While former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney take aim at each other, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is hoping to get in on the action with an ad that targets both rivals for supporting individual health-care mandates.
Trying to claw his way back into the top-tier of the GOP presidential race with only three weeeks to the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses, Perry ties his rivals to President Obama in the new ad and the big government liberals.
We dont want government-mandated health-care, the narrator said. Yet, Newt Gingrich supports it, and Mitt Romney, he put it into law in Massachusetts.
The ad ends with President Obama signing his health-care law and concludes with Perry saying, I wont let the big government liberals ruin this country.

The best yet!!! :o)

I stole one of yours. :-)
No, you were doing the very things you whine about others doing to you.
HA! That mm is a most unpleasant person, one of the worst.
You've got that right, FRiend.
Must suck to be her.
They guy hit him pretty hard. I think it was good as far as it went, but Newt is vulnerable far beyond that, and I think it would have been far more effective if he had included other material too.
Production value was fairly decent IMO.
I appreciate the link.
LOL! I love it!
I’m willing to bet both of our mothers would have liked Agent P. ;-)
They certainly would have, and rightfully so! ;-)
HPV is an STD vaccine unlike the vaccines you have mentioned. There’s a difference there especially when a governor attempts to force people to receive it. Personally, I could care less either way about the vaccine. It’s Perry’s hypocrisy that I am pointing out.
Good, thoughtfull comment devolve.
What do you think Hep B is? It’s only transmitted by blood and body products.
It’s the Legislature of the State of Texas which has chosen over and over to mandate vaccines - like Hepatitis B which is given to neonates, and then twice more by 6 months of age.
There’s no true comparison between state mandated vaccinations for children who cannot consent or refuse to protect themselves from disease as long as there is the ability for parents to defer and a the requirement that adults all purchase health insurance or any other product deemed to be good.
Significantly, to me at least, is that both the Hep B and the Gardasil vaccines are ethically produced, while others, like measles and chicken pox are manufactured using less than ethically pure cell cultures.
I got paired with Rick Santorum on that test...
I got paired with Santorum as well. I have a feeling that had “fieldmarshaldj” been included as a 2012 presidential candidate, I would have been paired closer to you than to Santorum. : )
BTW, I question some of the determinations by ontheissues.org regarding candidates’ issue positions. For example, Bobby Jindal (my second-closest match) was classified as being “strongly opposed” to free trade based solely on his House vote not to ratify the Central American Free Trade Agreement. Now, I supported CAFTA, but it is quite possible that Jindal voted against CAFTA due to some parochial Louisiana issue (such as sugar) but would support other free-trade measures. And Michele Bachmann was listed as opposing keeping drugs illegal just because she voted against a bill to provide more money to the Mexican government to fight the drug trade. So we need to take some of these “matches” with a grain of salt.
I’ve taken every one of those internet tests that I could find. Never liked that one, it’s buggy and it never gives me a very high match.
Heh, well... Imagine me as a Presidential candidate. The RINOs and the left would go into hysterics. ;-D
Yeah, I agree on some of the questions. A few of them I couldn’t give definitive answers on as some need to be studied to see what the best approach is. What bothers me is that the media always expects (of Republican candidates, at least, never their beloved Democrats) a Presidential candidate to have knowledge of every imaginable issue under the sun, which is simply impossible for most human beings. That’s why a President has advisors. If they knew everything, there’d be no need for advisors, Cabinet members, et al.
