There is so much that's fucked up about that whole thing it's ridiculous.

If he was a liberal he would be getting praised.

If he was a liberal, he'd be having a beer with O, along with some of the upstanding citizens of ferguson.

Kinda what the Fed does to the states on a daily basis isn't it?

Retribution for activating the NG for the border.

I don't think the federal gov't had anything to do with this. According to what I read this has been months in the making. This issue is basically that he threatened to veto something before it was even presented in an attempt to get someone out of office...someone who probably didn't deserve to be in office. But, being she's a democrat, she's part of the protected, elite class. I don't see anything coming of this except for maybe some embarrassment to Perry (who's out in Nov anyway) and to democrats that brought this whole thing about.

OK, I recant!! The libtards will never do that, they are straight shooters!!

This whole situation confuses me. The state is backing a drunk driving public official? Weird. I wouldnt expect this from the great state of Texas.
