The Governor’s Executive Order (RP 65) that caused all the controversy also ordered the director of DSHS to make it easier for parents to opt out of vaccines. The Legislature had changed the law from “opt in” to a requirement to “opt out” once for all the school years. Next, they changed to a two year limit on the opt out, and then in 2005, the Legislature restricted the period to one year and required a new State form bearing a “seal.” Parents had to go to Austin or start early in the summer. There were bureaucrats who maintained that the only way to get the form with the seal was to go to Austin, find the right office and make the request in person.

************************

(you left something out).............

Perry used his EO to tell the Director of DSHS to make the request (and the seal) available on-line, making it easier to “opt out.”

**********************

The parents could fill out the form online and submit it.

It was as simple as that.

But the EO was overturned before it went into effect anyway.

This Dr. Nuckols who posted on Malkin’s site also repudiated one of obammy’s Doctors for America who claimed Beck’s 9/12 project was a bust. See her comments on the blog below.

Your insipid post of clueless cant notwithstanding, I have never said, "Perry is a DEMOCRAT!" and I have never said, "Perry is NO BETTER THAN OBAMA!" Can't you make a point w/o lying about other posters? Never mind, I already know the answer.

btw Perry is not a conservative and he is a RINO. And making a fool of yourself on these pages cannot change that. Bye.

and that the Perry would not announce “yes” until he was sure Palin was a “no.”
///
1) WHY did Palin specifically remind the press, a few days ago, that Perry had said he wouldn’t run?
2) Palin knows, a LOT of people support her, and are spending a LOT of time organizing in every state for her.
do you really BELIEVE, that if she had already decided “NO”,
that she would let them keep wasting their time ?!?

3) we shouldn’t criticise Perry, because it will hurt him?
...we shouldn’t breathe a word of any legitimate concerns about Perry, because if we are VERY quiet, the MSM will ignore it also ?!?

we SHOULD vett our candidates!

if they can’t take it here, they certainly can’t take it in the general campaign.
and the MSM will exaggerate and outright LIE about Gardasil, etc.
...again, if Perry can’t take it here, then he won’t beat BHO at all, let alone by “15 points”.

Are you saying that this guy Perry, who is so timid on illegal immigration that he even rejected the half-hearted AZ law is in the middle? The “middle” has drifted far left, apparently. Bob

Perry hasn’t just done SOME things I disagree with. He has done a LOTof things I disagree with. Gardasil, instate tuition for children of illegals. Opposition to the border defense. Doubling state spending in TX on his watch. Opposing the Arizona law. Supporting Proabortion Rudy Giuliani in 2008 for President, the only GOP governor to do so. How much more do you need to conclude that he is bad news.

He was also against E-Verify, for TARP and for Algore in 1988.

I was using hyperbole to make a point...and if you can’t understand that...then you aren’t very bright.

According to this poster, Dan Patrick on KSEV has the inside scoop!

I remember Dan Patrick when he regularly painted his face blue on his TV sportscast after Houston Oiler victories back in the day. Same guy who had a vasectomy on the radio. Now he's in the TX senate and has the inside scoop on Sarah Palin's 'real' plans.

So we can rest easy now, onyx. Sarah Palin, who won't even tell her parents her plans because she's afraid they'll spill the beans has told Gov. Perry and a guy who had a vasectomy while doing his radio show.

I'm glad I finally know now, onyx. Aren't you? LMAO.

Just so you know, the FDA approved Gardasil in 2006. Perry made his EO in 2007. So to throw that “unproven” jab in is pretty silly. And we already force our children to get vaccines before they enter school, and I havent seen 1 “conservative” cry about it the way they do Gardasil.

Just so you know, Gardasil Researcher Admits Vaccine May Be More Dangerous than the Disease

That means it is unproven.

Moreover, "poor promise of efficacy as a vaccine married to a high risk of life-threatening side effects."

That also means it is unproven.

Moreover, unlike other vaccinations which have proven to be effective in preventing known viruses in school children for decades, unproven Gardasil isn't even necessary unless the female is sexually active which many if not most are not. So that comparison on your part was 'pretty silly'.

