RICK PERRY Declines to Fund Crazy Violent Drunk – Dems Indict Him For It
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8/16/2014 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/16/2014 12:56:30 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

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!

Will the Austin media (Extremists, radical and in their weaker moments merely progressive) follow Lehmberg around to catch her drinking and/or ranting?

I am sure that was more than a bit tongue in cheek.

Than you had better get better educate on the incident. It was not tongue in cheek. Your hero was asked what he thought about Hillary. He could have said anything but he chose instead to say she was a “very, very capable public servant, great secretary of state, first lady,”

Capable of what?! The woman is arguably the worst SoS this country has ever had. While dumbass Perry didn't have to say that he surely did not have to say she was great. Yet he did. Not even in the most deluded of minds can that be considered "working to fight the dems".

Hillary's disastrous performance as SoS should work to keep her from becoming president. Yet in one comment your liberal hero removed one of the best arguments as to why she does not deserve the position.

A “Special” prosecutor was used Mike McCrum.

She looks like she’s pounded more than a few down over the years.

How would ya like to stop for a few cold ones after work and have to listen to her drunk ass telling the world how republicans are ruining the country?

As usual you focus your comments on me instead of defending your liberal hero’s moronic comments. How predictable.

They’re doing this simply because he’s a conservative and a viable candidate for president in 2016. No other reason.

She said something like, I’m not going to listen to you. I’m the District Attorney!
If I had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit, I would find her rather cute /s;)

“The first count of abuse of official capacity. It basically charges that on the day of the veto in 2013 that Governor Perry intentionally or knowingly misused government property that had come into his custody or control.”

“The veto in question was made in accordance with the veto authority afforded to every governor under the Texas Constitution.,” Perry’s general counsel, Mary Anne Wiley, said in a statement responding to the indictment. “We will continue to aggressively defend the governor’s lawful and constitutional action, and believe we will ultimately prevail.”

Dang man, where’s the controversy? Did Perry have his lawyers with him in the GJ investigation? I guess you have to get into Texas law about what constitutes “abuse of veto power.”

Who is the only one in the country trying to do something about the current border invasion?

Oh I know it falls short, but that is largely due to legal issues.

I don’t see anyone else doing a damn thing!

I have no problem with the non-funding.

The drunk should spend time in jail for abusing police officers doing their assigned tasks.

The drunk should be mustered out of his position, his salary seized to pay for any property damages to the police vehicle,
and his name spread across Texas, as do not hire or elect.

Some piece of work, that one!

"Do You Know Who I Am?"

"I'm The District Attorney!"

This statement is a little weaker than I’d like. Unless ‘prevail’ means ‘burn out the entire Public Integrity Unit like the rats nest it is’.

The woman is unfit to be a judge.

She thinks the taxpayers should have to pick up her bills.

She also tried to use her position to influence the police. She was twice the legal limit. She should have been treated like any other drunk twice the legal limit.
