Yet again, Rick puts gets money coming and going....Is there no end to how corrupt RICK PERRY can be?

Nomiate a TRUE CONSERVATIVE, not a CORRUPT FAT CAT who makes south american dictators look honest.

BTW, the Texas HOUSE AND SENATE voted overwhelmingly to OVERRIDE Slick Rick's "purchase order" to his buddies for dangerous vaccines to be forced on schoolgirls.......Glad we have SOME conservatives in Texas.

You posted an AP article? Without the source? And no excerpt???

5, 4, 3....

This is SO WRONG. Supposedly the vaccine only has a 5 year “coverage” and this can only be spread by CONTACT of a sexual nature. It also has some deaths connected to it.

How did he sign it after they overrode it? That is confusing... and fast.

Merck is bankrolling efforts to pass laws in state legislatures across the country mandating it Gardasil vaccine for girls as young as 11 or 12.

If it had passed they would have extended it to boys by now.

Link? This is AP, excerpting only. Sheesh, you must really hate Perry.

[Mac n Jac]

This is the 2nd posting you've made about Perry that “looks” like it is current when it is actually several years old.

I can't stand Perry either but posting things without their date are a little disingenuous.

I thought this was a dead issue.

What is the source of your article?

This appears to be the original article from 2007.

First few paragraphs are word for word identical text.

“Texas Gov. Mandates Cancer Vaccine for Girls”

Someone is committing fraud. My guess a Dem.

First of all, there was an opt out clause in the original exeutive order. It was never in reality “mandatory.” My son and his wife have opted my grandkids (ages 15 and 16) out of ALL vaccinations here in Texas, and have attended public and private schools here. It is always the parent’s choice, and Perry even stated that in an interview, saying parents would have the final word and they could opt their children out for religious, scientific, or any other reason - the final decision rested with the parents. So much hysteria about something that happened 4 years ago. But the lies continue. And I am a conservative, and I did not approve of what Perry wanted to do, but I knew it was not really mandatory, either.

Perry’s ties with Merck are fair game, but the hysteria over a “mandatory” vaccine that was never mandatory in reality is just silly. Once again two of my grandkids have NEVER received any vaccinations in their entire lives as their parents opted them out for religious reasons, and they have attended both public and private schools here in Texas.
