Even the Washington Post says this is going to help him for POTUS. Makes him seem the victim and champion for ethics in government. Couldn't agree more.

May this backfire, big time...and may he wear it as a badge of honor.

The label probably won’t hurt him any more than “impeached” has hurt Bill Clinton.

Exactly. And those that didn’t know him before and are ethically inclined may be newly curious. Those conservatives that didn’t consider him viable may give him a second look. It’s not going to hurt.

Pure BS.

(And I won in court too)

I don’t know what this will do for Perry in the long run, but I know the game Democrats play with the leftist courts makes me despise them even more than I already did. When they can’t beat someone politically, despite having the media to do their dirty work, they turn to unethical, corrupt leftist courts, prosecutors, and jurors to keep conservatives under a constant threat of bogus indictments. Meanwhile, Democrats can get away with anything, and laugh about it.

Awww Jeez I do not understand the hatred of Rick Perry.
He gets hit from the left.. He gets hit from the right and he rolls through the punches, kisses his wife puts the hammer down, and stays pretty solid as a conservative.

So their logic is: it’s okay to act, but not okay to threaten to act. Typical thin liberal gruel. burn in hell deems.

It’s hard to say how this will turn out for the governor (corruption being what it is), but somebody needs to make the vids of this drunk go viral. As Kramer (from Seinfeld) would say “They’re OUT there, Jerry! They’re OUT!”
And they ain’t lookin’ too good. Deelicious!

Not according to good old El Rushbo. On today’s show, he basically said the damage to Perry has already been done.

Rush has already given the win to the Democrats and loss to the GOP...like everything else.

I do not care what anyone on FR says and I sure don’t give a **** what libs say, Rick Perry is a good and honorable man.

He fights the good fight.
Don’t always win, but he shows up in the arena.

I think it’s fear-laced hatred, MY. He is strong and patriotic.....just what we need.....and the lefties are wetting themselves because of this. Thus they lash out. The eGOP just fears that he’ll mess up “their turn at bat”.

Well The GOPE sure don’t like him and the right wingers here are sniping at him too.

That tells me he is right over the target
