Perry calls Social Security 'monstrous lie' - PEGGY FIKAC

http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Perry-calls-Social-Security-a-monstrous-lie-for-2144460.php

More worrisome than that:

On foreign policy, Perry when asked about Israel cited a statement by Obama that Israel-Palestine borders should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps - a position Perry called "throwing Israel under the bus."
"I'm going to stand with Israel," he said.
Asked whether he'd consider preemptive strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, Perry said there are "a lot of different ways to deal with Iran," including diplomatically and financially, But he added, "I'm never going to take off the table our ability to have a military solution to a country like Iran."

The image of Perry in control of military decisions and military action is a chilling specter. If he executed a man who might have been innocent, just so he could appear "tough", how do you like the prospect of that man deciding whether your country will be at war?
