If Perry gets the nom, I think the Dems should buy copies of the book he wrote, entitled Fed Up, and send it to every independent or undecided voter. In it, Perry advocates his extreme views on entitlement program, saying that Medicare and Social Security should be abolished as Federal programs, and replaced at the state level, if states were inclined to create such programs. He also calls for the end of direct election of Senators, advocating that state legislatures should choose senators, as had been done until the 17th Amendment around 100 years ago. Oh, and this is not some obscure college thesis from years ago, this is a book released just last year.
This guy should not be taken lightly, but there is tons of fodder for the Dems to use to scare the crap out of any moderate voter.
