And in agreement with drawing the line in a sensible place, notice absence of news about Santorum's pile-on? He not only said implementation via EO was wrong, he also said the mandate was bad public policy.
SANTORUM: I think we need to hear what Governor Perry's saying. He's saying that his policy was right. He believes that what he did was right. He thinks he went about it the wrong way.I believe your policy is wrong. Why -- ladies and gentlemen, why do we inoculate people with vaccines in public schools? Because we're afraid of those diseases being communicable between people at school. And therefore, to protect the rest of the people at school, we have vaccinations to protect those children.
Unless Texas has a very progressive way of communicating diseases in their school by way of their curriculum, then there is no government purpose served for having little girls inoculated at the force and compulsion of the government. This is big government run amok. It is bad policy, and it should not have been done.
I agree with Rick Santorum comments because he is absolutely right. He hit a home run. I don’t trust Perry. This about helping women is an emotional thing, that he put out in the public; knowing people would connect emotionally/like a good liberal/it’s the thought that counts/not so much as the result or the fact about our own right to make our own decision. Big daddy Rick. You’re right, too, Bachmann should had come prepared.
