While Ron Paul attacks Newt Gingrich for being a flip-flopper, Newt Gingrich attacks Mitt Romney for his too-liberal record and Mitt Romney attacks Fox News for being "overly aggressive," one GOP presidential contender is focused on the issues that matter. In a new ad, Texas Governor Rick Perry compares President Barack Obama's rhetoric on energy to that of former President Jimmy Carter showing that little has changed in over 30 years.

"It's almost 2012. And we're still addicted to foreign oil," Mr. Perry says in the spot. "It's almost 2012. And we're still addicted to foreign oil. President Obama and Washington? All talk. No action. I'm an outsider so I'll step on a few toes if necessary to reopen our oil and gas fields. Let's eliminate excessive regulations. That will create over a million jobs."

In a statement released with the new ad, Perry campaign communications director Ray Sullivan said, "Governor Perry's top priority for revitalizing domestic energy is becoming energy independent. This new ad underscores his commitment to utilizing all of our country's national energy sources and creating American jobs."

Granted, that information may not be as entertaining as bashing fellow Republicans or the media, but for GOP primary voters interested in actual issues like US energy policy and jobs, it's probably more useful.
