Texas Gov. Rick Perry Indicted For Abuse Of Power

[Reeve]

Epic. Good riddance. Nice to see power abusers get prison time.

I've heard that a lot of Texans were unhappy with Perry. Somehow I'm not surprised but yet there he is in office.

What was wrong with Bill White?

What was wrong with Bill White?

Probably the (D) after his name. This is Texas after all.

Indictments aren't hard to get.

The field just keeps getting better looking for Hillary in 2016. Let's play the who is next game!

Who in their right mind would vote for Hilary?

I'm no friend of the Republican Party, but this sounds like it'll blow over. They couldn't dismount NJ Gov Christie, they can't dismount Perry.

In all fairness it's obviously harder to dismount Christie.

Why would you want to mount him to begin with? lol

It's all about the center of gravity.

Have fun trying to get a conviction.

America has a high incumbency rate - we may disapprove our elected representatives, but we certainly aren't going to vote them out!

Too bad disapproval doesn't translate to upsets - or support for other candidates.

Inb4"ThanksObama" and putting him in office for another 4 years? (PS: I'm blue and voted blue. Just making a joke :3)

Ha! Texas has nothing on my state of Illinois. 4 out of our last 7 governors have gone to prison. When it comes to corruption, nothing beats Chicago politics.

Another from Illinois eh?

Allow me to share!

This just means you guys suck at getting away with it.

That's the truth. Our pols are just bad at getting away with it. Chicago style corruption happens everywhere.

He did the whole thing publicly. Seems like it's be hard to avoid a conviction.

So they want to get rid of Perry for wanting this lady to resign and keep this lady as DA?

[Piglord]

Excellent. Excellent!

I wonder how this will affect the gubernatorial election, especially if he ends up resigning.

I'm pretty sure he was not planning on running again anyways.

I can't see him getting very far in a presidential bid with this on his record, either.
