I wont second guess your judgment. It may be moot since Boehner is probably not going anywhere soon anyway.
Especially ranchers whose cattle are watered on the river.
I think that the minimum qualification for President should be that the candidate has to actually be pro-American. L. Ron definitely doesn’t meet that criterion.

I see where you are coming from. I homeschooled all three of mine until they went off to college. I home schooled because I would not give my children to the government to raise. It is THEIR school when we do that, and I would not pass one lick of my rights to them.
However, why was it not just an opt in? Here is what I understand: Perry chose it as a mandatory, opt out vaccination because .. if a vaccine is considered mandatory, it is covered by insurance companies. An opt out made it available without the $150.00 to $160.00 cost per child. If a parent wanted it, it was covered by insurance. If not, they could opt out.
If the vaccine has been set up as a recommended or suggested preventative health practice, which would have been handled as an opt in, and the parents had WANTED to have their children receive the health vaccinations, the parents would have had to have paid the total cost of vaccine on their own without the help of the insurance company payment.
The opt out created a situation where the parents who didn't want the vaccine could opt out but those parents who did would have it covered by their health insurance.
Whether you like the vaccine or not, it is good to know why Perry set it up that way. He didn't want the parents to have to pay the high costs on their own which an "opt in" would have done.
I think he was crystal clear. It is you who seem to have the issue, dear.
GO START YOUR OWN INNOCULATION THREAD.
HA.
He made his point, he received criticism, he answered it.
the detailed discussion now belongs elsewhere.
It’s a rub that makes me gag.
Perry said that a few times but I don’t think anyone heard him.
LOL!
I don't know enough about to effectively discuss it in that detail so I am pinging our Texas Baby Catcher hocndoc to see if she will weigh in.
I FIRMLY believe, Bachmann has PALIN ENVY syndrome
Flash! RuPaul is nuts!!!
Feds are in charge of the borders and foreign policy, agreed?
States, counties and townships are stuck with those policies.
actually they r not playing so much up to the Tea Party. Perry is from a big latino state so to stay popular u have to throw some things their way... but I just do not believe this should be the way we all go... here in California they are shoving the colege amnesty bill thru and its another stake in the demise of the nation.
He just jumped the shark on the military and the terrorists.
And you would know.
Are you stateside yet, or still in the belly of the beast?
That’s good, but you forgot to mention the opt out. LOL!
Perry would maintain a presence. Drawn down troops as soon and as safely as possible; he's dinged Obama for ignoring his commanders. Turn control over to Afghanistan while still helping out with rebuilding of infrastructure.
