An “optional vaccination requirement”...
An optional requirement? Is that like dry wetness?
He signed the executive order, and now he wants to backpedal.
This man does not deserve our votes.
Explain where the above posted article supports your position.
I am just as bothered by his “stance”.
But, could you please educate me on which politician deserves your vote based on the criteria you set regarding “backpedaling”?
At the least it does not look like Perry researched the ramifications of his action very well, and it’s ironic that the schools at which the most trouble with this ethically and morally problematic vaccine would have arisen were private institutions which are often religious. Why didn’t Perry bring all this up when the initial brouhaha arose?
He definitely falls behind Bachmann in the pecking order, but is ahead of Mitt.
When is an executive order not an order, but an “executive suggestion”?
A governor has NO BUSINESS mandating that children be required to be vaccinated against STD. Period.
This is very troubling insight into the role-of-govt mindset of Rick Perry.
In October 2007, despite their political differences on many social issues, Perry endorsed Rudy Giuliani for President. "Rudy Giuliani is the most prepared individual of either party to be the next President... I'm not talkin' about any mayor, I'm talkin' about America's Mayor," Perry said.[93] Some conjectured that, if Giuliani were elected, Perry might have been considered for a position in the new President's cabinet, or perhaps the Vice Presidency.[94] However, Giuliani withdrew from the race on January 30, 2008 after failing to gain support in early primaries. Both Giuliani and Perry immediately endorsed Arizona Senator John McCain for President.[95]
This guy was still a Demonrat all through the Reagan years. He was Al Gore's campaign manager in 1988.
I think he's just another opportunist career politician who flipped and flopped and knows that conservative rhetoric plays well in today's Texas.
This guy is a Statist.
You jump on a trivial controversy and pompously declare that sanctimony requires Christ like perfection defined by you.
Such an attitude is not acceptable
