Perry Injudicious

In his recent book Fed Up: Our Fight to Save America from Washington, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said some off-the-wall things that will come back to haunt him.

The Washington Post's Ruth Marcus has rounded up a few of these views with which to frighten the voters, particularly seniors. Her haunted house favorites appear in an article for RealClearPolitics.

Perry says when he wrote the book he had no intent of running for president; I believe him. He apparently has espoused some ideas that are out of the mainstream, even for the Tea Party. If Marcus is to be believed, Perry would limit the federal role to defense and not much more.
