The agenda has to be realistic. What Perry is putting out for all to consume this early in the 2012 election is unrealistic. Part of being a good candidate is realizing that you DO NOT put all your cards on the table, especially not this early in a campaign. You also DO NOT tip your hand to your opponents, especially this early in the campaign (opponents also includes Obozo). Reagan gave out enough of what he proposed to work towards to potential voters during the campaign, but never gave all his goals out.
Iowa is in 7 weeks. This isn’t all of his agenda either. If anything it shapes the conversation. People are pissed off at the greedy vermin enriching themselves while they took a major financial hit.
Gov Perry has won every election he’s entered.
How many times have you been elected to office? Run a campaign?
Well, Perry’s quite serious about steamrolling and ball-wrecking the Establishment. There’s really no effective way to sugar-coat or nuance that.
So he lays out his hand.
