No one disputes that Perry is allowed to veto measures approved by the Legislature. But the left-leaning Texans for Public Justice government watchdog group filed an ethics complaint accusing the governor of coercion because he threatened to use his veto before actually doing so in an attempt to pressure Lehmberg to quit.

Maybe I don't know enough about these organizations and I will certainly research them, but what are you trying to say?

Criminalization of a political dispute.
The libs have done it to a Governor.
What could they do to a normal person?

What reason could you possibly have for downvoting his post? Whatever I downvoted your downvote

TT thinks it is cute and that it hurts your feelings when he downvotes you, but he automatically upvotes every one of Rex's posts...... Sheeple, i tell ya

I guess he's proud that if there is a dirty political trick being played somewhere his party is in it up their arse. There are some dirty pieces of shite in the Democratic party and the liberal idiots on this board are proud of it

This prosecutor will be lucky if he doesn't wind up like Mike Nifong.
Disbarred.

I'd still like to know what law they're actually claiming he broke. A governor has every right to veto or threaten a veto.
And going after a DA who happens to be a criminal is a perfectly legitimate reason to use the veto pen.
About the only way Perry could be guilty of wrongdoing is if the real reason for the veto is to shut down legitimate investigations. And even then he would have to be dumb enough to leave a written or recorded statement to that effect...of course, he IS an aggie.

He will have his day in court. If he broke the law or abused his power for political motives then bye bye. If he is found not guilty then good for him.

George Soros us the same commie liberal foreigner/POS who paid protestors to go from city to city to stir up protests against the war effort. He also was behind the Wall St. protestors.
He is currently betting on a stock market collapse.

By the way, the special prosecutor for this investigation is a Republican.
quote:
Naturally, Perry and his fellow Republicans are calling the indictments against Perry the result of a partisan investigation by an office controlled by Democrats — the same office that prosecuted former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Republican, later acquitted on appeal.
But Lehmberg and other Travis County officials recused themselves from the case and are not prosecuting it. One year ago a Republican judge from Bexar County, Bert Richardson, appointed a special prosecutor, Michael McCrum, to handle the prosecution.
McCrum, a criminal defense attorney in San Antonio, is a former Dallas police officer who began his career as a federal prosecutor during the George H.W. Bush administration, according to his online bio. In 2009, the state's two Republican U.S. senators, John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison, recommended him to become U.S. attorney for the Western District, according to published reports.
He was described as a “consensus choice” by the news site Main Justice because he had the backing of House Democrats and the two home state senators. He ultimately withdrew his name because of gridlock over nominations on Capitol Hill.
McCrum’s bipartisan credentials makes criticizing the investigation as a partisan witch hunt a tougher sell.

Did the same thing with Gov. Palin, and several other issues in State that are absolutely none of their business.

Yeah, bought and paid for. Just so a-hole like him can say "Look-it, look-it. See, I'm the right left."

Rick Perry is an establishment republican pal. Nonetheless, it looks like an extremely weak case.

Good to see that at the very least, R's have no issue outting other R's for misconduct. Unfortunately, it's a rather rare occurrence with their counterparts.
