TX GOP endorses pensions for felons

The GOP tough on crime? Think again.

Last legislation session the Texas GOP, you know the "tough on crime" bunch, had the opportunity to pass a bill that would strip the tax funded pension and healthcare from elected officials who commit felonies. The Legislature, dominated by the GOP from the 2010 election, and led by Governor Perry, took a pass and allowed the felons of the GOP to stick it to the taxpayers. (See WFAA for details)

Case in point, Joe Driver. Driver stole $100,000 from the taxpayers by double dipping, admitted to a felony, and has been sentenced. Because of the GOPs lack of ethics and their will to protect their felons, Driver keeps his pension.

State Representative Linda Harper Brown and Dan Flynn, also under investigation, might want to consider copping a plea like Driver did, accept a slap on the wrist, and continue to suck off the tit of the government that they hate.

The gop. Tough on crime, my ass.

p.s. The Texas GOP has not called for his resignation. In fact they haven't said squat.
