I wasn’t aware that Perry tried and executed anybody
Wish the number was higher.
“Rick Perry holds the record on executions”

Don’t be a murderer in Texas... What’s the problem??
This goes in the plus column.
In the words of Ron White...”We have the death penalty in Texas....and we use it!!!!
This can’t be true. Perry is a Bilderberg guy after all. He also was a Democrat and bought a bottle of French wine once. A real flaming Lib. I learned this on FR don’tcha know.
If you come to Texas and kill one of us, we’ll kill you back.
Funny how the liberal nitwits think this is a negative...
We Texans aren’t in favor of the Electric Chair. No Sir.
We REALLY like them Electric Bleachers.
The TTC was actually an expressway to Huntsville.
Right. Like he personally makes those happen..
However, DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS!
As comedian Ron White says, “I like Texas..they say if you kill somebody in our state, we’ll kill you back!”
If I understand TX law, their capitol cases are like a freight train that nobody can stop, even the governor, without some extra-big reason to interfere.
The rate of recidivism among the executed is very low.
you know all those “Chuck Norris” jokes?
Just substituting the name “Rick Perry” ......
Rick Perry’s boots are made of actual cowboys
Rick Perry uses paper to cut scissors
Rick Perry doesn’t use a towel after he showers, he just tells the water to get the he!! off
yada yada yada
The finally put in the 3rd to last paragraph what really happens: The Governor does not get involved in any death prosecutions or sentencing and can ONLY postpone a death sentence up to 30 days - unless the Board of Pardons and Paroles recommends a full commutation - which is rarely. Under the Constitution, the Governor can’t impose a moratorium.
In other words, he happened to be Governor in a State with very tough death penalty laws, but has little authority to do much about it. A totally differnet take than the headline or first 3/4 of the article would have you think.
Nice job, WaPo.
And is this a bad thing? I applaud it. We need alot more of it out here in CA.
The left has been piling on Kerry lately. Are they worried?
WDC could use some!!!
The author says this as if it were a bad thing.
I assume it Texas it is the jury or the judge that sentences the person convicted of the crime.
The MSM is going to Palinize Perry now. He is not their pick to run against 0bama.
They want a weaker candidate to be on the ballot against their corrupt man child.
“He vetoed a bill that would have spared the mentally retarded... “
Another MSM outreach to the left....
