RICK PERRY Declines to Fund Crazy Violent Drunk – Dems Indict Him For It – Perry Fires Back

Here’s all you need to know…



Travis County D.A. Rosemary Lehmberg was arrested for driving while drunk – with a blood-alcohol nearly three times the legal limit. Lehmberg attacked police, beat and kicked the walls, and was forced into restraints during her arrest.

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.

"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.“

How many times has Obama threatened and carried out vetoes on bills unless he got his way?

How many times has Obama threatened and carried out vetoes on bills unless he got his way?

You mean the ones that actually make it through Harry Reid's Senate?

I believe Perry demanded Lehmberg resign.  She refused, and this is the outcome.

There have been a few, but Harry sits on almost all bills from the house.  That tells me that some of them would have bi-partisan support and would pass.  Dingy Harry is doing Obama's dirty work for him.

Politics sure are a nasty business.

[Mr Mannn]

I wonder if this isn't the face of the future. Democrats falsely inditing any opponents. Using the courts to punish any Republican who dares to hold office.

[Fourwinds]

Geez...you would think libs would learn to pick and choose their battles. There is no way they'll come out of this smelling like roses. Then again, they've been getting their way for so long, I'm pretty sure they couldn't tell a losing situation from a winning one anymore.

It looks like the police released a pic of her sleeping it off.

Like was done to Sarah Palin? Nah, the Ds wouldn't do such a thing. Nothing to see here ... move along ... these aren't the droids you're seeking ...

This is something Austin democrats like to do. The slosh's predecessor, Ronnie Earle went after Tom Delay and KBH and when he retired she ran in a one-party race (this is Travis County, after all) and barely won.

Liberal billionaire George Soros gave $500,000 to Texans for Public Justice, one of the groups behind Rick Perry’s indictment charges.




If this was a (D) they were going after all you would hear is the Koch Brothers are behind it, but all you hear from the MSM is crickets on who is funding this witch hunt.

[thundley4]

An editorial in the New York Times says the against Perry is BS.

[J P Sousa]

Soros same left wing extremist that funds "opendemocracy Ltd" through "http://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/about" open society;

We need new global governance which can both manage the ascent of China, India, Russia, Brazil as well as the relative decline of the United States and Europe. Europe and the US must concentrate on shaping this new global governance and enshrine its progressive values within it, while they still have some power to do so.

Manage the decline of the United States, which is what Obama is doing.

I think Soros had better pray to whatever he believes in that Rick Perry never becomes President.

This might have some bearing on the indictments . . . Ya think?


Perry Grand Juror Was An Active Democratic Party Delegate During Jury Proceedings

By: Brian Sikma | August 20, 2014

Rho Chalmers, who disclosed to the Houston Chronicle yesterday that she was a member of the grand jury that indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry, was an active delegate to the Texas Democratic Party convention during grand jury proceedings. Chalmers’ active participation in Democratic state politics is important because she claimed yesterday to the Houston Chronicle that her decision to indict Perry, a Republican, was not based on politics.

“For me, it’s not a political decision,” Chalmers told the newspaper. “That’s what a grand jury is about – take the emotion out of it and look at the facts and make your best decision based on your life experience.”

More troubling, however, is the fact that Chalmers attended, photographed, and commented on an event with Democratic state Sen. Kirk Watson while grand jury proceedings were ongoing.

Watson was a witness in front of the grand jury. On June 27, 2014, Chalmers shared a photo of the Watson event on a community Facebook page she started called Developer’s Dungeon. “Senator Kirk Watson telling the story of the Wendy Davis fillibuster (sic),” she wrote in a comment accompanying the picture.

All of a sudden, the chorus of Dems decrying this 'indictment' is going to get a lot louder.
