Governor Rick Perry refused to fund Lehmberg’s office.
So on Friday Democrats decided to make a stand for drunk drivers everywhere and indict Governor Rick Perry.
On Saturday Governor Rick Perry held a press conference. Rick stands by his decision.
Here’s what the governor had to say about the indictment.
“Here’s what I think is really important for the people to understand, not just Texans but this country. And, that is, we have seen an office in the form of the Travis County District Attorney’s office. The lead, legal individual for criminal affairs in this county and overseeing public officials who conducted themselves in an incredibly inappropriate way. Stopped for a DWI with a blood-alcohol level almost three times the legal limit. An individual who when booked in had to be restrained. Was abusive to law enforcement. Was kicking the door. I think Americans and Texans who have seen this agree with me. That that is not an individual who is heading up an office that we can afford to fund. Now the people of Travis County may decide that that is the type of individual that they want in that office. But as the governor of the State of Texas… I made that decision and I said ‘no.’ And given that information and given that choice again, that is exactly what I would do.“
Go, Rick Perry!

Sweet!
Excellent! Make them defend that hideous cow.
The more truth that comes out (those videos are a hoot), the higher his poll numbers go.
I like Rick Perry more & more each day.
Pushing these charges forward may totally backfire on the Democrats in Texas.
He has a strong talking point-—
We cannot afford officials who like to practice—Do as I say—Not as I do.
She can stew over this and then go have a beer, or nine.
They just F’d with the wrong Republican.
They think he’ll just take it like W? They’ve got another thing coming.
Give ‘em Hell, Rick!
***Rick stands by his decision***
As well he should. Don’t ever back down when taking on left - if you are in the right, they will eventually fold.
Anybody know where the probable cause is for the GJ to have indicted him?
Even a drunk district attorney could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.
I don’t know, but Rick’s lawyers are going to have a whale of a time with discovery.
Despite what many here say, sometimes I think Perry is one of the only Americans working to fight the Dems.
This might really backfire on those rabid rats.
She gives a New Definition to UGLY.
It’s irrelevant. While Perry isn’t my first choice for President in 2016, it just knocked him out of the race. We know the indictment is going no where. On a good note, what should happen is Abbott needs to come out and support Perry and force Abortion Barbie to take a position.
If Rick fights it and goes nuclear he could win a lot of new fans. Cruz is defending him (the only Republican who is in his corner).
one of the only ones?
;-)
She’s somethin’ else, isn’t she?
