His presidential aspirations were in the crapper after 2012’s debacle. This might be a blessing for his career. Now many conservatives love him. And many liberals sympathize with him.

Perhaps he was hoping that by doing this today, there would not be much on the news about it tonight, since there is that situation in MO of the unarmed teenager being shot down in cold blood by a white police officer.

The drunk, corrupt, witch who abused her power to bring this nonsense needs to be the poster girl of the Democratic Party.

Quote from story: "Even the New York Times editorial board thinks the grand jury indictment of Texas Gov. Rick Perry is baseless."

True, but it's the headline that the media will spin for the low information voters and public that matters.

RE: His presidential aspirations were in the crapper after 2012’s debacle

Everyone points to his debate brain freeze as the moment when he lost the 2012 nomination.

SEE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5i7Zq7cSfY

I personally thought that was a MINOR issue.

Mugshot or no. He is being viewed as a political prisoner in a way, and the mugshot becomes a non-issue.

Or he could use the mug shot in a campaign advert with the caption;

“This is what the democrats do to people that disagree with them”

Another shooting in St. Louis today.

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/michael-brown-shooting/st-louis-cops-shoot-kill-man-near-ferguson-crowd-gathers-n184216

Two St. Louis city police officers shot and killed a black man who came within several
feet of them brandishing a knife on Tuesday a few miles from the turbulent suburb
Ferguson, authorities said.

Vic Feazell, McClennon County Texas DA, was arrested on all kinds of trumped up charges in the 80s when he was right in the middle of a re-election campaign. He had bumper stickers made up of two fists breaking handcuffs. He won in a landslide. Then he fought the charges and not only won, Channel 8 in Dallas paid him millions for libel.

Perry can turn this indictment into a plus.

Perry just completed a presser, turned and walked through the door to turn
himself in. NBC had the presser on live.

I would make the mug shot a campaign poster:

Don’t worry Hotair. This will rev up donation to Perry.

The lush’s photo didn’t seem to hurt her until she attacked the Gov.

If “existing while republican” becomes a crime, then perhaps no laws apply any more...

One should always turn themselves in so as not to get arrested. Then there is no arrest on file. Right?
