EXCERPT---
"Texas Governor Rick Perry was indicted on Friday by a grand jury in Texas on two counts of abuse of power and coercion over a funding veto he made last year that was seen as being intended to force a local prosecutor to resign.

A probe was launched last year after Perry vetoed $7.5 million in funding for an integrity unit that is part of the Travis County District Attorney's office. The move was seen as hardball politics to force out county District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat, after she pleaded guilty to drunken driving.

If you can't beat 'em, sue or prosecute 'em. Again we see the ever evolving practice of using the law to run over the law. Dems hate the idea that they cannot get away with whatever indiscretion they would want, after all, are they not special in their own minds? There is a real hate fest going on right now between the parties, and despite claims to the contrary, it is mostly a one way affair. No matter how lecherous or generally debase their actions at the personal level may be, that supposedly brings nothing to bear on how well they do their jobs. But, it really does matter. And as the thread title suggests, I believe America is in real trouble because of the calls from the left for compromise of personal integrity at the state level.

At any rate, Rick Perry has been a thorn in the side of the far left throughout the present administration. The vast majority of so-called newly created jobs they like to tout, all happened down in Texas. The shinning success story of this nation is that Texas, is keeping the nation's wolves at bay nearly by it's lonesome. Liberals hate that, and conservative Republican Governor Perry with a passion.
