A humbled Rick Perry is asking America for a second chance
Source: Yahoo
Four years ago, Rick Perry’s campaign for the GOP presidential nomination got off to a high-profile start and then imploded. Now the man best known nationwide for his “Oops” moment and his cowboy boots is asking America for a second chance, announcing a new bid for the White House on Thursday afternoon at a military star-studded event at an airfield north of Dallas.
Perry, the longest-serving governor of Texas, has revamped his strategy since his disastrous exit from the last race. Since leaving the governor’s mansion in January, he has boned up on foreign and domestic policy with a rotating team of advisers. He no longer wears his signature cowboy boots, which exacerbate the back problems that dogged him in 2012, and he has started sporting black-framed “hipster” glasses that lend him some gravitas. His advisers say his loss taught him humility that will fuel his comeback. But so far, Perry has been dogged by low poll numbers that suggest the GOP base is still skeptical.

Perry, the longest-serving governor of Texas, has revamped his strategy since his disastrous exit from the last race. Since leaving the governor’s mansion in January, he has boned up on foreign and domestic policy with a rotating team of advisers. He no longer wears his signature cowboy boots, which exacerbate the back problems that dogged him in 2012, and he has started sporting black-framed “hipster” glasses that lend him some gravitas. His advisers say his loss taught him humility that will fuel his comeback. But so far, Perry has been dogged by low poll numbers that suggest the GOP base is still skeptical.
Part of the governor’s strategy to win over the skeptics is to emphasize his experience in the military and his support for veterans. “Lone Survivor” Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell and Taya Kyle, the widow of “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle, are set to join the governor when he will announce his second run for the presidency in Addison, Texas. (The Perry team debuted a new “Perry for President” seal early Thursday morning on his campaign website.) The venue and special guests will allow Perry to highlight his own stint in the Air Force in the 1970s, when he piloted cargo planes and participated in several humanitarian missions abroad. Perry is one of just two presumptive GOP candidates to have served in the military (the other is Sen. Lindsey Graham), and he has touted this experience over the past year as a way to distinguish himself in the crowded Republican field.

Yawn
Edit to add the last paragraph:
On the campaign trail, Perry may have to explain his felony indictment back home, after a grand jury decided to charge the governor last year for his role in pressuring a district attorney to step down after a drunken driving charge. Perry, who is originally from the tiny West Texas town of Paint Creek, is known for playing hardball with political rivals. It remains to be seen if, this time, he can successfully translate those skills to the national stage.
= new reply since forum marked as read
1) He ditched the cowboy boots so he can now appeal to non-Texans, ala GWB. ( 
)
2) He's got new cool glasses, so he can appeal to intellectual Repubs. (If any exist)
3) He is humble.
4) He is the humblest cool-glasses wearing, non-booted Texan.
5) He is just so damn humble. (How many times will we need to be told?)
Let's ask Perry when he was governor if he gave and signed the death warrant of some indivuals that may have been innocent, if they deserved a "second chance":
And to top it all off on the hypocrisy clown ride from this right wing hypocrite nut job----------he is going to go around and tout his military experience of being a pilot in the Air Force, which was paid for by US so that he could be paid and trained to fly with our tax dollars on "humanitarian" relief supplies ----------------yep------------humanitarian relief supplies trips--------------and then when he becomes a governor in a right wing state which has no common sense at all
He was asked on numerous occasion to look into some cases on death row, because of questions being raised------------he turned his head in his own zeitgeist moment ----------------he and his death squads in the corrections department did the following in the name of "humanity".

He really has no conscience-------------none-------------I think and hold the opinion that he is a sociopath
You would think that would be newsworthy... 
My mistake: there's a sentence in the last paragraph. 
Oh, Ricky! You so funny!!
he'd sew up the Republican base.
They love them some good brownshirts.
complete with Rick's new, patented "I'm not a dumbass, really" Smart Guy Glasses
