Perry's fiery 'Fed Up!' may come back to haunt him!

[Logical]

Maybe Rick Perry's not so "Fed Up!" after all.

Just nine months ago, the Texas governor released a rhetorical bomb-throwing book under that title. He dismissed Social Security as a New Deal relic that smacked of socialism. He said states' rights trump all else. He suggested that the Supreme Court's nine unelected "oligarchs in robes" could have their rulings overturned by two-thirds votes in both houses of Congress.
Now that the Republican is running for president, his campaign has begun distancing itself from some of the candidate's own words on issues such as Social Security and states' rights.

Pulling back won't be easy because "Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America From Washington" is anything but the nuanced list of general positions that fills the pages of most presidential candidates' books.

1. And it's not an ancient tome, written in his youth.

It was published last November. He has to either radically flip-flop, admitting he was wrong only a year ago, or stand by it. Neither are good for him.

2. From his book Perry writes...

"By any measure, Social Security is a failure". No hiding those words from seniors.

3. Perry is a cartoon character. Embarrassing. I

sometimes wonder if he is just treading water until the Manchurian candidate is ready for prime time. Is he a lull before the storm?
