This would be a Huckabee/McCain style republican...
Requiring the vaccination CHILDREN for a disease that comes from sexual contact - in the name of preventing future cancer that is thought to be brought on by ONE variety of this particular disease....
If parents want to vaccinate their children - that is their business, but to require it is just wrong. What ever happened to teaching children about right and wrong? Oh - that would require some sense of responsibility and accountability. Do too much of that and we won’t have need for the government....
Why start at 6th grade ? Why not start at Kindergarten ? And as for the boys , why not hand out condoms to 5th graders (since traditionally boys become active earlier than girls) ?
On a totally unrelated topic, hasn’t the gov also endorsed Mccain ?
Yes, sad to say that this is where our Chief executive of Texas places his priorities. Meanwhile, we have ten times more Texas citizens being taken hostage and killed by Mexican drug gangs than 6th grade girls dieing from HPV.
The man’s a pandering fool and a protege of Bush. That says it all.
You're also a pathological liar, governor. You know the dispute isn't about the vaccine's being "available": it's about the vaccine's being required. And it's about the $$$ you got from the manufacturer, too.
Enthusiastically, to the point of admonishing Huckabee to give up and throw his support to McCain and "dictating" to his Texas constituents to "get behind McCain".
Perry is in his own little hair salon world.
First, he was behind Guliani. When he dropped out, he put his support behind McCain.

Sorry ‘bout the double post. My mouse has a mind of it’s own sometimes.
“Folks, we have some real prizewinners in the GOP.”
That’s a polite way of putting it.
That used to be called bribery.
Geez, I’m tired of these GOP Fascists who want to use the power of the state for their personal brand of evangelical do-gooderism.
Now it’s called “campaign contributions,” although to be fair, it probably always was to some extent. I think most politicians are owned by someone; the trick is figuring out who!
Term limits would nice - that would make buying politicians more expensive.
But boy was I ever wrong and not just in a small way.
Perry like his predecessor El Presidente Bush has bent over backwards to pander to the Mexicans and to the left of center Democrats.
Perry in my estimation thought that by being a fringe conservative that he someday could be like Bush and run for president.

Every death FROM the vaccine nullifies a death FROM the cancer.
Pap tests are still the best and will still be needed because the vaccine doesn't address ALL the causes of cervical cancer. So forcing women to get a vaccine that might kill them when there are safer ways of addressing cervical cancer, is really irresponsible.
If he’s so pro-life, what’s he doing to restrict abortions that kill thousands of baby girls and sometimes their mothers from the procedure. What a hypocrite!
Yes, he endorses McCain. The Texas governor’s race had no viable contestants, either. I am starting to see a pattern here.
Campaign contributions are legal, up to a certain amount. But unfortunately for the governor, bribery is not.
