In 2005, the Texas State Legislature passed HB 1823, which allowed people with a Contract for Deed to refinance their mortgage and convert the Contract for Deed to a Deed of Trust. They were then able to get out from under the terms of the contract, transfer title to their name, and assume full responsibility for their property and their lives. There were a number of steps homeowners had to take to comply with the law, and they were obviously responsible to pay the mortgage, but it gave homeowners greater power over their property.
ACORN, which supported HB 1823, praised the Legislature and Governor Perry for passing it.
So when folks go around bashing Governor Perry for signing these bills just because ACORN supported one of them, it tells me they are all hat, no cattle, and a person to be pitied. They are obviously not a Texan.

The only reason gaurdasil became an issue in Texas is that we are in the Bible belt aned many fundamentalists got really upset at the notion that their darlings might have sex.
They got so wee weed up that the couldnt give a darn that there was an opt out that was so easy you could do it standing on your head.
Gaurdisil is a non issue.
He wasn’t handing out condoms to sunday school kids.
He was trying to limit vaccinateable problems.
Jonas Salk is considered a great man.
My biggest nightmare is that I continue to support Palin, she enters the race, she splits the conservative vote, Romney wins, and then everybody blames me and says I was using a RomneyBot trick to drag Sarah Palin in the race to get Romney elected. Then I get banned.
My worst fear is that it could happen, if we all tear down each other’s conservative candiddates in the hopes ours is the last one standing, all of them may be so damaged that Romney breezes in with 40% of the vote, like McCain did in 2008.
Which would be a shame, because at least 4 of our announced candidates, and Sarah Palin are more conservative than any of the final three candidates from last year.
I will also add one of my other fears, that if Palin wins the nomination, since the MSM has been so successful in the past at ruining her image, plus her actual lack of experience and her poor track record, Obama can and will win against her.
It is a political reality. It matters very little how good a person she is in her personal life. As a politician, she is below average and raises deep concern from all sides.
Robert Bork, often considered an originalist, has likened the Ninth Amendment to an inkblot. Bork argued in The Tempting of America that, while the amendment clearly had some meaning, its meaning is indeterminate; because the language is opaque, its meaning is as irretrievable as it would be had the words been covered by an inkblot. According to Bork, if another provision of the Constitution were covered by an actual inkblot, judges should not be permitted to make up what might be under the inkblot lest any judges twist the meaning to their own ends (cf. * Underdeterminacy (law)).
They were nudged a bit by Perry’s enemies and the people who hated the easing of the Opt out process in the same Executive Order.
The trouble is that the latter group is now forced to act as though mandatory is wrong on one, single, vaccine. That didn’t stop them from pushing mandatory menningitis vaccines for college admission.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the pro-abort, pro-sex-plus crowd was furious to discover that Governor Perry acted on Gardasil. After all, they’ve been saying that the pro-life, pro-abstinent, pro-family conservatives hate sex and think everyone who has sex outside of marriage should get an STD and die.
I actually love doing the research. Sometimes I find truth, and it informs me. IN the case of Perry, I’ve learned a few things that do make me think. But most of the attacks, as I look behind them, are shallow, petty things. Even in the cases where they are “literally truthful”, they are really pale shadows of what is claimed.
But it gets so tiresome sometimes. It’s not easy to track down pdf files from texas records to find the sale price of comparable homes in 2001. I don’t pay for special access to information, and some things just aren’t on the web.
I’m pretty good at a google search, because I’m good at thinking up the odd word that will get me a short list of results. One thing I’ve learned with the perry attacks is, they aren’t being made up here — when I do my searches, I keep hitting page after page of results, all with the exact headlines, and the same paragraphs of charges. It’s clear these are the daily left talking points being thrown around, but that means I’ve got to read the sites to see whether they link to source (rarely), or have a quote that I can use to find the source (sometimes), or some other keyword or name I can use.
For a few, I’ve given up — I’m learning nothing of value from tracking down their charges.
I did go check out the two letters that supposedly showed some secret, hidden truths about Perry and immigration. Turns out one was about his opposition to the Arizona law in Texas, which we’ve discussed for a week here, and was widely publicized and therefore hardly secret. The other was a conservative group’s e-mail discussing Perry’s 10th amendment stand and stopping marxism and leftists, and something about religion — NOTHING about immigration at all.
Of course, I give them a pass for that, since Politico actually claimed both letters discussed immigration, when the 2nd seems to clearly have not. But only somewhat of pass, because they DID trust Politico, and that’s a mistake anytime you do so.
Perhaps you might not assume that I commented without troubling to read the article.
Photoshop credit Michelle Malkin. (Right click upon photo still reveals source.)
So kindly spare me the human shield demagoguery. Because, as Malkin (a long time FReeper, BTW) notes, the more we watch, the more Governor Perry's campaign strategy evolves as:
1. You ought to spend more time attacking Obama instead of questioning Perry.
2. It never happened and/or Perry owned up to it and/or Perry never should have done it.
3. Don’t be such a purist.
4. What do you want? Perfection?
Now, please read my post about yesterday's personal activities in this thread; perhaps you'll understand: Saving 0bamacare from BIG Pharma for $6000.00 and the win, Axel(rod).
Who is Mike Toomey?

He certainly didn’t get rich from Merk. His 2010 net worth was only about a million bucks.
All I care about is that Perry, capitulated to the masses while giving people the option for the vaccine.
Malkin is not always correct.
She certainly is always incendiary and provocative in her debates but then so is Coulter.
I suspect neither could get elected.
You cant regulate stupid.
Well, gee. If you guys there in Texas love him so much, why don’t you keep him? Problem solved. You get perry, and we don’t have to worry about him bringing Texas moneybags into the Whitehouse.
And perry did not capitulate to the masses. His legislature forced him to back down. He was not happy about it either.
All I know is these people are rabid.
I dont want a rabid President.
Take a look at Obama money bags.
Guardisil is such a NON issue.
Don’t blame Palin for some of her supporters. I think they mean well, or at least i hope they do.
Huh? Oh, that’s a good strategy; question Malkin’s journalistic integrity. Unlike the MSM, in the rare case Malkin erred, a correction is published and noted IN the original article.
Regardless, neither Malkin nor Coulter is running for POTUS; Governor Perry is.

(OLA attending Chicago African Arts Festival, hmmm?)
I never blamed Palin.
I like her.
Its these Perryphobes that concern me
