This is the silliest liberal article I’ve ever read.
(though it included an opt-out),
This was the end of this retarded ‘issue’ for me.
It seems that Perry is actually doing something the others in the race aren’t—he’s running a general campaign while the others are running a primary. Instead of the Nixon “run to the right in the primary and to the left in the general” Perry is positioning himself as someone who’s a lot more conservative than Obama, but he’s not one of ‘those wackos on the far-right’.
Bachmann is playing that role, and Perry is saying, “Hey, I’m on the right, but not THAT far right.”
Of course, this is where his immigration position comes in, and where my enthusiasm for him suddenly drops like a rock.
One can always find a good excuse for overextending the reach of government.
Government by good intentions. All is well,admirable, excusable and praiseworthy--even the crony capitalism--because it was intended for "the good". (It's for children. It's against cancer.) It is the core rationale of Leftist governing philosophy in a nutshell.
I don't know which is sadder--the argument itself, or the fact that this is posted on a conservative web site by a conservative with the intent to defend a supposedly conservative candidate.
And the idea that a Gardasil vaccination promotes promiscuity defies logic. If the only way you think you can keep your children from having pre-marital sex is by scaring them about diseases and then refusing to inoculate them against those diseases, your parent card should be revoked.
This is not, despite what Saint Sarah says, an example of crony capitalism. If, at the time, there had been two companies offering the same vaccine, and Perry had chosen the one represented by a close acquaintence, the accusation might be accurate.
But that wasn't the case. Merck was the only provider. The mere fact of doing business with someone you know is not always "crony capitalism". The term implies showing favoritism to one company over another.
There's your money quote right there.
The vaccine is not the issue. The issue is that Perry didn’t even bother to go through the legislature.
Instead, he issues an Executive Order, as though he was king, to mandate this pig in a poke on young girls in his state.
What would Obama do? Same damn thing.
"Science-believing audence," presumably the morons who believe in global warming and evolution.
Nevertheless, an otherwise surprising article from a MSM source.
But let Rush Limbaugh “hit Perry where it helps:” (what an imbecilic article and even more benighted author)
“If you look at him (Perry) as governor of Texas he's been fully willing to use the power of state government to advance his beliefs. When it comes to the federal government he wants no part of them. I don't know how he would be when he ends up there if he ends up as president.”
-nobody knows el Rushbo and that makes him dangerous--this unknown along with his recalcitrant and anti American disrespect for the rule of law as it applies to the illegal alien invaders makes him just another status quo politician like Romney.
Sans Sarah,Michelle Bachman and Herman Cain are the only two REAL conservative candidates who can,in spite of desperate Leftist and RINO lies, not only whoop Obama’s butt but also restore our nation to Reagan sanity.
Let’s us ignore dear Ricardo Statist Pherry’s LOVE for all illegal immigrants—AND his love for Muzzie Sharia law.
Concentrate on all the BS, instead.
“But since the product’s widespread use would be in the public’s best interest”
As decided by whom? Merck and the FDA?
“Judicial Watch Uncovers FDA Records Detailing 16 New Deaths Tied to Gardasil
Records Document 3,589 Adverse Reactions Related to Gardasil between May 2009 and September 2010, Including 213 Cases Resulting in Permanent Disability”
So what does the “science” really tell us about Gardasil?
...we are unveiling its crowning jewel. I am proud to announce that the state of Texas is investing $20 million from the Texas Enterprise Fund to help Countrywide Financial...--Governor Ricardo Perry
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
He makes a great point, though, in that the Gardasil matter will shut up all those who think Perry is "anti-science"
Wow. That's quite an admission. If only all Editorial Boards would admit their Liberal bias.
One wonders about the sillyness of some writers.
That’s a gem. Thanks!
