Mitt Romney Campaign: Rick Perry Has No Jobs Plan

Romney Campaign Releases Perry 'Jobs Plan'

Mitt Romney's presidential campaign took a swipe at Rick Perry on the economy Thursday, releasing a 114-page document called "Rick Perry's Plan To Get America Working Again" -- with 103 blank pages.

The document's cover shows Perry pointing a gun up in the air. It also includes one page of "early praise" comprised of several quotes from mostly conservative commentators attacking Perry for his debate performance.

The actual plan consists of one page of Perry quotes from a September speech and a GOP debate -- all in Comic Sans MS font -- such as "Don't spend all the money" and "Zero personal income tax is very good."

The Romney campaign uploaded the plan to the document-sharing site Scribd Thursday. However, Romney aides were handing out paper copies before a Perry town hall last week in New Hampshire.

With New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin announcing this week that they will not run for president in 2012, the top candidates for the nomination remain Romney and Perry. A recent Washington Post/ABC poll shows Romney getting 25 percent of support of Republican voters, while Perry gets 16 percent.

Perry's camp responded to the Romney campaign's attack to Politico: "I think they are confused and handing out a book of issues Mitt Romney hasn't flip-flopped on," said Perry spokesman Mark Miner. "Governor Perry has put policies in place that have made Texas a leader in job creation."
