Welll I could trade insults but it would be a waste of exercising my fingers. YES, Perry said it was a mistake.... WHAT was his mistake?
Tea Party is about reminding the elected ruling class that we are fed up (cute huh name of perry's book) with mandates/taxation without representation. The people who were getting mandated/taxed by Perry's executive ORDER were NEVER informed in advance their insurance premiums would be rising to cover a drug for sexually active KIDS!!!!!
The drug is not given to sexually active kids. It is only given to kids prior to becoming sexually active because no one can be sure when that will happen, an arbitrary age is selected that will cover most children. So, your little obfuscation doesn’t apply.
Parents had the right to opt out of the vaccine.
"When both the House and Senate repealed the (vaccination) law six weeks later, Perry did not — as he now claims — listen humbly or “agree with their decision.”Human shield demagoguery.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."
