While a number of Democrats have been repulsed by the criminal charges filed against Governor Perry for lawfully vetoing funding for a public integrity office run by a woman arrested for drunk driving, the hard core Democrats on the left have stood by this blatant criminalization of politics.
I would like to point out that while these on the Left are outraged that Perry tried to defund that woman's office with a legal veto of funding to pressure her to resign; our Left was eager to defund the legally declared war in Iraq--even as we were seeing rapid progress by the surge (and Awakening)--in an effort to lose that war.
