Voter ID was good, I'll give him that. It's those pesky pro-open borders/pro-ILLEGAL alien, Gardasil things that I just can't seem to get past.
And he didn't 'cave' on Gardasil; if you think so you are grossly misinformed. He was defeated by the Texas legislature when it passed HB 1098. And Perry didn't let it go easily.
On May 8, the day the law [HB 1098] went into effect, Perry held a press conference surrounded by women touched by cervical cancer. He bemoaned the tenor of a debate that he asserted had been "hijacked by politics and posturing," and blamed future cervical cancer deaths on those who opposed his mandate -- many of whom were fellow Republicans.
In a grand flourish, Perry thanked the small minority of legislators who sided with him: "They will never have to think twice about whether they did the right thing. No lost lives will occupy the confines of their conscience, sacrificed on the altar of political expediency."
