This new flier from Rick Perry's campaign lays out his plan to fix Washington, D.C.
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- Thirty-three days and counting till the Iowa caucuses and Texas Gov. Rick Perry is out with new campaign mailers and another television ad in the state.
“It’s time for a Washington overhaul,” the front cover of the trifold brochure reads. A bulldozer is depicted knocking over the Capitol on the front of the mailer Iowans found in their mailboxes today.
The inside pages explain Perry’s three-part plan to overhaul the nation’s capital:
Part 1: End lifetime appointment of federal judges.
Part 2: Create a part-time Congress, cutting pay and time in Washington in half.
Part 3: Overhaul the permanent bureaucracy.
Despite the governor not having been in the first-in-the-nation caucus state since Nov. 19, his campaign released another new television ad to run in the state Thursday.
The 30-second TV spot is entitled “Energy Jobs,” during which Perry says, “I’m an outsider so I’ll step on a few toes if necessary to reopen our oil and gas fields.”
While other GOP presidential campaigns are mailing out lots of campaign literature, Perry has rolled out by for the most TV ads throughout the Hawkeye State.


Is this the same guy who is advertising his brain fart?
Then again, if you've got it spend it....
I'm sure his donors are so proud...
Just like Hermie's... lmao!

Who in their right mind can believe Perry, the Dunce- in- Chief? Wait a minute all the brain farts who follow Perry do.
Feisty, I like your avatar.
So Perry hasn't caught up with the idea that he is a national joke yet Feisty? He IS slow on the uptake, isn't he?

newday,
He is too dumb.
He's not going to get any support from Congress if he cuts their job and salary in half.
Hey Bev - GF - clean out your voice mail, I have been trying to call you as I have something for you!
Great minds think alike.... {{{HUGS}}}
HE can't cut their salary or their time in DC in half.....he forgets that CONGRESS controls the pursestrings and sets salaries for ALL elected and appointed officials, not the President.
Part 1: Hmmmm, does he really think he could get Congress and the states to pass a constitutional amendment to change the term of office for judges?
Just another example of his stupidity. How in the hell did the citizens of TX continue to elect him governor......or did they? Did he rig the ballots?
Throughout this onslaught of often amusing Perry and Cain publicity I remain perplexed how Jon Huntsman is almost completely ignored by both the press and public. The photo this morning with barely half of Mr. Hunsman's face showing was so telling - sloppy picture taking unless it was deliberately framed that way, then brilliant!
Is Mr. Huntsman's snubbing - by both sides - because he just is not entertaining enough? C'mon fellow Grimey conservatives, let's start paying atttention to this guy!
Feisty, again, you promised me Mr. Cain would soon be gone. My patience is wearing thin. If he is not out of the picture in a week I shall be demanding expensive beverages in recompense.
People in Iowa and every other state Perry campaigns need to ask him:
1. Why the people of Texas are being told to expect rolling black outs this winter because the demand of electricity exceeds the supply. With Texas paying the one of the highest rates for electricity after deregulation why hasn't green energy been in the making?
2. Not only does Texas apparently not have electricity but it doesn't seem to have water either. While residents are told they can water only once every two weeks fracking continues. Many parts of Texas has gumbo/clay soil and with the constant expansion and contraction of soil it is imperative for the homeowner to water their foundation OR face $30,000. in foundation repair down the road.
AND Perry says his state is well run? I beg to differ!
Drilling a typical Chesapeake deep shale natural gas and oil well requires between 65,000 and 600,000 gallons of water.
Water is also used in fracking where a mixture of water and sand is injected into the formation at a high pressure to create small cracks in the rock allowing gas and oil to freely flow to the surface. Fracking a typical Chesapeake horizontal deep shale natural gas or oil well requires an average of 5 million gallons per well.
In a worst case scenario, the petroleum distillates used in a single well could contain enough benzene to contaminate more than 100 billion gallons of drinking water to unsafe levels, according to drilling company disclosures in New York State and published studies. (NYDEC DSGEIS 2009, Pagnotto 1961) That is more than 10 times as much water as the state of New York uses in a single day. (NYDEC DSGEIS 2009)
Fracking has already been linked to drinking water contamination and property damage in Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wyoming and other states. (Lustgarten 2008a, 2008b)
Be sure to ask Perry about THIS.
Is he still running?
My thought about that is... um... er... my thought... it's right on the tip of my tongue... I forgot what I was going to say.
Just ANOTHER lost cause and money down the drain for the TPGOP.
Its sure convenient he has the USPS to demonize/help get him votes.
Not me, Beverly!
I adore Perry. I love a man that can admit his flub up and laugh over it ! SO admirable... ! I don't want a slick talker or a shiny debater... I want a Leader. A Patriot. Somebody that loves the American people and will uphold the Constitution... A person that knows foreign and domestic issues. Somebody the rest of the World can and will respect. No bowing or scraping or apologizing to the World, PLEASE ! Haven't we all had enough of that?
And you really think Perry is that person??????? NONE of the candidates are....they are all corrupt politicians. And NONE of them are upholding their oath to defend the Constitution, from the local to the federal level.
Do you really think Rick Perry is the answer? The guy is to put it nicely, stupid...
Considering that no liberal will ever give any creedence to any republican running for office I guess the answer is simple Nancy... You choose who you like, stick with that person no matter what the liberals say. You have your reason for liking Perry and that should be good enough... except to a liberal... because they feel they have to tell you how to think. It's in their nature to feel superior to everyone else. Their reasoning can be thrown right back at them through the debacle we have in the White House now... he's taken us just a couple steps away from a tyrany.
The liberals can't see it... they think it would be great to live under more government control.
Got that opinion of liberals from reading the strategy of Clower and Pivins, did you Brianb #'s?
Oops--I meant Cloward and Piven.
Nope! I get that opinion of liberals from people like you numb.
I'm actually not a liberal.
By the way, you never did thank me for helping you get the names straight.
Anyway, it was evident that since you didn't know who you were talking about, you obviously didn't know what you were talking about. Don't insult people's intelligence by parroting the crap you hear from Glenn Beck.
You can have the last word tonight--I have to get to bed because I have to get to work early tomorrow.
I will be happy to joust with you in the future.
Sleep well.....
Nancy,
Rick Perry has been a very successful Governor. 40% of recent job growth nationwide has been found in Texas.
But his performances in debates have been less than stellar. We need to find the best candidate to defeat Obama and his failed policies. Not sure Perry is up to the challenge; we shall see.
Power to the People! Working Class vs. corporate sheep!
There is no way the people elect a sheep into the whorehouse..
We are not idiots, you are in the middle of a revolution..
Republicans refuse to acknowledge it, which is why they pay these candidates who act like its about what its always been about.. Times have changed..
Its just stupid to see a Dick Perry talking about overhauling washington.. Morons..
J the J,
Smoke another J, and check us here in the AM...your comments don't support your cause...
GOPers,
Perry is YESTERDAY'S TOAST.
Next?
Here's T-Rick with his fancy new glossy mailer -- one that probably passed spell-check -- letting his earlier contributors know he is spending and not saving or returning their donations. Like him, the mailer has a slick appearance, has creases where it should, and has no talent in speaking on or off the cuff.
Maybe The Candidate wasn't paying too much attention when bedtime stories were being read to him. What did the emperor do when so many the people realized that they had been deluded into thinking they weren't smart enough to believe their own eyes? He kept on marching in his non-existent new clothes. What does T-Rick continue to do after so many of the people have come to realize he is not clad in the mantle he still wants them to believe in? He still continues to campaign.
Hans Christian Andersen should be required reading for all who would be president.
