I currently support Perry, although I am by heart a Newt guy but the Tiffany’s thing ruined that.
I posted this because people seem to think Perry invented Gardasil, when in reality Gardasil was getting a nationwise push and was even available in Sarah Palin’s Alaska. Please note that I know Texas had an opt-out mandate, while Alaska merely “recommend” it. However, if it such a horrid vaccine, I believe the Governor of Alaska should have rejected such funding, don’t you?
Dunno.
Never even heard of the drug until about 2 months ago. Just pointing out, the central point would seem to this small-l libertarian Republican the threat of force.
Government mandates, are force. That’s where Perry crossed the line, and to his credit he admitted that.
I’m not trying to go after Perry, and thanks for clarifying - merely pushing back against what (as a Palin supporter) I see as an invalid comparison.
Imagine though, a combination ticket of the two...
Just saying.
Worth trying to keep the two from becoming adversaries.
And our two groups of reasonable people, from going at each other, losing sight of the real goal. :D
