RINO?

Big talk for a man who says he will vote for Obama.

Do you know who James Earl Rudder is? I mean before he came to Texas A&M? Do you know Texas A&M’s condition when Rudder arrived? [This is not a challenge. This is about the “big picture.”]

Dear FRiend AppyPappy,
I said,

"We will vote for Obama before the RINO Romney (*)....
At least Obama is more honest.
.... (*) and write in Gov. Palin's name first."


please, stop taking it out of context as you have done
by incorrectly removing what was written.
AppyPappy: "Big talk for a man who says he will vote for Obama."
because YOU KNOW that is not what the post said.

I’ve answered your lies and your character assassinations. You think it’s productive to disrupt my threads. You don’t want others to follow what I’ve found.

It’s typical Leftists’ tactics.

You fear others might learn something, so you feel by clogging up threads with your posts, FReepers won’t want to stick around.

You come on my threads (where I provide information and LINKS) meant to educate fellow FReepers about a GOP conservative (as I have also done for Sarah Palin) and spam them with multiple Gardasil HPV vaccine links, titled to make a shock statement, thinking FReepers read headlines and not the content.

My conclusion: You’re a bully and you hold contempt for others, and see FReepers as too stupid to read what I’ve put out there — lazy and merely content to buy what you’re selling.

What are you selling Diogensis?

Obama 2012?

I'm not a mind reader but it strikes me that Gov. Rick Perry truly believed the HPV vaccine would have helped a lot of Texans who otherwise would not have gotten this protection against cervical cancer (it was to help with 3 strains of the human papilloma virus HPV).

Rick Perry's wife Anita Perry was a nurse for many years and still is involved in health care as First Lady of Texas, so I imagine health care is something this governor is more aware of than maybe your "average" governor and understood this to be a vaccine that would combat cervical cancer and cut heath care costs.

Then too Rick Perry grew up hard scrabble with little luxury as many have, yet vaccines traditionally have been made available to all.

Instead of applying the worst motives to Rick Perry, perhaps his critics could consider that his motives were good ones.

Another FReeper had some thoughts on this issue.

However, there are some here on FR who prefer to apply the worst motives to Rick Perry.

The most "vocal" either won't name a candidate they would support; say they would vote for Huntsman or Romney over Perry; say they would rather Obama stay in the White House than vote for Rick Perry.

The HPV vaccine was always Opt-Out. And according to this report had been changed to Opt-In, before being dropped entirely.

90 days after his EO, Gov. Rick Perry let stand legislation undoing the EO.

"..Ann Hettinger, Concerned Women for America's state director of Texas, was instrumental in convincing Perry to change his proposal to an opt-in provision. When asked if Perry's original plans for the HPV vaccine would be an issue if he were to run for president, [Penny] Nance [CEO of Concerned Women for America] replied, “It would've been an issue IF HE HAD NOT FIXED IT.”

Our professors concentrate on bringing money into the university via writing or grants. Graduate Teaching Assistants do the teaching.

Exactly!

The universities use them as "rainmakers" to bring in the students and their $$$$$!

That’s exactly what it said. You said you would vote for Obama rather than the Republican if it was Romney. A vote for Obama is a vote for Obama.

And you bash Perry????!!!

To your post #26:

I asked a respectful question (post #2) and got no answer
after you revealed yourself as snarky (post #4) without
answering.

Upon review, you were found to be claiming something
for your candidate Gov. Perry which had nothing to do
with him based upon what was at THAT url (post #10).

So you attacked me.

You say you have fear that others might learn the truth about RINO Perry, although you might mean
that you have fear that others might learn that you
are plagiarizing for him
(like you did on that other thread).

Why are you bringing up Gardasil?

To your post #27:

Why are you bringing up Gardasil?

The REAL point of what is behind these posts is original intent--not what
ultimately happened. RINO Perry's seeming intent was to
(1) reward his political allies inc. Chief of Staff and his Merck employer and
(2) to essentially shove an untested drug into the bodies of
his constituents’ pre-pubescent girls. Girls. So where was his
due diligence? Where was the informed consent?
Is there an iota of evidence that he did really care? Most importantly,
what would he do on a national level, if given the power.

Many on this forum are still waiting to hear Gov. Perry
begin to finally address this issue.

"You bear false witness. That is not what it said.
"It said I would 'write in Gov. Palin, before that'."

I’m very interested in Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, and Rick Perry. I’m somewhat interested in Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum.

But by the time my primary is held (NC) there may be no Republican on the ballot, at all!

I’m looking at Perry now as the biggest obstacle to taking back the White House in 2012, because I’m afraid he could win the primaries, thereby stopping Palin—and then he’d certainly lose to Obama. (The rest of the country is nowhere near ready to vote in a meaner-talking W.)

But I’ve got to defend C’s Wife here. She’s merely giving the info on the reform program that Perry is supporting and this group just attacked him for supporting. Nothing indirect or dishonest in her presentation.
