Perry ought to be impeached alone over the Trans-Texas Corridor abomination.

DAVE McNEELY is a former political columnist for the Austin American-Statesman.

The last line says it all. The "Anti-American Statesman" is generally a Democrat Party mouthpiece and McNeely was its chief political writer.

There's a difference between impeachment and recall. Impeachment implies official misconduct. Recall simply means popular dissatisfaction.

Unless you can make an actual case for official misconduct, I think impeachment goes nowhere - particularly if one or both chambers are also run by Republicans who would make up the "jury".

39%? That's just pathetic, especially in Texas.

Perry latest campaign was based on tougher immigration laws. Days after he won the cameras were removed and explained fences are good for ladder makers. Just recently Perry traveled to Mexico spewing his love of immigration.

So should Bush.

Well, if Dick loves immigration so much, perhaps he should move to Mejico.

It was a 4-way race. 2 RINOs (Dick and Ma Strayhorn), a rodent (Bell), and a Libertoonian (Kinky Friedman).

I’d go for impeachment in a flash over the toll roads alone. It’s like my native Texas has become a third world country that’s too poor to keep up it’s infrastructure. Imagine where this country would be if the interstate highway system had been built as toll roads. Oh wait, they’re planning to give some of those away as well.

Of course they’d love to have you get one of their tracking tags in your car so they can keep up with your movements. Maybe their computers will detect changes in your routine and give them probable cause for a traffic stop.

Politicians always like to name stuff after themselves. I’d like to see these toll roads named after each and every one of the culprits before the next election. A big sign with their name posted in front of every frickin toll booth.

And I haven’t even gotten to the Trans-Texas Corridor yet. sheesh.

I save the rino label for those who truly deserve it, like a few certain senators(and presidential candidates.) How bad was Strayhorn?

Ma was the “Republican” version of Richards. An egomanaic who was determined to run for Governor, but refused to do it as a Republican, and openly courted rodents to install her. The worst kind of treacherous RINO.

"Anti-American Statesman"

In our household it's referred to as the "Altered Statesman".

Bunch of freaking loons.

You're right, this goes nowhere.

Just because the McNeely and The Statesman said something doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I see a Bi-Partisan disgust with his policies.

Look at their top 10 reasons to impeach and tell me you can’t support at least 5. Get rid of him and we can fight over his successor later.

The HPV vaccine by the 6th grade and his Pharmaceuticals ties should be enough by itself.

If Perry took any bribes, DOJ will get him before impeachment does.

There were four major candidates last year: Perry, Chris Bell (D), Carole Strayhorn and Kinky Friedman (both Indies).