Not really saying that...and didn't say that. I am saying stick to Reagan's rule. There is a reason he said it. He KNEW the enemy would use it against us. There is a way of vetting...campaigning...and debating without (and this is what I said) "beating up the candidates... to the point that they come out of the primary SO DAMAGED they can't beat the incumbant."

This is what is happening and this is what I was trying to convey to the poster...but he doesn't understand the use of hyperbole so I should not be surprised it was lost on him.

So...let me clarify. I believe the difference in honest debate and what I see going on here is this: In honest debate, I can have my beliefs...and when the candidate i DID NOT chose wins...I can support them with my fullest measure of enthusiasm. I can get those yard signs...bumper stickers...I can "pimp" them out to my moderate relatives and neighbors after 6 months of telling them why I want them to vote for candidate z in the pramary "instead of THAT guy."

BUT...what I see going on here...like on this thread is the stuff that FOOLS are made of. HYPERBOLE ALERT (for the dense ones in the audience)! When you denegrate, call names, call them RINO, say they are this or that, "THEY'RE NO BETTER THAN OBAMA (and that's been said). When you destroy them for 6 months...and they get the nomination...it is aweful difficult to turn that ship around. It's hard to get up the motivation to campaign to defeat this individual we have in the White House now.

It's REAL HARD to go to that moderate relative or neighbor and say "VOTE FOR THAT GUY" when you've done nothing but run them in the ground for 6 months. You look like a fool.

See the difference between "vetting" and detroying? One helps the enemy...one doesn't.

Based on head to head Obama v. Republican Candidate polls, Romney is the most electable,

I didn't vote for Romney in the Primaries last go round, and neither did most Republicans, so I don't see how he's considered "most electable" four years later.

Ron Pual is not electable, period. He's too old, too libertarian, and except for Paulbots, nobody would vote for him.

Sorry, you cannot have it both ways. And you cannot continue to ignore what Sarah Palin has stated in regard to Rick Perry. That is, unless you believe Sarah Palin was lying. Do you believe she was lying, Brices Crossroads?

No, from what I see, he has been pretty lax in wanting to curtail the problem. He has been outspoken on border security.

From what I see he wants better border control, but also does not have a big problem with the cheap labor. He’s better than Democrats and some Republicans..and better than Bush...but not nearly good enough.

From my perspective, there is a reasonable middle solution to this problem that tightens up the border, gives existing illegals a short opportunity to register as a legal worker, and try to get the chaos under control...without any form of amnesty or fast path to citizenship. If he developed some sort of solution like that, I would be comfortable.

Spam convinces no one. Most people don;’t read it. Why do you post it?

He's Texan.

So is Perry.

So Perry must, Must, MUST be the only choice! Don't you see?

Cheers!

Insiders eh? LOL

What makes you think Perry knows Palins mind? Didn't I just read on FR that he tweeted "I hope Palin makes the right decision"? Doesn't sound to me as if he has a clue.

Your reasonable replies are lost on many of these posters.

Probably 50 % are Axelrod or DU trolls and who knows about the other half.

This is a screaming astroturf post and few are here to be reasonable.

Jim, do you think that most of the anti-Perry posters (or Michele Malkin) are DU trolls or screaming astroturf?

Cheers!

I agree. I register a “don’t care” on the vaccine and highways issues. The first issue I find with Perry is illegal immigration. He says he is against amnesty which ‘sounds’ good but we need to find out if that’s just a smokescreen. Not favoring the fence really ticks me off. So he sounds like another mushy politician on immigration like Bush.

So that’s -1. On many other issues - spending, taxes, foreign policy, GW - Perry has somewhat of record of actions and statements over the years. He shoots off his mouth a lot. I loved his comments on GW. He is not cautious like GW Bush which can be great but only if he backs it up and follows through and doesn’t allow the media to succeed in portraying him as a secessionist wacko.

After the hell we raised in 2007, no sane candidate is going to support "amnesty." They'll pull some euphemism out of their butt, like "Pathway to Citizenship" or "Migrant Worker Program."
