What do yall think about the Rick Perry Indictment

[37jetson]

There could be more behind the media story on what Rick Perry did, but is this not a frightening destruction of political enemies? Perry could face 109 years in jail? In that case Lois Lerner deserves the chance to face 109,000 years in jail. How about Barrack Obama if he goes forward with sacking 8,000 top Naval Officers so he can replace them with people friendly to his cause.

Shows how crooked the Liberals are.

That DA needed to resign after being busted for drunk driving and acting a fool.

LOL. why does it only show how crooked liberals are? In my opinion it just shows how the whole political system is crooked.

Do you know the story?

It's definitely a political witch hunt......

Yes, I know the allegations at least, it alleges that he called for Lehmberg's resignation and held funding of some integrity unit over her head. She refused and the funding was vetoed by Perry.

my post was about you acting like these sorts of things don't happen from all sides of the political spectrum. you just like to say "liberals" are the only politicians that misuse their power. If you think liberals are the only politicians that are shady you are simply blinded by your bias or naive. The whole system is typically set up based on a good old boys club and scratching of backs to get one's back scratched later or making decisions to better their chances to stay in power (i.e. fund raising).

Def a political witch hunt. All politicians do it. The Clintons just had all of their enemies killed. Obama specifically hired Dennis Burke to target John Dodson with a smear campaign for blowing the whistle on Fast and Furious. I am sure GW had his dogs on Michael Moore. I daresay there is not a single politician from the US Congress up that hasn't misused their political power in this manner.

I agree, but my concern is that a court actually handed down an indictment on a sitting governor for a political act that is as old as time. This is a terrible precedent.

The funny part is their position is that his veto overstepped his authority...
