he way to fix illegal immigration is to ban anyone who comes into our country illegally from ever becoming a citizen of the U.S. and therefore banned from ever voting.
Now there is an excellent post!!!!!
No, he commended her effort in April, before we even knew about the closed door meetings with insurance execs. This was long before the hearings and outline of the plan in August, 1993. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/forum/may96/background/health_debate_page1.html
We did know that she had an unprecedented power. Then-Agricultural Commissioner Perry asked her to remember his constituency and to call if he could help.
I use the information in the following link to determine who I will vote for in the primary:

Whomever follows the “individualism” examples the most gets my vote.
Agreed. I told someone else last night who was worried about his Billion dollar war chest, that the people aren't going to vote the candidate's pocketbooks - they're going to vote their own.
The economy is the ONLY issue right now, and it's Obama's Achille's Heel. That's why the MSNBC moderators never brought up the biggest subject on the planet tonight. Their messiah's record on the economy is completely indefensible, and they know it.
...this guys not done yet and he's going to be revengeful I think.
Look out for what he tries to do when he officially becomes a lame duck pResident.
What kickbacks? And remember that Perry raised $20 million in campaign donations that year.
Private insurance won’t pay for “opt in” vaccines. Medicaid, CHIP, Indian Health Services and Vaccines for Children were already paying for Gardasil.

Yea, I did. Thanks for reminding me...but I'mm be working so just as glad not to hear bozo...recaps do well for me.
Let the liberal outlets push Rick Perry's ponzi stand. It will only win Perry some votes from our younger generation that are sick and tired of paying into that ponzi scheme knowing they will never get anything out of it.
Get the ponzi word out there - lose a few socialists but get more of the younger voters
The Vaccines for Children program made the vaccine free of charge to Medicaid, CHIPS, any girl not covered by insurance or whose insurance did not cover vaccines.
I wonder why your announcement covered 1-3 of the EO, but not the 4th paragraph, which made it easier to opt out of vaccines by making the request for the official paperwork available over the internet?
Hepatitis B is only spread through blood and body fluids, yet we give babies the vaccine when they’re born.
One third of people who contract Hep B, develop chronic Hep B. Half of them will end up with cirrhosis and liver cancer.
In reading several of the umpteen gardasil threads here, I learned that if any vaccine is mandated, it is covered by medicaid (under whatever TX state name). If it’s not mandated, the patients/parents have to pay for it. As I understand it, getting the vaccine at your doc’s is upwards of $300. The problem, of course, is that the poor, i.e., medicaid-insured, are those most likely to be susceptible to contracting the disease.
There is the argument to be made (as it has) that a vaccine encourages the behavior. I wouldn’t say it encourages the behavior, which would be conducted in any case. Perhaps having a vaccine paid by the state condones the behavior. But not having the vaccine would not stop it, and there would be a high incidence of what I understand is a truly hideous disease.
In a free country, why would someone have to sign an “opt-out” to keep the government out of your daughter’s sex life? How in the world is government interference in a personal medical issue conservative? It's not, and you know it! As an adult parent "I" make the choices for my daughter's well-being NOT you and NOT PERRY! I don't care if they sent the slip for opt-out home for me to sign on a golden platter - IT IS NOT THEIR RIGHT TO DETERMINE THAT MY CHILD IS AUTOMATICALLY OPTED IN!
Explain to me how infringing on personal liberty and privacy is conservative and while your at it point out to me in the Constitution what gives government this right.
At least Aunt Clara would be more coherent than the Punk or RuPaul. Uncle Arthur for Veep!
Well being a first debate for perry it was no surprise the camera was on him...and Romney the MSNBC's favorite. It was there show after all.
But no candidate was about to give much for the talking heads at MSNBC, nor te moderators as far as that goes. They all knew tey were on 'enemy territory' who controlled it for the most part. They' weren't going to give anymore than necessary into the hands of Goo-dough or her side kicks to use their daggers on. I wouldn't have either. I think the idea was to maintain and lay pretty low....and they did so.
It'll be a different picture when they get on their own turf!
Exactly...and you wouldn't say much there either, neither did the candidates.
Try a Perry thread.
Thanks for that link! It went into my Sarah for President file. Great article with lots of wonderful comments following.
Didn’t accuse you of lying. You perpetuate the lies out there or completely distort issues. You do that because you have your own agenda.
BTW...Since you are accusing Perry of taking rights away would you mind backing that up with your source please. You do have one don’t you? Because you don’t lie so I’m sure that statement can be carved in stone.
