I take nothing you say seriously.
What people will remember is the drunk videos of the prosecutor.

BTW my ref to your comment, JRandom, was to cite it as evidence for the zot. It was not critical of you.
I wasn’t a fan of Perry for several reasons, historically he was kind of a squish on things I care about.
But on this he has my support 100%. The criminalization of politics is itself a gross abuse of power, it is the stuff of corrupt totalitarians. This is the kind of thing that destroys rule of law, and leaves a banana republic in its wake.
The writer admits Perry had the right to do what he did. Everything he wrote after that is word-fog. If they can take down Perry with something so transparent, then they can take down anyone they choose.
Wow. If the reaction in this thread is any indication, the Travis Co. DA has given Perry an unfathomable gift. Any comment negative of Perry is now circle the wagons zotworthy on FR?
Just wow. What a difference from last time around. It must be nice to get a pass on some real concerns about your credentials because of trumped up charges that won’t go anywhere.
I had already decided to lay off Perry this time around. He’s better than Jeb or Crispy will be, even as I’d prefer Cruz or Palin. My guess is that Perry needs to walk back his “heartless” comment more than “oops”, and I suspect he will.
But still. If you disagree about Perry, you deserve the Zot? Really? How far we’ve come if the machinations of Austin commies send us thumb-sucking to rally round the flag. We, of all people, should be above being so easily manipulated.
You’re wrong about Jo Ann Fleming. I’ve worked with her in the past. She may have been tone deaf in this article, but she is a tireless backer of conservative causes in Texas. I mean conservative as defined by the likes of people on websites like FR. Part of the problem in Texas politics has been the mountain of money vested in the triumvarate of Perry, Dewhurst, and Straus. Dewhurst is gone, Abbot will inherit Perry’s place, and the proper next point of attack is Straus. There is good reason for conservatives to be wary of the money game that has iced them out and kept Democrat chairs in power in a government composed of 2/3rds Republicans.
Jo Ann Fleming works around the clock to de-throne Straus. Calling her names based on her looks is truly classless. Yes. Do look her up online. See how she traveled the state with Ted Cruz, working full time to get him elected. See how she went to dozens of local campaign forums to push candidates to the State House that wouldn’t be under Straus’ thumb.
