RICK PERRY INDICTED ON 2 FELONY COUNTS, including ABUSE OF POWER

What does that have to do with Perry?

 

Which seems to ignore all of the history between Perry and the Public Integrity Unit.

That is not accurate. She was an elected DA. Her position was not "eliminated" due to Pery's veto. The Public Integrity Unit would have had their budget cut, but she would not lose her job.

Well, in all fairness, there is a lot wrong with what Perry did.

The unit was investigating money given to the CPRIT from the Texas Enterprise Fund without proper oversight, which looks a lot like Perry handing out money to his political cronies with no one checking to see if it was alright.

Effectively, he defunded the investigation into this fund after he was accused of this. Sort of makes it look like he was making sure he could not get into trouble for his own deeds.

 

This is what happens when you have democrats in charge. I live in chicago. This begs the question, what the F is wrong with the democrats in Austin texas? If democrats want to run wild, they should come and live in Chicago. I'll be leaving chicago and the stupid liberals can have it.

 

Funny how you cons don't give Obama and Hillary that same consideration. They haven't even been indicted, much less found guilty of anything.

 

Well, when you have people like Holder and Lehmberg in charge, you wouldn't be found guilty of anything...

Seriously, what the F is wrong with democrats??????? A governor is trying to clean house, and the rest of the liberal trash comes out defending the trash -- and when I mean trash, I mean people like Lehmberg... Democrats don't seem to care for doing the right thing. Seriously, liberals should move back to detroit or Chicago.... crooked politicians.. and stupid electorate... Leave texas to conservatives...

 

Dems sure know how to pic winners... Hank Johnson comes to mind

 

Do you really think Rick Perry is a GOP presidential hopeful? He stumbled last time. He has a mountain to climb at this point, but not because of what he did to the drunk Democrat. He's being kicked around like the Obama administration likes to do to any conservative who makes a stand at the border. He's directly challenging Obama, just like Sheriff Arpaio in AZ.

 

Remember, this is Texas. The most intriguing part is that this WOMAN was investigating PERRY at the time. And if could have FORCED
her to RESIGN, he would get to select her replacement. WOW, absolute power does absolutely corrupt. Even when you believe
in JEZZZZZZUS!!!

 

Scandal or not....

You guys really are going to huff and puff over THIS when compared to things like the IRS?

Our country is screwed, mainly because partisan hacks like the OP refuse to look through anything but their politically colored glasses.

Wonder when the war will be....

 

This is a political attack against Perry. He publicly (no hiding) stated that he wanted the drunk and dangerous (felon) D.A. in charge of the ethics investigations to resign. She refused, so he did what any responsible person would do REGARDLESS OF PARTY AFFILIATION. He cut her funding to make her worthless. She can resign or become worthless. As it should be. She is a menace to society. She is dangerous and has no respect for others or the law as anyone can tell by the video.

Perry did nothing other than try to stop a dangerous felon from continuing to abuse power.... and Liberal celebrate it?

What kind of (*)(*)(*)(*)ed in the head ideology do you have to have to support this sleazy dirtbag named ROSEMARY LEHMBERG???

Honestly, she is as bad as it gets and Liberals are lining up to support her outrageous and drunken actions?

Where is MADD? Instead of coming out against her, they took a nice fat donation from this piece of crap. As a nation, too many of you have lost your way as good people.

 

There is no doubt that the District Attorney had a DWI, and she was within her rights to keep her position. I won't argue on if that was a sin or a virtue on her part. Still, this does not excuse Perry from abusing his power.

 

I didn't leave that part out. That part has nothing to do with what Perry is accused of doing. He is accused of abusing his power and that needs to be dealt with. Perry threatened to veto the funding of the integrity unit if the DA didn't resign. That is an abuse of power.

 

A. Did I miss the trial of Rick Perry, already? When did they find him guilty?

B. And no, she has no right to keep her job. You maybe fine with Elected officials breaking the laws they were elected to uphold, but I am not. And, If Perry is found guilty of what he's been charged with, then he's no longer worthy of holding elected office either. See, that's called having consistent standards.

 

Ummm she has every right to keep her job.

 

People should expect a higher standard for those leading them, but they are free to elect even Hitler to office.

Appointees, especially judges and prosecutors, have should also be held to a higher standard of office.

If this prosecutor had been a Republican and Perry had asked them to resign, how many Democrats here can honestly admit they'd agree with the decision?

Now, if Perry let other DUI's ride and just picked on this one, we have a clear indication of bias. THAT is the type of evidence the prosecution will need to gain a conviction here.

 

1] The Travis Co. DA's actions are irrelevant. There is a process to remove her from office. Rick Perry is not part of that process.

2] Rick Perry has stated that he veto funding for the DA Office because he wanted to oust Lehmberg. That is not in question. Perry's action is official oppression...that will be proven in court.

 

It is not Perry's job to interject himself into a Texas county's business. He is head of the Texas executive branch...the DA is part of the Texas judiciary. Perry did not appoint her...the people of Travis county did.

 

Thus he broke the law the charges will not be dismissed because of this veto. Slick Ricks handler were not around to tell him to shut up. He also had this same problem with a cop he tried to pull crap with.

 

You really should read through at least a few of the messages previous to the one you have questions with in order to catch up. I admit to not reading all 100 plus messages of this thread, but I did have the courtesy and wherewithal to to read through the previous conversation of the one in which I responded.

 

It became Perry's business when he had the choice of approving or disapproving a budget for a program run by the person convicted of a DUI.

Do you agree we should hold all those in leadership positions to a higher standard? If so, do you think this application should only apply for those of the opposite party or to all those holding elected or appointed office?

 

A. So there hasn't been a trial of Rick Perry yet? No, umm k, thanks for sharing your seeing into the future powers.

B. No, the DWI arrest of a elected District Attorney is not irrelevant. I know deep down in your little partisan heart, you wish it was.

 

So the Democrats created the situation that Perry was purportedly required to resolve only by an abuse of power?

Interesting!

 

No she doesn't. But thanks for showing what a partisan hack you are, willing to defend a person who was arrested for DWI, who's job it is too throw other people in jail for also being convicted of DWI. Can you grasp the conflict iof interest, and the amazing set of double standards, or do I need to get some paper and crayons, so I can draw you a picture, in hopes of making you grasp how wrong you are, again.

 

Of course he is not a hopeful. But, you just blew my cover. I want the right to think he is a hopeful. Now, repeat after me; Rick Perry is a presidential hopeful.

 

Rick Perry is a presidential hopeful. Rick Perry is a presidential hopeful. Rick Perry is a presidential hopeful. Rick Perry is a presidential hopeful. Rick Perry is a presidential hopeful.

Hey, it's working!
