Some Questions for Rick Perry

Most of the Republican candidates are bashing Governor Perry for his comments on Social Security, while giving him a pass on some other issues where I, for one, would like some answers:

1. Governor Perry, you tout your record for creating jobs in Texas. In reality, Texas simply "stole" these jobs from other states, most notably California. Does your definition of "job creation" include transferring jobs from other states? How many of the jobs that Texas "created" are actually new jobs, and not merely taken from somewhere else? And -- how do you think the voters in California will react to this "job creation" effort?

2. Governor Perry, it wasn't so long ago that you were leading an effort to have Texas secede from the Union (not that we would miss you). Given that effort, isn't it just a wee bit hypocritical for you now to be saying that you're the right person to be the leader of this great nation?

Just askin'. Somebody's got to.
