This one better?
If Governor Palin hadn’t resigned, she could have vetoed this.
I see you are intent in trying to make a point. SO if the US taxpayers were already mandated to pay for this vaccine why would Governor Perry need to issue his own mandate.
Mandates are tax increases and NO taxpayer was offered an OPT out from paying the tax increase.
Tea Party is the opposition to taxes/mandates without representation.
Your headline is misleading. It says it was issued on 9/13/11, but it is from 2007.
Care to try for two in a row?...LOL!...:oP
“If Governor Palin hadn’t resigned, she could have vetoed this.”
why would she want to do that? She is pro-life.
No better.
Still lame propaganda.
I can hear that dissonant whine of the zot gun warming up...another mis-leading headline...some never learn...:oP
The Texas people are saying the feds wouldn't pay for it unless a mandate was issued. Why that would be different than Alaska I cannot say for certain. It might have something to do with population. Regardless, if Perry is a "crony capitalist" on this matter so is Sarah.
Perry 2012: Everybody Does It.
But whatever
Perry is not a crony capitalist, neither is Sarah and there is nothing wrong with gardasil. Now can we please move on to more important things?
Monday night with Greta Van Susteren "On The Record," Sarah Palin completely exploded the notion, advanced by John Fund and other pundits, that she would endorse Rick Perry for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination. Commenting on the CNN/Tea Party Express debate, Gov. Palin praised Rep. Michelle Bachmann on calling Gov. Perry out for crony capitalism over his executive order mandating the Gardasil vaccine for young girls in Texas. Gov. Palin said that among the tens of thousands of her emails released from her time as Alaska's governor, are her instructions to that state's health department that her administration would not mandate such vaccines be given to teenage girls. She pointed to the situation whereby Perry's former chief of staff went to work for pharmaceutical giant Merck, maker of the Gardasil vaccine, which stood to make millions from the Perry mandate, saying, "That's crony capitalism."
The former GOP vice presidential candidate also gave kudos to Newt Gingrich for making a case for eliminating government waste. She said she was "getting a kick out of" watching the candidates bring up the same issues in debates just days after she had talked about them in her speeches. Overall, however, Gov. Palin's verdict was that the candidates performed well, and she restated her opinion than any of them would be a big improvement over President Obama. The night's big winner, in Sarah Palin's opinion, was the Tea Party, which she said received validation from a major news network by virtue of CNN's partnering with the grassroots movement for the debate.

I believe the “crony capitalism” (which sound like corruption to this humble poster) is mentioned because of what seems from the description, to be a conflict of interest.
So you’re really just full of baloney.
Actually the Texas governor decided he would mandate Texans to pay for the vaccine... None of them were offered the option to OPT out of that tax hike. Then apparently the Governor received a campaign contribution from the drug company.
Sarah did NOT mandate the citizens of Alaska to do squat, Health & Social Services agency announced to the qualified citizens per the FEDERAL government what was being offered as claiming it to be 'free'. I have yet to read Sarah had any contact or took campaign donations from the drug company.
This 'crony capitalist' is about elected politicians mandating/taxing US while taking campaign donations from so called capitalist. There is NO evidence that Sarah did any such thing, which is why she pointed to her emails.
Now has the Governor of Texas release alllll his emails? I did not think so.
It’s from the state of Alaska, not propaganda.
There are over 20 states that require or fund HPV vaccinations.
