I wonder if any of her contributors benefit via her smearing of Perry/Merck re: “injections”.
Are any of those companies direct competitors of Merck?
A legislator doesn’t make executive decisions, so their activities are not as apparent.
Does one consider it “cronyism”, for example, if votes for issues favored by Eagle Forum are registered by the legislator?
Personally, I like Eagle Forum, but that isn’t really the question. The question is: “Can a legislator use the voting process to hide their cronyism?”
No one needs to smear Perry/Merck. They do it to themselves.
The take away when you see those two names together is spelled c-o-r-r-u-p-t-i-o-n.
Yup. GlaxoSmithKline is a direct competitor of of Merck. They make the other HPV vaccine Cervarix. She didn't mind taking money from them and attacking its competitor.
To defend Perry taking a bribe, the Perrybots argue that ALL political contributions are bribes. Really lame.
Apparently, Glaxo_SmithKline. But don’t confuse the issue: it’s about executive power and its misuse. Why go down that road of mandating something for people when it flies in the face of being constitutionally sound?
