AUSTIN Gov. Rick Perry was indicted on two felony counts for abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant late Friday by a Travis County grand jury.
The case stems from Perrys vetoing the $7.5 million biennial funding for the Travis County Public Integrity Unit last year. He threatened to withhold the money unless District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg resigned.
In announcing the indictment, special prosecutor Michael McCrum of San Antonio said he felt confident of the charges brought against the governor and was ready to go forward.

The marxists favorite campaign tactic. Remove the competition from the campaign by lodging phony scandals or legal complaints against their foes.
They can't win on the facts, their platform, or their results so they have to try to diminish their adversaries.
DeLay, Palin, and hundreds more have been ambushed by local Marxist operatives who then fade into the woodwork after the damage has been done.

Strong arm politics, aka the Chicago Way is acceptable for Democrats to use, but a felony for Republicans to attempt.

Yeah, like 1000 cases of treason.
Treason - Perfectly acceptable.
Governor vetoes a bill? OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

It would appear there are more of them than us.
But with God on our side, there are really more of us than them. We WILL prevail, either sooner or later - but we WILL prevail.
