I'd say "it depends." I can imagine misplaced trust and other issues being involved, so don't jump to blame the principal.
-- I think Perry opponents overstate the Gardasil matter ... but his supporters gotta stop the spin as well. --
My approach is to read the source evidence for myself, then I can figure out which posters are spinning. Most of the posts at FR are crap, as you appear to have figured out too ;-)
-- Palin is right, the revolving door between government and corporations is a big part of the mess we are in right now --
Yes, she is. I am much more impressed with her, than I am with Perry. I trust Palin. I do not trust Perry.
I'm wondering who you'll support in the primaries? I like Sarah Palin, but she's not a candidate, and if she runs, I don't think she'll win the nomination. Is Mitt Romney your default candidate, then?
