I think this is just political thuggery and makes Austin/Texas politics look more and more like Chicago politics.

Well, the fish rots from the head. The bunch in power now has permanently contaminated the Democratic party.

And your link explains why he should go to prison how, exactly? The only mention of him that I could find on your linked site is the following:

The Texas Optometry Board is a black hole for complaints filed by injured patients. The board continues to try to extend its power while doing little to protect the public. The board is nothing more than a band of Governor Rick Perry's hand picked political puppets used to further his political agenda and prevent medical malpractice lawsuits in support of Governor Perry's 2003 tort reform. Tort reform in Texas has created a dangerous environment for the public and a goldmine for doctors who now have little risk of being sued for medical malpractice. Politics and medicine do not mix.

I fail to see how this is even remotely related to the two felony indictments at hand, other than to show that you don't like him on a personal basis for some other very unrelated reason, so therefore he should go to jail for this?

I only point out that there is corruption in Austin under Perry for those that believe otherwise. I was a bit too quick to jump on this as my reasons for wanting to see Perry go to prison are personal since I deal with the consequences of his personal political agenda everyday. He has made political decisions that are not in the best interest of the majority of Texans. Right, wrong, or indifferent, I hope he rots.

There's no mystery that Perry is corrupt. No mystery that Austin is corrupt. In fact, I suspect it's far more corrupt than your experience leads you to believe. Still, you don't try people on bogus charges and put them in prison in a country that operates under the rule of law. Now, if there is evidence of corrupt practices that violate the law, then charge all violators for breaking those laws. We all know that's never going to happen because both parties are neck deep in corruption. The Dems know that Perry is not going to be convicted of anything. This is a political stunt for the sole purpose of attempting to gain political power. The goals of both parties are the same: more power, more prestige, and more money.

So, you're in favor of drunk driving DA's who are contemptuous of law enforcement and seek special treatment for themselves remaining in office? Wow. Just wow.

A typical liberal too.....it's the cops fault for arresting her, not her fault for driving drunk. That attitude alone should disqualify her from holding any public office.
