Texas Governor Rick Perry: Indictment Outrageous

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The liberal left media calls Texas Governor Rick Perry "defiant" because he refuses to lay down and surrender under attack.  Perry says the accusations of abuse of power are false, and it is in the opinion of this writer that the charges leveled against the Republican State Governor are retaliation against him for daring to send troops to the border to protect the State of Texas from immigration invasion (against the supposed federal supremacy of the Dictator in Chief, Barack Obama), and to destroy any chances he may have in reigniting any presidential hopes.

The accusations of him abusing his veto power are purely political, an attempt by Democrats to attack a governor for doing what was necessary to clean up his government, and cut out indecency in Austin.

“I wholeheartedly and unequivocally stand behind my veto and will continue to defend this lawful action of my executive authority as governor,” Perry told reporters at a packed six-minute news conference near his office on the second floor of the Capitol.

“We don’t settle political differences with indictments in this country.”

As hoped by the liberal left socialist progressive democrats, the indictment, the first against a sitting Texas governor in nearly a century, abruptly threw uncertainty over his potential presidential candidacy in 2016 and triggered state and national repercussions that Democrats hope will spill into this year’s gubernatorial race to choose his successor, as well as the mid-terms.

Democrats at the state and national levels escalated their demands for Perry to resign, but the state’s longest-tenured governor served notice that he plans to stay in office till the end of his term and vowed that he will ultimately beat the legal charges.

Perry has stated that he will not run for an unprecedented fourth four-year term, and has been preparing for a possible second run for the presidency in 2016.

Republicans have been predicting that Governor Perry will survive this weak legal case, echoing his view that the charges are politically motivated.

As they did with Sarah Palin, and any other conservative they deem dangerous to their cause, the Democrats are trying to turn the public perception of Rick Perry against him, convincing the voters he is damaged goods, and unelectable.

Electability seems to be a key concern among GOP strategists who fear controversy, and believe the deceptions offered by their liberal left Democrat Party overlords whenever controversy rears its ugly head.

Allan Saxe, an associate political science professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, said, “The word indictment has a very chilling effect. It's really not good politically for Gov. Perry.”

Perry believes he can overcome the chilling political attack.

In the eyes of the leftists, it doesn't matter if he is guilty, or if the case becomes a farce.  He was indicted, and that is enough, they believe, to derail his political aspirations.
