You're going to find fault with whatever Perry does because your mind is made up that you don't like him.

Your argument is one way of interpreting things. I could suggest to you that Perry was the absolute LAST candidate to decide to run and get into the race. He was/is also an acting governor. The other candidates had many more months (or years) to implement a jobs plan, a tax plan, and so on.

I could also argue that his plan(s) WILL be available for debate, in the upcoming debates. Do you recall Huntsman was asked for his jobs outline during a debate and he explained that it wasn't completed yet? He came out with one later.

Cain and Romney have had the luxury in retirement to plan and develop ideas from the peace of their living rooms and a nice Cuban cigar.

Perry's energy plan came out between the previous debate and the debate this week. I could argue that rolling out a plan DURING a debate could give a candidate more shelter because nobody has had a chance to review it and attack it.

Come on, man!

I have very good reason to, but you know what? There is a group of Perry supporters here who are astroturfing like mad for Perry, posting as many pro-Perry and anti-everybody else threads as they can. If they are going to keep up this campaign to whitewash Perry and to try and downplay other candidates, then it's our duty to respond in kind.

I could argue that as Governor for 10 years, he's thought a lot about these things. As for him being the last candidate, it was obvious well before he formally entered that he was going to run. He had a group assembled, and they were holding meetings. A lot of these people were people from his 2010 campaign.

You do realize that Perry campaigned quite a bit for much of 2010, right? The election was less than a year ago. And some of those same people are running his campaign this year. Last year he spoke plenty about jobs and energy, among other things.
