If only the Republican party played the same kind of hardball.

This world is getting pretty dark when being the most wicked is considered the chief hope.

this is a crackup. Galpal won’t resign over ethics issues and she sues Perry for ethics issues.

This is a rerun of the legal lynching of Tom DeLay. Democrats can always find a Grand Jury of their peers to indict Republicans in Austin. Most cities would be embarrassed that their old lesbian lush District Attorney was picked up driving drunk, served time in jail...and kept her job. But this is Austin that we’re talking about, and they have no shame.

Is this a different County from the one that indicted Tom Delay?

It shows they fear Perry. Plus, you can indict a melon with a grand jury. They’re only shown the prosecutors side.

I like this. It means a Perry/Walker ticket will have two Governors who’ve been abused by Democrat prosecutor’s persecutions. It’s just gravy for the roast in 2016.

He should move quickly for dismissal or a verdict...

Some are taking this seriously but it’s a preposterous one. Seems to me most people will not believe a governor can be properly indicted for exercising or threatening to exercise his legal powers.

Especially when it involved threatening to veto the budget of a fat slob drunk.

That “special prosecutor” must be the devil’s spawn that he could come out with a straight face and pretend this is a serious indictment.

From Hot Air article: “Before you pass judgement on Rick Perry”

This is the dash cam footage from the patrol car that pulled over Travis County D.A., Rosemary Lehmberg for DWI.

This is the result of a liberal drunk wanting revenge for her own misbehavior. When District Attny Rosemary Lehmberg was arrested for DWI and tested THREE TIMES above the legal limit she was convicted, served time and had her license suspended.

Rick Perry called for her resignation and said he would exercise his right to veto funding requests from her if she didn't go. This is payback from a slob of woman and activists who took the charges to a liberal judge.

It is designed to keep the threat of indictment alive long enough to end any serious run against Hillary. It probably won't happen.

Perry said, “Despite the otherwise good work (of) the Public Integrity Unit’s employees, I cannot in good conscience support continued state funding for an office with statewide jurisdiction at a time when the person charged with ultimate responsibility of that unit has lost the public’s confidence.”

For the benefit of non-Texans, they need to know that the Travis County District Attorney has legal jurisdiction over every elected official in the state -- including those elected to federal office.

Travis County is home to the capitol, Austin, and generally populated by moonbats -- government workers, university faculty, techies, artists & musicians & dopers and their hangers-on. It's San Francisco-on-the-Colorado.

As a consequence, they elect far left local politicians -- and their DA happens to exert statewide power. And they have no trouble finding a grand jury that's ready to indict a Republican for chewing gum on the wrong side of his mouth.

Tom Delay was one example. Even the inoffensive Kay Bailey Hutchison was a target of some trumped up charges that were dropped one second after the court was gaveled to order.

Lehmberg's action against Perry is nothing more than partisan harassment designed to complicate his presidential run.

Just a bunch of contrived BS like they did to Tom DeLay. It will come to nothing. That bunch in Austin is pure slime.

I believe in my heart this country has already fallen. I would never in my worst dreams have thought we would elect a Marxist, who is likely a Muslim and almost certainly not who he claims to be.

That such a corrupt official could get by with this garbage only adds to the disease which has gripped America.

Maybe the nation can be saved but I can’t see any way as long as the crooked media control most every form for the dissemination of information.

Perry has Veto power regardless of what the Dems want or say.

There's a large movement by relocated Californians who want Texas to turn Blue.
Yes, they brought their crap here expecting a different result.
