New "Courage" Ad Features Rick Perry's Indictment

Rick Perry seems to be using his indictment on two felony accounts for coercion of a public official and bribery as a way to reintroduce himself to voters in advance of the 2016 Republican presidential primary.

The folks at the DNC are all too happy to help promote Perry's criminal behaviors and produced a new ad, "Courage," that links together the many failed GOP governors who are making headlines for their bad behavior.

Of course, Perry is gladly promoting his indictment on his own as an example of "partisan politics," even though it was a fellow Republican who handled the case as the special prosecutor. I guess he thinks GOP primary voters want to nominate the biggest criminal -- and hey, maybe he's not wrong.

Here's the ad produced by the DNC:

Outsiders don't seem to realize how hard it is to get this kind of indictment in Texas. The evidence must be pretty strong.

Luv ya man.

He is getting special treatment since he is being allowed to keep his passport and not have to wear any tracking devices. He only had to post a $20 personal recognizance bond and spent no time behind bars where he belongs. I would say that is preferential treatment for someone indicted on two felony charges.

Luv ya back and thanks for your support, malokvale!
