Uproot and Overhaul Washington
The Perry Plan: Energizing American Jobs and Security

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has challenged the women conservatives love to hate — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — to a public debate next week.
In a letter obtained by The Hill, Perry requested that the pair meet for a debate during Perry’s visit to Washington next week to compare the plan he rolled out this week to “Uproot and Overhaul Washington” with the current system.
“I think it would be a tremendous service to the American public to see a public airing of those differences,” he wrote. “Let the people decide.”
Perry’s challenge comes just days after his roll out of his plan to reform Washington. A central piece of his plan is a part-time Congress with half the salary and office budgets.
“After increasing the debt by $4 trillion in less than three years no one can truly believe that Americans are satisfied with business as usual, and that a permanent political class in Washington can get us out of the mess you and your colleagues have created,” Perry wrote......
......Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill told The Daily Caller that the minority leader will address the challenge in her weekly press conference Thursday morning.

I guess Perry now thinks he is running for minority leader of the house....
So he wants to debate someone that isnt even running for president?
Can these people concentrate on Obama and stop with these stupid debate stunts?
Perry has the right idea now.
Every one running for office wipes the floor with him in a debate, even nutburger Ron Paul.
Perry has got to debate someone that will make him look good by comparison, even if that means it has to be someone not running.
This is a scene from “Dumb and Dumber”.
I’ve been saying all along that we need bi partisan debates. There’s no better way of telling whether a candidate can handle the opposition than putting them up against actual opposition.
Who cares what this clown wants.
Well, it’s a creative idea, but I doubt that she’ll take him up on it.
Posting useless, childish insults isn’t exactly up there with rocket science and brain surgery, friend.
Is he trying to make Pelosi more or less relevant?
She could always beg off to concentrate on her insider trading portfolio.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

NO WAY this morons handlers would ever allow that to happen and even if it did, what does it show.
I agree with another poster who said we are running against O dupa, not the minority leader, or even the janitor.
Get over yourself. It was meant as a joke. Get a life.
“Pelosi fires back at ‘60 Minutes’ report on ‘soft corruption’”
“Pelosi and her husband participated in an initial public offering of Visa in 2008, according to CBS. They bought 5,000 shares at the initial price of $44; two days later, shares were trading at $64, CBS said.”..........
Yeah, imagine the both of them "losing" their train of thoughts during the debate.
Why? For what purpose? This is nothing more than a distraction intended to draw attention he is otherwise not receiving.
Plus, Nan would eat him alive. Do you honestly think she’d play patty-cake with him when he starts to hem and haw all over the place?
You must have missed this Perry/ Paul exchange at the Spartanburg debate last Saturday -

I am not sure of the wisdom of Perry trying to challenge Pelosi for anything.
