Considering that nobody had to take the shot if they didn't want to, I wouldn't consider that much of a mandate. But I guess that's different.
The Smoking Man is still searching for his Smoking Gun.
This Cain implosion is getting quite noisy, don’t cha think?
Rick Perry was governor of Texas for 11 years. He did a fine job and was re-elected against a pretty popular old gal named Kaye Bailey Hutchison.
I like Kaye but Perry is much more conservative and the voters decided on him.
During those 11 years, Perry did maybe 3 things that the haters have glomed onto.
The gardisal thing ... that’s been explained about a million times but Perry haters don’t care. I won’t bother explaining it again.
Then the Perry haters delight in calling him LaRaza Rick and implying that he is a lover of illegal aliens. I think it took courage to speak to that group and was something a governor should have done since they are something of a force in the state. Perry spoke to them but he didn’t cater to them.
And, well, that’s about it ... a pretty dang good record for eleven years in a huge state that has more problems than Arizona or California with unwanted immigrants.
If anyone really wants to know the whole Gardisal story, he or she can find out the truth.
