"When both the House and Senate repealed the (vaccination) law six weeks later, Perry did not — as he now claims — listen humbly or “agree with their decision.”Human shield demagoguery. In response to the legislature’s rebuke, the infuriated governor attacked those who supported repeal as “shameful” spreaders of “misinformation” who were putting “women’s lives” at risk. Borrowing a tried-and-true Alinskyite page from the progressive left, Perry surrounded himself with female cervical cancer victims and deflected criticism of his imperial tactics with emotional anecdotes.
He then lionized himself and the minority of politicians who voted against repeal of his Gardasil order. “They will never have to think twice about whether they did the right thing. No lost lives will occupy the confines of their conscience, sacrificed on the altar of political expediency.” Perry, of course, has now put his own ghastly Gardasil order on that same altar — but with no apology to all those he demonized and exploited along the way."

Yes, good info there. It’s hard to figure out which part of this is the most infuriating, but the whole demagoguery thing is so reminiscent of Harriet Myers and Shamnesty. We were ‘sexists’ or ‘nativists’ for daring to oppose that. It tore the party apart for the sake of political backs-cratching. Unforgivable.

Nice deconstruction of Perry’s gardisil nightmare, DNMFOHE.
Perry’s imperial tactics are nasty and anti-democracy.
He refuses ro take responsibility for his actions.
Guy lives in a self-absorbed vacuum——
it’s all about him and his obsessive quest to climb the political ladder.
