"This indictment amounts to nothing more than abuse of power and I cannot and will not allow that to happen,”

Yes! Go, Rick!

I hope Perry prevails. This is indeed an outrage. Call me a conspiracy nut, but I can’t help but think Romney is behind this. He has plans to run again. He is again taking down all the potential republican opponents as he did last time. I know, I know, I’m nuts.

[BenLurkin]

This whole thing just might work to Perry’s benefit on the national stage.

[Reaganez]

Labeling someone “defiant” is one way the left-wing press lables someone evil.

I hope his sending the NG to the border isn’t another farce similar to GWBush’s putting 6,000 NG on the border — to file paperwork and wash BP vehicles.

Perry has a chance to step up and show some real backbone. If he starts to waver, he might as give up on 2016.

Kick azz with your outsized Texas boots!

It is a farce, but we live in an evil world.
Praying for him and for truth to triumph!
May the wicked be put to shame, and may it bring them to repentance before a holy God.

This was definitely a political strike from an arched enemy. I hope he’s wise and fights this with a intelligent legal team. I sure would love to know who set this in motion / the dems in Austin or the Gop-e. Personably, I think both sides are involved.

Texas Dems issue fatwad against Gov. Perry

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I'm no lawyer by far, but is this even legal? Can this "special prosecutor" responsible for this get "Mike Nifonged" if Perry has a case against him for abuse of power?

Now that Perry has been indicted more people than ever will watch the video of Rosemary’s booking. She’s rude, nasty and disrespectful to the police, not to mention drunk! I don’t know how they stayed so composed and didn’t tell her to just SHUT UP. If she represents “public integrity” in Texas, heaven help them.

[angelsonmyside]

It’s probably been shown on here already but worth repeating. The end of the second video shows her holding her hand as if it were a gun and aiming at the person taking the video. Very disturbed person indeed.

Jim...we Texans are a conservative breed by nature. This is not only a farce, but a strange twist of irony. Not funding a DA wench who thumbs her nose at law enforcement during her DUI folly? I would have been disappointed in Mr. Perry, if he had.

I for one have emailed my state senator and rep to defrock the Travis County DA's office of persecutory powers of this nature, and transfer these powers to the Texas AG, where it belongs. Again our state is conservative enough, where I think this can be pulled off.

I am asking that all other Texas Freepers do the same. Tom Delay was a great conservative who fell victim to these tactics, only later after being ruined was cleared. Enough is enough!!!!!!!

[Domangart]

If you are going to kill the king make sure you do. I see several law license's removed.

[trisham]

It’s absolutely a farce. God bless and protect Governor Perry.

Public Integrity Unit run by the office of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg.

An oxymoron if there ever was one.

[ontap]

Folks this is the same thing Ronnie Earle did to Tom Delay....it took 3 or 4 Grand juries before he got the indictment and numerous years for Delay to clear himself....it’s what they do!!! Only difference is it’s another political hack instead of Earle!!!
