Rick Perry, Texas Blues & The Liberal Two-Step

 by xuberalles
 So let me get this straight; Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg – also the head of the Public INTEGRITY Unit – is convicted of aggravated DUI. When she refuses to resign for behavior unbecoming of her office – accountability is foreign to most liberals - Governor Rick Perry promises to veto the 7.5 million budgeted for the Integrity Unit. And for this, something presidents and governors practically do on a weekly basis, he is indicted on felony coercion charges by a heavily Democratic-laden, Austin grand jury? Oh, something definitely stinks in the Lone Star state and it’s called dirty politics. With just under three months to Election Day, liberals are desperate to install party nutjob extraordinaire, Wendy Davis, atop of the Texas pyramid. Why? One, progressives will do anything to paint Texas blue; albeit by gerrymandering, eliminating voter ID, removing the National Guard from the border, or outright amnesty. Two, Texas – with its low taxes and business friendly environment – stands as a beacon of liberty and economic prosperity; a success story that stands in direct contrast to Obama’s decaying welfare state. This entire fiasco is nothing but an obvious and petty ploy to taint Mr. Perry’s name and plant a seed of criminality in voters’ minds. Coercion isn’t holding a public servant accountable for behavior unbecoming of her elected office and appointed task force; coercion is putting a gun in someone’s back and forcing them into your car. Ms. Lehmberg had a choice and she chose wrong. Now the Governor is fully within his rights – like all of his fellow gubernatorial constituents – to withhold money from an office that does not comply with common sense standards. (Yes, Barack Obama threatens vetoes almost daily for the most inane reasons) Ultimately, I have no doubt the Governor will be cleared of these vindictive charges once he’s defended before an impartial jury, it’s just a sad indictment of our society that the duplicitous and divisive politics of Rosemary Lehmberg and Wendy Davis converge to unhinge one of the last strongholds of our American republic.
