BETTENDORF, Iowa - An early copy of Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry's government reform speech shared with the Des Moines Register shows the Texas governor is planning to propose widespread changes for the federal government, including term limits on federal judges and Supreme Court justices, a part-time Congress, and laws criminalizing insider trading.

The governor first previewed the reforms in a speech Monday evening at an event by the Scott County Republican Party, where he said, "Washington doesn't need a new coat of paint, it needs a complete overhaul." Today, he will deliver the details of his plan in a speech at the Schebler Manufacturing facility.

“Perry = Done... Stick a Fork in him... It’s over”

I would like to see Republicans campaign for America, and not just a job. That campaign for America would include sharing ideas, melding ideas, coming up with the best ideas for America. George Washington was a doer, Thomas Jefferson was a thinker - we needed both of them.

No problem; happy to do it.

La Raza Rick and his handful of supporters need all the help they can get.

Now forgeting what 3 federal agencies you would elimante tells everyone that it was NOT your idea. He memorized it and can’t even do that. The guy is an embarassment and cannot debate in his own party. Thus, the 7% poll rating.....

Yeah...and that Libya video he did was down right emabarassing! Oh, wait...no that's the other one.

Federal workers would suffer a similar, if less severe fate: Their salaries would be halved until the budget is balanced.

So Perry is going to tell some poor E-5 on his umpteenth tour in Afghanistan that the wife and kids back home will have to get by on half his former salary?

“...And we will say to every bureaucrat except our military and law enforcement: no salary increases until the federal budget is balanced. And because a president must lead by example, we should cut his salary in half until the budget is balanced.”...

As opposed to Cain’s “Libya? What’s Libya?” performance, Perry’s little episode of brain lock looks pretty inconsequential.

Uhh... He has to win a debate in his own party first.

Oh and someone needs to tell him to quit boozing it up the night before a debate. It makes him forgetful.
