So he sold himself cheaply?
Prove it that “he sold himself”.
You cannot.
You can state unproven assertions all day. You cannot prove it.
So, who cares you prate endlessly on about “he sold himself for so little”.
The point makes itself.
Selling yourself means, you would have never, ever done the thing you did except for the fact someone paid you to do it.
Perry obviously thought this was the thing to do, and it is just as obvious that it is beyond stupidity to suppose that he did it because of a miniscule, miniscule campaign donation.
I can prove what I say.
Here’s the proof.
Perry was forced to drop the whole thing. People say it was the legislature...no, the people of Texas contacted their reps and demanded they stop it. It was a huge embarrassment then for Perry and it remains a huge embarrassment for him today. If Perry had only known...if he had only been able to predict that he would suffer this rebuke and embarrassment from his own citizens, he would have never done this in the first place. If only he could have it back, now. If only, but he can’t. He can only say, I was wrong.
Which is unassailable truth, that Rick Perry was not bought into doing this by Merck, but did it because he thought it was the correct thing to do and that the people would not object to it but would welcome this addition to the school vaccine program.
Again, repetition is how we learn. That Perry would never have done this if he had realized the people would rise up against it, proves he thought it was right and would be approved by the people.
Which proves he was not ruled in his head by Merck and a teeny tiny nothing of a campaign donation, but ruled in his head by his own lights of what he thought was right and how he thought the people would receive it.
He was wrong. He says so. Put down the club and stop clubbing.
Or, keep right on clubbing and making stuff up, and reveal yourself for what is making YOU tick.
