Now we all know the old saying, "treat others how you want to be treated."
And that's exactly what our old friend, Rick Perry, Governor of Texas and aspiring nominee for the Republican party's 2016 Presidential election has done.
Except, he seems to not have wanted to do so!
If you haven't heard, Perry is being indicted for alleged abuse of power after he threatened to veto $2.7 million over 2 years for the public integrity unit, which is ran by Rosemary Lehmberg's office.
Lehmberg, a Democrat and the Travis County District Attorney, was arrested for a DUI in April 2013.
Perry asked the DA to resign due to this incident, and when she refused, he decided to veto the money!
It is said that Perry planned to replace Lehmberg with a Republican.
Now Mr. Perry is being indicted, and of course is UNHAPPY about such events.
He went on to say that this indictment is "politically motivated."
Well, gee, Mr. Perry, isn't that EXACTLY what your motivation was in trying to get Lehmberg to resign, and eventually replace her with a member of your OWN political party?
It's the same thing, and you're accusing others of doing EXACTLY what YOU planned to.
Treat others the way you want to be treated, Rick.
This drama may put a damper on Perry's shot as the Republican Presidential candidate, but honestly, who would want someone so blatantly dirty in office?
I'd take Chris Christie over him any day, and I cannot stand Chris Christie.
