"...sorry to burst your bubble, but with every passing debate Perry is proving himself to be an anti-liberty RINO. He’s now doubling down on stupid with his democrat-like attacks on tea party people regarding our refusal to go along with his support of taxpayer subsidies for illegal aliens. And you’re doubling down on stupid for supporting his obvious lies regarding his attempted governance by decree on the vaccination of 12 year old girls fiasco. You should both walk away from attempting to defend the indefensible. Romney is a mandate-loving statist POS, but Perry isn’t proving out to be much better. A pox on them both."

Ping to #44, Jim.

Virginia Ridgerunner, it's customary to ping the person you quote.

I do wonder what you mean by posting Mr. Robinson's quote like that?

We have always had lively debate and disagreement on FR, as long as it's polite and based on facts.

I've met Mr. Robinson several times over the years at FR events. And, as a long time active member and supporter of FR (and the Governor), I replied to Mr. Robinson that I disagree with his opinion:

The Texas Legislature gave the Governor the authority when they delegated the mandating of vaccines to the Executive Branch. He used his lawful authority. They balked, changed the law for one vaccine and only one vaccine, but left his opt out provision alone.

He gave that opt out provision more publicity than all the anti-vaccination advocates ever had - while easing the burden that parents faced.

Governor Perry has fought for control of the border all along. He’s cut spending, protected life and marriage, and knocked the RINOs off their bureaucratic pedestals in Texas."
