The fact is there was an opt-out. Yes, it was a mistake by Perry, and yes, he admits it was a mistake. These things happen when you have over a decade of executive experience, and I for one was glad to see Perry show he learned from that mistake.

You and Palin can spin it anyway you want, but clearly Palin had no major issue with this last summer when she was rah-rahhing for Rick Perry. I can only assume Palin had an ulterior motive when she slimed Perry last night.

“Yes, it was a mistake by Perry, and yes, he admits it was a mistake.”

Well, at least you admit that much. Most won’t.

When did he admit it was a mistake? The last I saw was him sliming the Legislature over killing this and calling them murderers.

I’m really not talking about Perry or Palin, only about people who call the ability to “opt out” the same thing as “parental rights”. I do believe that Perry has learned from that mistake and don’t necessarily hold it against him, but it does make me a bit gun shy of the guy.

Not before he excoriated those who were voting to override him as “shameful” spreaders of “misinformation” who were putting “women’s lives” at risk.

Don't know about you, but it reminds me an awful lot of how people against Harriet Myers were sexist and people who were against amnesty were 'nativist'. If you think that kind of behavior is going to turn around the mess we are in, please do your country a favor and think again.
