They want a different GOP primary candidate than Perry and so they will flood every thread with these posts.

I see you still have lying as part of your routine as well. I have said on this thread that Perry is my second choice and that if he gets in, I don't see Palin getting in, and vice versa. So in a way, they are tied for first choice for me, as I don't see it coming down to a choice between the two.

But I also know you were pulling this same lame crap with Rudy in 2007. Don't pretend the issues do not exist. Address them.

[Diogenesis]

Thank you.

I had no idea it went to the sixth grade level.

Unbelievable.

[JaneNC]

True. It is so childish , too.

[dirtboy]

But truthfully FRiend, is this really that big of an issue?

It is if you think about it. DC is big on mandates. I'd like to see where Perry disavows the mandate approach.

I believe it would be better to go on to bigger, more important things. We face much bigger problems than nit picking on small errors like this.

Well, I have to respectfully disagree that it is a small issue. But I also disagree that it is a disqualifier. Like I said, IMO it is a strike, not an out. But it would behoove Perry to show where he is now against that kind of a mandate. I think he got caught up in the do-good mindset with the mandate. But DC is full of such temptations, and I would like to see where Perry would resist them instead of going along with so many the way Bush did. Once again, fair or not, Perry will have to distance himself from Bush's flaws. I think he can, but that is not done by pretending the issues do not exist.

[JaneNC]

The article is anti Christian, too.

I don;t think she was talking about you. It’s obvious that you point that out. So, try not to be so reactive. I don’t see that in you at all.

Perry attended Texas A&M University, where he was a member of the Corps of Cadets, a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity

Um, this is impossible...

In 1967 an exploratory luncheon on the campus of Texas A & M University at College Station between members of the AGR's "Standing Committee on Extension," AGR alumni on the faculty and university administrators concluded that the climate was not conductive for Greek organizations. The culture of the "Corps," known as the campuses' largest "non-Greek" fraternity, and an absence of other fraternities would make the going very difficult.

A decade later circumstances had changed dramatically. Women comprised forty-seven percent of the 28,000 undergraduate student body. On campus were nine new sororities, four national men's fraternities and five fraternity colonies. A February 1, 1975 letter from Fred McClure, National FFA Secretary and an Aggie student, to Maynard Coe asked about the possibility of forming a chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho.

There were no fraternities at A&M when Perry attended. You might need to double check your sources.

Rick Perry’s actions are there for you to see and for me to see. His entire life is an open book. He wanted a sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer combated.

And Dems want health care for everyone. And kids to not be overweight. And a host of all kinds of other agendas that usually include some kind of mandate.

We all know how the road to Hades is paved. I want to see from Perry that he won't be laying the mandate asphalt if he becomes president.

BOTTOM LINE:

“RP65 – Relating to the immunization of young women from the cancer-causing Human Papillomavirus.

Rules.The Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner

The definition of mandate is a command by a person,
group, or organization (the ‘mandator’) to another
(the ‘mandatary’) to act in a particular way, or here
to ingest, inject, imbed a poison or other substance
they do not want and for which informed consent was
never taken.

Uh, dude, she was responding to your post where you responded to me. She pulls this insinuation crap all the time. Realize you are dealing with a former Rudybot here, complete with all the lame tactics that such used to pull on FR.

[dirtboy]

I am not disagreeing that Perry's EO mandated Gardasil.

But the claim has been made that Perry 'obviously' had learned from that episode. I'd like to see evidence of such. It would go a long way IMO towards putting this to bed. Politicians make mistakes. Let's see if Perry learned from this one.

[grey_whiskers]

I'll take "Which one of these is not like the others" for a visual for $2000.

And my response is "Who is Our Lady of The Tundra"?

Cheers!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Those are some very good points you make. But politicians, like all other human beings, they make mistakes.

If the issue proves to be as big as you say, then I think Perry will admit to it. He does maintain a high level of honor and honesty, being the Air Force Captain (And pilot) that he is.

I certainly don't fault a fellow Brother in Arms who holds true to the code his entire life. And Perry is definitely in that category.

[grey_whiskers]

The credit for Texas' economic success and its jobs boom belongs with the Democrats, not Perry.

And by "Democrats" I mean the ones in Sacramento.

Cheers!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

So, you are saying that the fact that Texas has a very business friendly atmosphere has nothing to do with it?

I dunno. I'm wondering if Obaama was ever a Populist or was always a mere puppet.

I am not opposed to Perry. But he has to realize that a few of his actions (Gardasil, Trans-Texas corridor, his opposition to a border fence) raise concerns. I would like to see him drop the anti-fence routine - there is a reason why there is a fence around every secure facility. Fences by themselves don't accomplish security, but are an integral part of security in-depth.

I think the TTC was another good intention gone awry moment as well.

I think Perry means well overall. But once again, we know how dangerous good intentions can be in DC where they get mixed with all kinds of other agendas. I'd really like to see Perry address how he would stand up to the temptations in DC. I agree he is an honorable man overall, and got to where he is on his own labors and not his last name. His warts are surmountable if dealt with in a good, constructive manner.
