“Rick Perry gave the discount rate to illegal children”
I don’t want to be overly contentious, but the fact is that the bill granting the discount passed with OVERWHELMING majorities in the Tx legislature.
So, unlike the Gardisil thing, this isn’t something Rick Perry did, it was something the people of Tx (through their elected reps) did.
Right or wrong (and for me I’d say wrong) it was their choice, not a fiat by Perry.
I don’t understand why Perry hasn’t said this at any debate.
But, then again, trying to understand Perry’s behaviour at the debates would require me to become a psychiatrist, or something.
I didn’t say it was by fiat, I said it was wrong.
Polls have shown that even half the hispanics are against it.
Because Perry was FOR IT (STILL IS) and he SIGNED it. It's not like they overrode his veto.
