Don't forget the TEF and ETF AND the HPV mandate AND the Trans-Texas Corridor AND .......

[GeronL]

What a bunch of morons.

When have Republicans not been critical of their leaders? It is the Democrats who march their jackboots in lock-step and salute the leader as they cross the viewing platform.

[JRandomFreeper]

You have a history posting under a different screen name earlier when your dad was running for governor of Texas.

I take nothing you say seriously.

What people will remember is the drunk videos of the prosecutor.

I have no future political use for Perry, but he's got 100% of my support against the drunken liberals in Austin.

This is going to backfire on the dems.

I can't understand what the writer's point is.

And I cannot take anyone seriously who criticizes anyone who they think 'exceeded their authority' without first having flogged the living hell out of Barack Obama's non-stop abuse of his authority at the executive level, which of course affects far more of us far, far more profoundly than would anything a governor did to some local DA.

They shouldn't be taken seriously.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The only requirement he made is that the disgraced DA resign her post as head of ethics investigations.

What's not to like?

[Ronin]

Interesting.

“Questions about motive are now being raised – questions about why Perry may have wanted a chance to appoint the Travis County DA’s replacement.”

The DA is a Travis County elected official, Gov. Perry wouldn’t be able to appoint a replacement .... what a douche.

[JRandomFreeper]

I encourage everyone to search on "JoAnn Fleming, Texas" to see what a piece of work she really is.

And ugly like she fell out of the tree, and hit every branch on the way down.

Research the author of this hit piece.

If you want to defend a state public-integrity unit being overseen by an alcoholic county DA who gets caught driving drunk with a .23, with a handle of vodka on the passenger seat, who fights with the jail deputies, threatens their careers, tells them to call their boss, gets herself put in restraints and a spit mask, and the arraigning judge refuses to hear her case until she cools off...go ahead. I’ll just note that you have a different notion of “public integrity” than I do.

[denydenydeny]

To say nothing of the jury-selection shenanigans that led to a Democrat State Convention delegate getting to vote on the Perry indictment.

[JRandomFreeper]

"Questions about motive are now being raised "

Passive voice. That's always a give away. Raised by whom?

The nasty author of the hit piece?

[eyeamok]

It is writers like this that makes me want to BAN WOMEN FROM VOTING again.

[Dr. Sivana]

The criminal justice process will now proceed to determine whether Gov. Perry’s public calls for DA Rosemary Lehmberg to resign and his subsequent threats to cut funding to the office if she didn’t constituted a quid pro quo condition that perhaps crossed the line into abuse of office.

ALL political compromise, including between the executive and legislative branches is "quid pro quo". The only time this would come into play is if Perry said he would veto the bill unless he found $80,000 in cash in his freezer, or something like that.

Obama exceeds this threshold on multiple occasions with his threats to issue executive orders because Congress won't always give him his way.

[digger48]

EEeeesh!!!....she looks like she could be Lehmbergs sister

[JRandomFreeper]

I didn't lie about ugly.

And apparently nasty, too.
