Rick Perry's Gardasil Problem

His willingness to allow states to force homosexual "marriage" is also a big problem.

Here is a frightening article about Gardasil. As it turns out, more females die from Gardasil than will die from cervical cancer. Also, the vaccine does not prevent all types of HPV, so cervical cancer screenings are still necessary. http://www.cogforlife.org/gardasilMerckAdmits.htm

Using emotion to cloud facts. Typical liberal. Oh and hey, a dear firend died from cervical cancer. Gardasil would not have saved her. But if you believe the government knows what’s best for you and your family, you go ahead and support Perry. Hell, why not just support a democrat!

[Ramius]

Yes, we’ll be way better off keeping Obama than electing somebody like Perry. The gardasil issue in Texas is just so much more important than pulling our economy back from the brink. It’s about priorities!

All of the republicans seem to have some defect and none of them align perfectly with my own views. Until that happens we may as well donate to Obama’s re-election, huh?

[rintense]

And here we go with the same sorry, ‘would you rather have Obama’ meme. If that’s all your camp has, don’t even get in the race.

“was the state director of an advocacy group bankrolled by Merck to push legislatures across the country to put forward bills mandating the Gardasil vaccine for preteen girls.”

...which used to be called Bribery Of A Public Official, a felony.

[lonestar]

It should be noted that it was well known by Texans BEFORE he was re-elected.

The Somos Republicans are a pure pro amnesty group who called him the number 1 hispanic friendly US politician in the 2010 election cycle.

Governor Rick Perry is #1 Hispanic-friendly U.S. Politician of 2010 Elections

Somos Republicans encourages the GOP to use the "un American" tea partiers and then toss us aside.

How Un-American is the TEA PARTY

Are they so “irrational” and merely a self-centered group revolutionary geezers that do not hold American ideal and thus attack our American values—Democracy, Capitalism and Constitutionalism. Strategically, it seems like the right thing to do for Republican to utilize the Tea Party to diminish Obama’s agenda. But it is also time for Republicans that realize that this people merely using the flag colors as facade to promote un-American agenda . While they do have the right to dissent, sadly, their agenda pushed by special interest in Sacramento and D.C. do not embody the original best American values.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Yeah, let’s keep Obama.

[Round 9]

Yeah! To Hell with that stupid 10th Amendment and State’s rights when it goes against our conservative wishes.

[stilloftyhenight]

What isn’t tough to prove is that he supported mandatory vaccination. I don’t care what he believed, where does he have to power to force it on Texans? That is tyranny. Smacks of Obamacare, doesn’t it?

[Grizzled Bear]

Perry’s usurping parental rights over vaccinations is enough for me to dislike him.

The problem with your theory is that if Zero can overturn the DOMA the 14th Amendment kicks in and EVERY STATE has homosexual "marriage."

[aMorePerfectUnion]

“His willingness to allow states to force homosexual “marriage” is also a big problem.”

There is no National Constitutional definition of marriage. We came close, but were sold
out into accepting a law instead. I knew it was a dumb idea.

Perry is correct, unless corrected by the Supreme Court, that it will be decided state by state.

Only a mouth breathing half-witted crack head would believe Perry is our only chance to defeat Obama.

Is Perry your only hope to defeat Obama, or are you being a drama queen?

[Ramius]

Well, I hate to break it to you, but that is going to be the choice and it will always be the choice. After the primary the choice will be one or the other, and nomatter who it is I’m sure our guy will be somebody that part of the conservative movement finds “unacceptable”. —Nomatter who it is. Ronald Reagan would be pilloried by most of FR if he were running today.

The left wins in this country because they’ve learned to be happy with imperfectly socialist candidates and incremental changes pushing the country leftward. The right loses because we want it all or nothing, all at once. In our woefully imperfect republic, that’s just never going to happen.

[wagglebee]

To Hell with that stupid 10th Amendment and State’s rights when it goes against our conservative wishes.

Just out of curiosity, are you on board with FR's opposition to the homosexual agenda or would you prefer to see homosexual "marriage" imposed on the entire country?

Because from what I can tell, you are pushing the homosexual agenda via some misguided libertarian philosophy.

[Round 9]

Still a state’s rights issue. Let it be taken up in court. As a Conservative I cannot subjectively apply the 10th only when it suits me.

If you don’t like how the 14th may be applied then it is imperative to support the GOP candidate nominated. The next 4 years is extremely important as far as the USSC is concerned. The most RINO of GOP nominees is going to choose better than Obama. And, if he/she dares to nominate a Kennedy type, with all of the support of a Tea Party strengthened Senate, we can “Miers” the nominee.

[Ramius]

I never said Perry is our only chance. Hell, I don’t even know much about him. But that’s not the point. Substitute whatever name of any of the republican candidates and I’d say the same thing. We have no idea who the primary winner will be... but it doesn’t matter because precisely zero of them are “pure” enough. That’s how we will lose, again, and against one of most easily defeatable first-term Presidents in History next to Jimmy Carter.
