Perry is blaming Democrats
for his spectacular pretender campaign crash and burn while ignoring
the fact that he is under indictment for felony abuse of power.
Perry blamed Democrats on Fox News’s Hannity.
Perry said, “We knew that there were two things we
had to take care of. Two things that had to go away if you will, and
another thing that needed to happen. One of those was the indictment.
The indictment by the Travis County district attorney’s office, this
drunk DA that had used this office, we think, for political purposes did
the same thing to Tom DeLay. Lasted for ten years. The other thing that
we knew had to happen. We had to be on the main debate stage on August
the sixth. We missed by just a few percentages of one point, so when
those two things didn’t happen it had a very negative impact on our
fundraising through the summer.”
Perry went on to blame Democrats for the
indictment. He said, “The political opponents, they did their damage.
They let that be a real corrosive effect on the process.”
Perry’s felony abuse of power indictment carries a
potential prison sentence of 5-99 years, but he is blaming Democrats for
the fact that he abused his power as governor in an attempt to force a
district attorney to resign. Perry attempted to use his veto power to withhold funding from the Public Integrity Unit in order to force a county district attorney to resign.
Republicans call themselves the cabal of personal
responsibility, but Perry is taking no personal responsibility for
his behavior. It is impossible to take Republicans seriously when they
talk about personal responsibility when they take zero responsibility
for their own behavior.
Here is a news flash for Perry. If he had not
abused his power as governor, he wouldn’t be under indictment. The
failure of his pretender campaign is tied to decisions that he made
as governor.
With his attitude of whining and blaming others, Perry isn’t going to last long behind bars when he gets convicted.
