Did she take cash from Merck and then mandate a Merck product on the people of SC by executive fiat? Did she require the legislature to override her actions?
No? Hmmmm indeed....
I wonder if she was part of the unanimous vote against the bill...
Who knows yet exactly what she did?
We here are just now hearing about this. At least to this degree of airing.
Perry’s involvement has been attacked mercilessly from every conceivable angle. Every conceivable one, no angle left out.
Therefore, to be consistent, whatever angle is used against Rick Perry...whatever one, no exceptions, can be used legitimately against Nikki Haley.
I don’t subscribe to the distortions that you use to describe what happened in Texas. I describe it coming from Perry’s standpoint, and I have proven that he did not, could not, have done what he did unless he believed the people of tx would welcome this addition to the school vaccine program. Otherwise, you would have to stupidly believe that he wanted to have the people rebuff him, that he wanted to be embarrassed for life that he had to backtrack when he heard the voice of the people.
That proves he would not have gone ahead, Merck or no Merck, let me repeat, he would not have gone ahead, Merck or no Merck, if he had not thought it would be welcomed Cancer protection for kids, not rejected and thrown back in his face as an embarrassment for all time to come.
Likewise, Nikki Haley obviously thought it was the thing to do. Let me repeat, she obviously thought it was the thing to do. She found out otherwise. Just like Rick Perry found out otherwise in Texas, to his everlasing embarrassment. And I have no doubt this episode is embarrassing to Nikki Haley.
The executive order route by Perry was in order to expedite the opt out, is what I understood.
Incorrect: that the Legislature had to override. No, it didn’t come to that. The whole thing was stopped before they needed to do that. It was the voice of the people, contacting their reps, demanding it be stopped, that Perry heard, before a vote was held.
Good points!
