I believe the point is, Perry seems to be campaigning exactly the way Mitt Romney is:
Slinging mud.
No thanks. Can’t remember why I originally thought Perry meant anything.

Perry is scary stupid.
His part-time Congress statement displays an amazing lack of knowledge regarding Congress roll in the Federal Budget cycle, which is a year 'round exercise, as well as major acquisition milestones.
He said that money gets lost in the maze of earmarks. Just the opposite is true. Earmarks are the only way Congress has to ensure that appropriate funds are spent according to the wishes of Congress. Earmarks are not the same as pork.
His term limits on Federal Judges is extra Constitutional and does nothing to return the courts to their rightful place in the hierarchy of power.
There is more, much more. Like I said, scary stupid (as are, apparently some of his supporters).

Special report: The golden age of opposition research Original source Reuters.....
Overall, Romney is thought to have the best oppo team in this Republican primary, with Yost as chief of research and Matt Rhoades, another veteran of RNC opposition research, as campaign manager. No one in the Romney organization would comment. *****************
....."Frustrated rivals think they know the secret: a low-profile, hard-driving Republican operative named Matt Rhoades, who is Romneys campaign manager. Rhoades met Drudge, as POLITICO Editor-in-Chief John F. Harris and co-author Mark Halperin reported in their book The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008, when he became research director of the Republican National Committee and was introduced by his predecessor on a special trip to Miami. Rhoades has since been seen as a pipeline to the reclusive Drudge, who now has two veteran Washington reporters working on the site as well.".... Source

I’m sure American citizens love Perry’s job growth for illegals. Bet his Ag buddies do too.

[snip] Dynamic Tax Score for RickPerry.org, Inc. Proposal:
Based on the higher GDP estimates forecast by the dynamic scoring exercise, the Perry proposal will not only lead to an increase in overall economic activity and jobs, but will also lead to higher federal revenues in the long term. In fact, the analysis suggests that revenues could be as much as $406.8 billion higher than under the static model by 2020, and could be as high as 19.5 percent of GDP. The dynamic score of the proposal suggests that lower flatter taxes could generate both more revenue than the current tax code, and significantly more economic growth over time. With increasing demands on the Federal government from growing entitlements, higher pension expenses and interest on the debt, it will be necessary to increase the size of the economy and the tax base in order to generate significantly higher revenues. Table 7 shows how the Perry proposals would do this over a seven year period. [snip] Tax Proposal Score PDF

And why is a nut job like Paul beating him?
The real question is “why is a nut job like Paul beating all the other candidates except Gringrich and Rommey”?
Must be something in the water, reckon? Or it could just be the candidates that are in the race.
‘tense, have a happy, prosperous and blessed New Year. Don’t take this campaign so personal to let it tear at your soul and fabric. The sun will rise tomorrow and the day after and God’s will will be done.

Governor Rick Perry (R-Texas) has pointed to job growth in Texas during the current economic downturn as one of his main accomplishments. But analysis of Current Population Survey (CPS) data collected by the Census Bureau show that immigrants (legal and illegal) have been the primary beneficiaries of this growth since 2007, not native-born workers. This is true even though the native-born accounted for the vast majority of growth in the working-age population (age 16 to 65) in Texas. Thus, they should have received the lions share of the increase in employment. As a result, the share of working-age natives in Texas holding a job has declined in a manner very similar to the nation a whole.
Among the findings:
- Of jobs created in Texas since 2007, 81 percent were taken by newly arrived immigrant workers (legal and illegal).
- In terms of numbers, between the second quarter of 2007, right before the recession began, and the second quarter of 2011, total employment in Texas increased by 279,000. Of this, 225,000 jobs went to immigrants (legal and illegal) who arrived in the United States in 2007 or later.
- Of newly arrived immigrants who took a job in Texas, 93 percent were not U.S. citizens. Thus government data show that more than three-fourths of net job growth in Texas were taken by newly arrived non-citizens (legal and illegal).
- The large share of job growth that went to immigrants is surprising because the native-born accounted for 69 percent of the growth in Texas working-age population (16 to 65). Thus, even though natives made up most of the growth in potential workers, most of the job growth went to immigrants.
- The share of working-age natives holding a job in Texas declined significantly, from 71 percent in 2007 to 67 percent in 2011. This decline is very similar to the decline for natives in the United States as a whole and is an indication that the situation for native-born workers in Texas is very similar to the overall situation in the country despite the states job growth.
- Of newly arrived immigrants who took jobs in Texas since 2007, we estimate that 50 percent (113,000) were illegal immigrants. Thus, about 40 percent of all the job growth in Texas since 2007 went to newly arrived illegal immigrants and 40 percent went to newly arrived legal immigrants.
- Immigrants took jobs across the educational distribution. More than one out three (97,000) of newly arrived immigrants who took a job had at least some college.
- These numbers raise the question of whether it makes sense to continue the current high level of legal immigration and also whether to continue to tolerate illegal immigration.

More likely his part-time congress idea is terrifying the wits out of gov_bean_counters such as yourself.
Go count gov beans on your own time at your own cost.

California lawmakers going to Iowa to support a Texas governor. Wow.
1. Who in the right mind would have ANY California lawmaker stump for them? California might as well be part of Mexico.
2. Another set out 'outsiders' brought into Iowa to tell Iowans how to vote. Brilliant.
I swear Krusty the Clown is running Perry's campaign.

Yeah, right. It shows Perry has no grasp of the Constitution AT ALL. He just tosses out crazy crap, just like the ‘I’ll deport illegals’ line not long ago. Will he start by going after those he gave in-state tuition to?
