That's what conservatives said about McDonnell.

The two situations aren't remotely similar.

Well, it's hard to tell from the conservative posts here. The first post on McDonnell was "Wapo hits a new low in journalism attacks on Govt. McDonald ".

I looked that up and it was an incoherent post and I didn't see anyone comparing the McDonnell situation to that of Perry.

At any rate, it's within the governor's authority to veto. Now if he had been paid off to veto then perhaps there'd be a problem.

But it's not within a governor's authority to accept bribes/"gifts" from someone while using his official position to push that someone's products.

Right. What could be wrong with a member of the jury hanging out with a witness? Gee.

Oh my god. A person on a grand jury has political beliefs. Do you realize that people on juries are normal, average people, and more than 1/12th of Texas are Democrats?

Beliefs are one thing. Being on the DEMs rules committee--while indicting Perry is another. Hanging with a witness is also a problem.

Republicans in Texas believe they are entitled to a jury if their peers, where peer is people who believe you are innocent.

So? That's who was randomly selected for jury duty. Just because she is staunchly Democratic doesn't mean she's biased. By the way, would you say the same thing if the parties were reversed?

yes. Opinions are one thing, activity is another. Jurors don't meet with witnesses. Period.

She wasn't meeting with the witness, she was at an event featuring the witness, which was also attended by many other people, so they couldn't have talked about the case.
