Thankyou for your post.
Oh, by the way - I suppose “resident thug in chief” is not an ad hominem attack either?
Gov. Perry chose to bypass the legislature and on Feb. 2, 2007, he issued an executive order making Texas the first state in the country requiring all sixth-grade girls to receive the three-shot vaccination series (which cost about $120 per shot).
...
The controversy over Perry’s decision deepened as it came to light that his former chief of staff was a lobbyist for Merck and that his chief of staff’s mother-in-law, Rep. Dianne White Delisi, was the state director of an advocacy group bankrolled by Merck to push legislatures across the country to put forward bills mandating the Gardasil vaccine for preteen girls.
...
Just six weeks after Perry put pen to paper, the Texas House rebuked him on March 14, 2007, passing HB 1098, overturning his executive order by a vote of 119-21. The Senate followed suit the following month by a vote of 30-1.
...
On May 8, the day the law went into effect, Perry held a press conference surrounded by women touched by cervical cancer. He bemoaned the tenor of a debate that he asserted had been “hijacked by politics and posturing,” and blamed future cervical cancer deaths on those who opposed his mandate — many of whom were fellow Republicans.
...
And in fact, two years later the National Vaccine Information Center issued a report raising serious questions over the harmful side effects of the drug.... an editorial on Gardasil in the Journal of the American Medical Association declared that “serious questions regarding the overall effectiveness of the vaccine” needed to be answered and that more long-term studies were called for.
That’s an interesting post.
Are you sure you weren’t trying to ping someone else?
Baby got back - on front? ;)
Well which is it? Fat or silicon? They both can't be bad.
Your 39 makes me wonder what kind of dominion Governor Perry envisions.

He does a good job of talking the talk; but never walks the walk. Oh, he will bring stuff up even pretend he is actually doing something; but it’s just a bunch of smoke and mirrors. You want another Arnold; elect him.
Perry’s story was it was because of his mother.
It is to laugh, is it not?
Those darn petards.
He is an open borders illegals lover. Are you?
How old were you in 89...Perry was 41-42
And...no....count me as one of those who thinks folks who change that late likely do it to get elected and are not culture warriors
And if you ain’t a social conservative then one is just a RINO for practical reasons
Soft on borders...Texas goes majority Mexican..then good luck
And if they fall...we fall...we cannot win without california and texas both
I was 32 in 89 and had been hard right for 9 years by then..and never ran for office
Just curious...why did you immediately ping Jim & John, the AdMin and Humblegunner?
Were you spoiling for a fight or what?
Seems to me you started this thread and then asked for trouble.
Smells like a setup, to me.
Man Bob J rode off into the sunset to anti freep after a fight with JR...I think over those jack ass lawyers extorting money from websites for using material....dont know the story but do know Bob is out there battling FR windmills...like all good self respecting anti freepers.(s)
Yea but Reagan went GOP like Dixicrats did
Because the Democrats changed....not Reagan...they left him as he said
Perry claims he changed...the Dems went to hell under LBJ
25 YEARS BEFORE PERRY SWITCH
He is a notch better than Mitt but not by much
Once again we get a milquetoast conservative with him
Right now we need a real social stalwart
Perrys boobs are real...as is her for crap husband
If that husband is who I think he is, he’s possibly the only person I find more difficult to look at than The Usurper.
Between those two, I’d rather watch a porn flick starring Helen Thomas and Henry Waxman. (But then that would require her to like Jews and him to like things that pretend to be women.)
Your user name is actually ‘zot’?!?
[sorry...it just struck me funny]
;D
