So, if you are aiming these at me, I'm not sure what your angle is.

Looks like people are getting in early to try to ruin his possible presidential bid.
 
Nope....He did that himself during his last "Presidential Bid"....

@blueyes:
 
one of - if not my favorite band
 
Back on topic - imagine the outcry if Obama threatened to veto highway funding in Texas if Perry didn't step down.
 
Would that be significantly different from Perry's actions? if so - please explain.....

the devil is in the details:
 
this one really smells bad:
 
www.cnn.com/2014/04/ 25/opinion/moore-ric k-perry-grand-jury/i ndex.html?hpt=h
 
Rosemary Lehmberg, the Travis County district attorney, oversees the Public Integrity Unit, which investigates possible corruption in state government. Her office had launched the investigation of the multibillion-dollar cancer research agency after 18 scientists, including the Nobel laureate director, resigned in protest. They had claimed that investment decisions for that organization were being made without proper scientific review and that tens of millions of dollars were ending up in the hands of Perry supporters and donors for their business ventures. One former executive of the agency had been indicted in connection with an improperly awarded $11 million grant, and the case is pending.
 
The move to cut the funding for the state watchdog group had a few political benefits for the Texas governor. He had just eliminated money for a legal inquiry in which he possibly might have, eventually, been implicated. If she had quit, Perry would have also had the authority to name Lehmberg's replacement, most likely a Republican, which then becomes a convenient way to avoid any potential charges or political damage in advance of a second GOP presidential run.
 
Any attempts to characterize the investigation of Perry as a political prosecution are uninformed. Texas law is clear on official abuse of power: Prosecutors would only need to show that Perry was offering considerations in return for actions by District Attorney Lehmberg.
If there is evidence of any additional conversations after Lehmberg's original refusal and the formal veto, and evidence that Perry or his representatives attempted further negotiations for her resignation in exchange for anything, McCrum's presentation to the grand jury could become more compelling in convincing members that Perry was coercing another officeholder.

For one...your analogy is not plausible. But directly, he wanted the lady to resign who was running the integrity unit...because she was convicted of DWI. I have not read too much into it...but someone will have to prove that he broke the law.

Let the hair go free!
 
no seriously we all know this is Ann Richard's fault, she set the precedent for abuse of power during her term and was on vacation/playing golf when she was needed.

Is there any question that this woman should have remained the Travis Co DA for one more day after this display? Anyone with any self respect and respect for the position they hold, would have resigned the following morning.
