Mr. Perry's dictatorial executive order to force it upon 12 year old girls is very consequential and not a sign of a leader we can tolerate.
Mr. Perry's reaction to the Texas Legislature's take-back of his overreaching EO is quite telling. At the time the Texas Legislature revoked his order, Perry acted just like Obama, arrogantly truculent, refusing to accept honest rebuke, using play actors and straw dogs to isolate himself like a MacBeth in his Castle, mocking his opponents with naught effect but folly.
But worst of all is the reaction post-debate of the Perry supporters. Some much of it is the horrid and detestable "STFU" reaction, or arrogantly dismissive statements like "those who are against it are the dangerous people", "[opponents] deserve pity and ridicule", or "[opponents] can't comprehend what this is all about/i>".
Bullying behavior. We've sen it in the Global Warming Scam, we saw it here in Pennsylvania in the GOP whenever Spector ran for Senate. The party bullies insisted, demanded, enforced Spector support in the primaries and said to the Toomey supporters "STFU", "get outta here".
Well after he won reelection Specter defected, and all that internal GOP bullying resulted in the enemies gaining control of the US Senate.
Bullying on behalf on your choice of candidate is a sure poisoning of the community well. It is incredibly destructive.
