Personally I could care less about why Gardasil is being given out on the taxpayers’ dime in public schools.
Not a good idea.
What if it were turned around?
Ditto!!! Lived in Texas for 56 years, born and raised. This article is right on the money.
It wouldn’t be me...I am remembering what happened to the Rudy fans here at FR and all those postings relating to Rudy...if Jim Robinson gets upset enough...he’ll just do it...so all I’m doing is giving fair warning...
The thing about Ron Paul is his actions are opposite of his rhetoric. He is King of EARMARKS.

Alto this is a Free, American exclusive site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty conservatives, I don’t think Jim is that concerned with deciding who can or can’t put in their 2¢ worth be it lies or truth as long as they behave themselves. IMO
That’s as bad as what Kerry was suggesting about the Tea Party.
I’d like to see them gone, but that’s life.

The United States is on the verge of a public health crisis. For decades, all 50 states have required that parents vaccinate their children against various diseases, including polio and measles, as a prerequisite to enrolling them in public schools [1]. While virtually all states have tailored their immunization statutes to exempt those with religious (and sometimes philosophical) objections to vaccines from these requirements [2], widespread use of these exemptions threatens to undermine many of the benefits of mandatory vaccinations, such as preserving “herd immunity” [3]. Since it is unlikely that state governments will eliminate such exemptions outright, society must consider other methods of providing incentives for vaccination and compensating those who have suffered due to a disease outbreak caused by a community’s loss of herd immunity.
All I know is what happened to many of my good FReeper friends and their support of Rudy. I believe most were allowed to return after a few months...but most would not return and have gone else where. I’m not arguing over this just stating facts of what I’ve seen in the past here at FR.
Actually, it was you who suggested the owner of this site get on the case of those freepers who would question Perry’s credentials. I thought that was a bit, shall we say, pusillanimous, this early in the game.
And posting photos of the graves of dead servicemen is not helping me to your cause, either.

Very nice.......THANKS!!!
That one is worn out!
Who do you speak and sound like? Just asking.
What’s kind of funny is there are a whole lot of Americans on the left would like to have W back because of his low unemployment record and decent economy...well, they can now have Rick Perry. That Texas accent maybe more attractive than most realize. ;o) They may be counting on this to stop Perry...but I think it maybe opposite.
Gently?????
Gently????
Did you hear Rove on Fox yesterday criticizing Perry and "gently" promoting Romney?
I can't stand Karl Rove!
Agree with you.
The author of your article writes, “It was easy for me to vote for Perry since the alternative(s) were either uber-RINOs in the primaries or liberal Democrats in the general elections.” This is wrong — certainly in the case of Debra Medina, at least.
“It’s ludicrous to think that some asinine statement like “Gardasil, Perry blew it – ‘nuff said,” deserves any consideration.”
True — but read Michelle Malkin’s excellent column on the subject, which I linked. Mandating Gardasil for preteen and teen girls is terrible policy, and definitely not conservative in any way. The opt-out provision was a fig leaf, buut not a real option. Gardasil does have serious safety issues, as many have pointed out.
Perry’s former chief of staff was a lobbyist for Merck at the time.
It doesn’t require belief in sme conspiracy to oppose the Trans-Texas Corridor, as the writer of the article knows but pretends not to. Public-Private Partnerships are not conservative; they are how liberal politicians fund a lot of pet projects, and they almost always wind up costing taxpayers money.
Furthermore, I’m concerned about the overuse of eminent domain, especially to benefit private parties. Apparently, you’re not.
“Those too young to remember wouldn’t recognize the Al Gore of 1988.”
I am old enough to remember, and yes they would. He was the same opportunistic socialist then that he is now, except the dementia hadn’t taken full hold. But if you look at Gore’s voting record as a Senator, not his campaign rhetoric, it’s consistently left-wing.
As for job creation, Gov. Gary Johnson had a better job-creation record in New Mexico, and he did it without a timulus and without a significant increase in the state government. Perry had both.
Since education is cited, would Perry even attempt to abolish the Department of Education, or even repeal his predecessor’s disaster known as No Child Left Behind, written by Ted Kennedy, which greatly increased Federal involvement in education — a Federal involvement that is toally unconstitutional?
The writer admits that “Perry has raised about half a dozen taxes during his tenure.” So he’s not the tax-cutter he pretends to be, then. Will he cut our taxes as President or raise them? His history says he’ll raise them.
The writer also admits that “ Perry supports giving in-state tuition to illegals.” And he has recently defended that position, while caliming he wouldn’t support that as Federal policy. That’s the same tightrope-walk Romney is doing over healthcare. You can’t have it both ways, especially on an issue of that importance. Sorry, on illegal immigration Perry is just not trustworthy.
Sorry, but the DREAM Act is a nightmare. In any version. And giving in-state tuition to illegals rewards them for teh illegal act. That kind of attitude , along with the Obama Administration’s refusal to prosecute the Black Panthers, create a disrespect that undermines the foundations of the law — and that leads to things like this flash mob in Maryland.
He took a stand against adopting an Arizona-style immigration law.
See the link I posted for a discussion of his realtionship not with Muslims, but with jihadist sympathizers.
on teh first two issues discussed, Gardasil and the Trans-Texas Corridor, Perry flip-flopped in a less than principled way. If he had his way, he’d most likely still do those things.
As I said, it’s not a very conservative, or principled, record.
[ The thing about Ron Paul is his actions are opposite of his rhetoric. He is King of EARMARKS. ]
WELL nobodys perfect... but I’m for Bachmann the only realistic candidate..
A woman can win against white guilt and other ditzy political errors...
Heck many even think Romney is not a brain hemorrhage..
