AUSTIN, Texas -- In light of the malicious prosecution of Governor Rick Perry, Republican lawmakers are rushing to jump on the bandwagon opposing the Democrats politically motivated action. But several House Republicans loyal to liberal House Speaker, Joe Straus, bear responsibility for setting the stage leading to the indictments.

How do the Democrats control the House in a red state like Texas?
OMG, I have known Charlie Geren since he was a kid. He had such nice parents. Sorry to hear he turned into such a POS.
Unfortunately, Patricia Harless is my rep who I have been trying to get rid of. Talk about a sneaking conniving little fool. There she is in all her glory. I can’t remember what I contacted her about a while back; but anything I said she was condescending, rude, abusive and any other word you can put in that category. I think they said at the voting booth if she was the only one on the ballot I had to vote for her. I should have done a right in with one of my dogs names who is actually a lot nicer and smarter than this idiot ever will be.

*************
GOP controls with 95 - 55 membership.
There are just enough of them that Straus, supported by his little cadre of quisling RINOs, can muster a majority.
The Tea Party ate into his support in the primaries and his ally in the Senate, Dewhurst, is soon gone so his days may be numbered.
RINOs would rather have a liberal democrat than a conservative Republican.
I think the GOPe wants Perry to go down as well, that’s why they are complicit with the Democrats in this.
Sounds Familiar
Boehner must be replaced.
Guess what? He's out.
It's easier to do in Texas than at the Federal level.
Straus lost GOP supporters this primary, and isn't nearly as strong as he was. One more election cycle, and he's likely to go.

Well, didn’t Perry get s jump start by heading up Gore’s campaign in Texas?
Thanks for your service Johnny
Agree. Maybe you need to start a “Give Straus the Boot” list. It worked for Dewberry ;)
I think Sen. Patrick's drumming of Dewhurst should send a clear message to our state GOP reps and senators........ Get the Travis County DA's office out of witch hunting exercises ....OR ELSE!!!!!!
stealing votes. Voting more than once. ACORN help. Yo name it!
I agree. Perry scares them as well.
