Potential ‘16 rivals defend Rick Perry
Politico ^ | 8/16/2014 | Burgess Everett

Posted on 08/16/2014 11:13:02 PM PDT by DRey

Rick Perry’s potential 2016 GOP rivals on Saturday rushed to the Texas governor’s defense in the wake of his indictment on allegations of abusing his office.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush all came out in strong defense of Perry, who on Saturday said he would fight the “farce” indictment.

Cruz, who previously served as a top lawyer for the Lone Star state, blasted the prosecution as “politically motivated” and lit into what he deemed as the “sad history” of the prosecutors, a reference to previous legal efforts aimed at Texas Republicans.

Thanks! :-)

When asked about my tagline the Perry faithful never fail to amuse. Some say context matters. As if there was any context wherein praising the beast for her horrendous performance at State would be acceptable. But what are they going to say when faced with the fact that their halfwit governor lacks the ability to prevent putting his foot in his mouth. The man is a dumbass.

Been following the thread of posts/ripostes on this one. Good to see another idiot like me trying to spread some commonssense and being undeterred by those who are just as blindered as those they claim to despise. Stay strong.

I for one, have been one of the loudest Freeper critic of this indictment, and I am a Cruz supporter. As a Texan , the Earleistic tactics from the Travis County DA's office have gone on long enough. Tom Delay was one of the greatest conservatives of the past 25 years, and they ruined his political career by this same approach. He has just recently been able to clear appeals.

I have asked that all Texas Freepers contact their state senator and representative to initiate legislation to remove prosecutory powers of this nature from the Travis County DA's office and move them to the Texas AG, where it belongs. Enough is Enough!!!!!!

Even the local dims think this was a bad idea for the Travis County Dumb Ass to do this so close to the election. windy davis is already over 15% behind in the polls and this will add to Greg Abbot’s lead.

This is nothing but political payback from the DA’s office because Perry was doing HIS job. I hope the State office holders do their job and remove the public integrity unit from the DA’s office and give it to the State AG office.

Bingo. Austin libtards just handed Abbot a landslide win for the governership, not that he had any real competition against Abortion Barbie anyway.

Do you sport a bumper sticker that says:

I HATE RICK PERRY

or wear a button that says the same?


You don’t even have your state flag on your homepage, but comment on every Rick Perry thread. It’s goo’na keel ya some day.

Yup. The KXAN newsman who reported this on Friday (one of holder’s people) may have had an orgasm by the end of the story. He was just about peeing on himself doing the report.

Where was the grand jury when that judge was misbehaving?

So Cruz leads and the others follow if they feel it is safe to do so.

This is already majorly backfiring on the Dmes. Perry is going to come out of this smelling like a rose. I look for the charges to be quietly dropped very soon.
