As I understand, she didn’t mention Perry’s name. Although if the shoe fits, wear it.

Did you watch watch what media commentator Palin said on Monday night? Here is some information for you.

Palin even went as far as to lend her voice to the charge leveled by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) during the debate against Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R): That he allowed a law to go though requiring HPV vaccinations for adolescent girls because of a $5,000 campaign donation and his relationship with his former chief of staff, who went on to lobby for a pharmaceutical company.

"I knew there was something to it," Palin said of learning while she was Alaska's governor that her Texas counterpart had given the go-ahead to the vaccine. "Now we're finding that now, yea, something was up with that issue. It was an illustration or bit of evidence of some crony capitalism."

I'm just wondering why Palin and Bachmann aren't following up on this charge. Could it be internal polling telling them they actually lost support because of it?

As an enabler, you would not see RINO behavior
if it was tattooed to you.

"The vaccine, Gardasil, is manufactured by Merck,
which was represented in Austin by the lobbyist Mike Toomey,
who was chief of staff for Mr. Perry from 2002 to 2004. "

2007
On 2/7/07, the WSJ reported that Merck was desperate for cash.
With estimates that the settlements Merck will owe for its Vioxx litigation
will amount to approximately $970 million, and the expiration of some of its patents,
Merck faces a huge cash flow problem.
But if Gardasil is mandated, Merck will generate sales of approximately
$1 billion in the first year alone, with 5 year revenue projections of up to $4 billion"

---

2007
In 2007, when Texas governor Rick Perry issued
an executive order that all girls entering the 6th grade
would receive Gardasil, parents were furious.
Some argued that the vaccine would promote promiscuity.
The order was eventually overturned."

There's nothing to follow up on there Carling, Perry was bought and paid for by the drug company.

Bachmann and Palin are right, end of story.

I guarantee Palin’s charge of crony capitalism is sticking. I was ready to put Perry on equal footing with Palin until not only Gardasil showed up but other swirling tidbits. I now suspect RP = GW Bush 3.0

You mean it’s wrong for her to speak the truth about Perry, but it’s OK for all the Perry guys to attack her?

This kind of stuff really doesn’t help Perry.
