That’s exactly the story the Democrats wanted and planned for.

The Nazi DemocRATS are all having orgasms tonight!!! They all should be in prison. Hopefully, Perry will make some of these SOBs pay for taking part in this bogus, political fiasco. Nail the so called “judge” too. It’s time for a little Karma.

This is how they booted Tom Delay so the Rats will keep using this method until it blows up in their faces which should be very soon ... hopefully.

All I want this to do is keep him far far away from the White House. I hope this keeps him tangled in legal problems until Mid-November 2016 and then released without cause.

Hopefully to be followed by an abuse of process lawsuit. Throw in conspiracy for good measure.

Civil suit to end sovereign immunity. That’s what Perry needs.

Did they mention that Perry was greeted by throngs of cheering supporters? And he was cheered both going into the station and out of it? This resulted in a big outpouring of support for Perry, and the “mug shot” looks like a campaign headshot. I don’t know how much mileage the Dems think they are going to get out of this, but even the NYT and WaPo are running away from this Dem disaster.

They tried this with Sarah too and she had to give up or go broke. I don’t think it will repeat.

If left wing fascists can do this to sitting Governors, Congressmen and Senators just think what they can do to you.

Would love to see:

"Barak Obama has been booked on two felony counts of abuse of power...."

Rick Perry turns himself in to authorities: Does he lose in the end?


Even the New York Times editorial board thinks the grand jury indictment of Texas Gov. Rick Perry is baseless. In an editorial dripping with contempt for their own conclusions, theTimes is compelled to confess that there is really no there there.

“One has to read this editorial to appreciate the angst it engendered in the Gray Lady’s panel of handwringers,” Ed Morrissey observed. “It’s an expert lesson in the use of weasel words.”

Conservatives have rallied to Perry’s side following this baseless indictment. Democrats have scrambled to disassociate themselves from his accusers. Many thought that Perry may end up emerging, paradoxically, in a better political position for having been indicted on corruption charges.

But Rosemary Lehmberg, the local district attorney who managed to secure this indictment and who many believe was exacting political retribution against Perry after he sought her removal from the bench for her DUI arrest, may end up with the last laugh.

“Texas Gov. Rick Perry plans to turn himself into authorities Tuesday afternoon at a local Texas jail on the heels of his indictment for alleged abuse of power, a member of the governor’s legal team told Fox News,” a report read on Tuesday. “Fox News has learned Perry will have his mugshot and fingerprints taken.”

That’s really bad news for those who backed Perry’s prospective 2016 presidential campaign. No matter how frivolous the charges Perry faces, and they are frivolous, few politicians can recover from having a police mugshot follow them around wherever they go. And Perry’s mugshot will do just that in 2015 and 2016.

Life isn’t fair, and neither are high-dollar Republican donors – the kind of people a prospective candidate needs to woo in order to mount an even remotely competitive presidential campaign. Perry has been effectively positioning himself as a more conservative but still electable alternative to more centrist candidates like Chris Christie and Jeb Bush in his pitch to donors, but the notoriously skittish GOP donor base will be nervous about backing a candidate with optics as bad as those the Texas governor will earn today.

Maybe Perry can turn this around and turn even his mugshot into an advantage, as he has so effortlessly with the indictment that precipitated it. But that remains to be seen. When the Republican base’s protective instinct has worn off, that mugshot will still be there. Make no mistake, this is a serious blow to Perry’s viability as a national candidate.


The reason these tactics continue to work is because of the Republican Establishment's reluctance to get their hands dirty in national elections.

They always want to appear as being above the fray of the riff-raff that lives in flyover country...the type of complications that result from incidents like the Perry indictment are beneath them.

And it's why they continue to lose.

Note George Soros gave the group $500,000 to fund the campaign against Perry.

When does Obama get booked on abuse of power charges?

He should use this to tout Obama’s abuses of power!

Of course that would be racist.
