.

Perry did not perform acts which comport to the specifics contained in the law.
To wit
Before the governor signs legislation, it is not a law.
Any legislation which provided monies for the continued operation of the Public Integrity Unit is not a law until it is signed off on by the governor.
This legislation was never signed by the governor.
Therefore the legislation never became law.
Funding, monies, contained in bills are not real. Funding does not come into being until the legislation becomes a law.
This legislation never became a law.
Therefore the monies never actually existed.
It is impossible to misuse property which does not exist.
Therefore, not only is there reasonable doubt that Perry is guilty of this charge, it is literally impossible for him to be guilty of this charge.
See?
Give it go with Count II.
In a nicer way I have trying to encourage you to follow that advice your own self.Then stop making dumbass statements...
I still don't recall saying that.you claimed that the facts are in the indictment...
I wonder how many times democrats in TX have to try and criminalize opposing political ideology and lose embarrassingly before they realize it is a losing strategy?
Accuracy is not necessarily a component of deflectionI don't recall making that statement.
Well, Ronnie Earle destroyed Tom Delay's career and reputation. The man spent three years in prison before being acquitted. I think Travis County Dems might call this a "win." And if this partisan ploy succeeds and derails Rick Perry's ambitions (when, really, he's capable of doing this all by himself), they'll also call this a "win" too.
What would be funny is if this backfires.
I'd ask you to consider the possibility that you are widely and wildly mistaken in your assessments of other people and their motivations.This might be one of the most political offices in the country which just confirms what I have said all along, liberals have to spread their misery equally to everyone. They just cannot be happy with the economic successes in TX, the massive population growth, the Fortune 500 companies moving here, all the jobs being created, low cost of living. Makes you wonder why ideology trumps actual economic results so they have to destroy the individuals
He may have just confused me with someone else.Accuracy is not necessarily a component of deflection
I'd ask you to consider the possibility that you are widely and wildly mistaken in your assessments of other people and their motivations.
He may have just confused me with someone else.
That kind of thing happens all the time.
I have trouble keeping posters apart sometimes.
It'd be a sign of class if he acknowledged that was mistaken about what he thinks I said and about what he thinks I think.
Mmm, no. He remained free on bond during his appeal.Well, Ronnie Earle destroyed Tom Delay's career and reputation. The man spent three years in prison before being acquitted. [...]
I don't know it. But it didn't hurt to ask.How do you know I haven't considered it.
Maybe so. But your assessments about me have been off by orders of magnitude--galaxies away from correct....I am a pretty good judge of people and their actions...
Of course you are not going to. To be expected.I am not going back to review your posts and would suggest you do it.
I'll spoon feed it to you.I am not going back to review your posts and would suggest you do it.
Mmm, no. He remained free on bond during his appeal.
And he was not acquitted, rather his conviction was overturned/reversed on appeal. The State of Texas is appealing that reversal to a higher court, so Delay is not out of the woods yet.
I think all ideologies should be imprisoned so that the humans could think better.Hmmm...Do you believe that non progressive ideologies should be imprisoned?
I think all ideologies should be imprisoned so that the humans could think better.
I think that ideologies tend to be shortcuts for lazy thinking.
I think we'd be better off if we thought about questions rather than accepting ideological answers.
I don't want people imprisoned.But don't for a second think that because you as a person don't agree with someone elses POV that they should be "imprisoned" to spark your version of 'clear thinking'...It is just as lazy as you claim others to be IMHO.
