It never came to fruition and he apologized for not doing enough research.

WTH more do you want?

“WTH more do you want?”

They want Ron Paul or Romney or Newt! Or blood! Anybody else who they fantasize is perfect.
I haven’t decided who I will vote for in the primary yet. I know that it will NOT be Paul or Romney or Newt.
I’m still sifting through whatever I can find and I do look through some of the links posted on here,
but after the 50th time someone posts the same links and hysterical blabber I get turned off. I live in Texas
and I know Rick Perry’s record and believe me he has warts but a whole lot of the crap that is posted and
repeated is blown way out of proportion. The primaries are still months away.
And the election is over a year away. And all this hand wringing is already getting to be a pain in the ass!

Uhh, how about trying to apologize to all those he trashed and condemned when he was rebuffed and defeated in his attempt at dictating public policy instead of trusting the people via the legislative constitutional process?! His so called apology just sounds so hollow and nearly meaningless in view of what has been revealed to date on this subject.

What Perry says now:

“I made a mistake on that,” Perry told Iowa Radio later in the day Monday, calling it “an error in not having a conversation with the people of the state of Texas.”

“I agreed with their decision. I don’t always get it right, but I darn sure listen,” he said of the legislature responding to his decision.

“One of the things I do pride myself on, I listen. When the electorate says, ‘Hey, that’s not what we want to do,’” Perry told Houston’s ABC affiliate on Monday. “We backed up, took a look at what we did. I understand I work for the people, not the other way around.”

What Perry did and said then.

Not only did Perry defend going above the heads of elected state legislators, but his office also falsely claimed the legislature had no right to repeal the executive order. “The order is effective until Perry or a successor changes it, and the Legislature has no authority to repeal it,” Perry spokeswoman Krista Moody told The Washington Post in February 2007.

When both the House and Senate repealed the law six weeks later, Perry did not — as he now claims — listen humbly or “agree with their decision.”

Human shield demagoguery. In response to the legislature’s rebuke, the infuriated governor attacked those who supported repeal as “shameful” spreaders of “misinformation” who were putting “women’s lives” at risk. Borrowing a tried-and-true Alinskyite page from the progressive left, Perry surrounded himself with female cervical cancer victims and deflected criticism of his imperial tactics with emotional anecdotes.

He then lionized himself and the minority of politicians who voted against repeal of his Gardasil order. “They will never have to think twice about whether they did the right thing. No lost lives will occupy the confines of their conscience, sacrificed on the altar of political expediency.” Perry, of course, has now put his own ghastly Gardasil order on that same altar — but with no apology to all those he demonized and exploited along the way.

Slick Rick’s “apology” sounds sounds like Obama’s apology for not realizing the economy he inherited was as bad as it was.
