Didn't know it never went into effect. Thanks.

“Now you’re being coy about it.”

How could I possibly be coy about that? That is ludicrous. I have posted numerous pro-Palin articles. search of my history would show that. Yes, I support Palin. Proudly. So does the owner of this site. It is not a secret. BTW, I am not obliged to reply to any post from someone asking a question the answer to which is self evident to anyone who ever even lurks on this site..

The fact that I support Palin does not mean I cannot examine the credentials and public records of candidates who have not yet been vetted but who are being rammed down our throats by the Establishment, FOX news and Hot Air.

Why don’t you start defending Perry, if you can, rather than trying to examine the motives of those who are posting facts about him? He is going to be bleeding support big time, with Malkin, Levin and Dan Riehl (who had heretofore said noting about him) beginning to criticize his record.

Be open about your goal: To protect big government from the hazard that Palin represents to criminal governance.

Come November 2012...you gonna vote for him...or hand Barry a second term so he can put the fatal bullet into our country. Which one?

Apparently some conservatives prefer obama to Perry and some of the others who are not perfect. They need a perfect candidate, or they will stay home.

I would like to have a perfect candidate too, but I'm voting for the person against obama on Election Day.

Did you read the article or the attempted rebuttal? He canceled the plan only after both houses passed legislation by veto proof margins, and accused them of murdering children. This is not someone who changed his mind because he decided he made a mistake. This is the action of someone who either got caught doing wrong or has the same narcissistic tendencies as Obama.

His support for Giuliani in 2008 is disturbing, as is his big spending as governor. Why does he spend so much?

There are a lot of concerns about Rick Perry: illegal immigration, spending, relationship with radical Islam, Trans Texas Highway, compassionate conservatism, etc.

The more I see of Rick Perry, the more I am reminded of George W. Bush.

Do you have science to back that up? Its pretty bold to say “ever” unless you can prove it. Or are you just against government mandated activity, in which case you would need to change your attack.

By the time you hit Jr High in Texas, you gotten the following vaccines:

Diptheria
Pertussis
Tetanus
Polio
Measles
Mumps
Rubella
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Haemophilus Influenzae type B
Varicella
Pneumococcus

Are all of those vaccines unsafe for children? How do you measure safe?

Or are you just mad because your candidate isnt doing well (or in) and you compensate for that by attacking someone else?

Let's all gang up on Rick Perry now.

It's called Primary Season. Happens every four years. The Dems had their own four years ago as well, and it wasn't pretty either.

I know a bunch of liberals, and they don't have a bad word to say about obama.

If you think the Dems are really all just one big happy family united around Zero, then head over to DU for an eye-opening experience. (But inoculate yourself with Gardasil first, however. It's a cesspool over there.)

Thanks very much for finding and posting Michelle Malkin’s column.

I’m still trying to learn facts about Governor Perry, on the chance that he’s the GOP nominee *after* the Marathon Primary season!

It’s imperative that Obama is defeated, but equally imperative that he’s defeated by a reliable TEA PARTY Republican nominee.

My prayers and hopes remain solidly with Governor Palin, (yes I truly believe she’s running) but I want to be open to supporting our nominee provided our nominee meets our TEA PARTY criteria!

No more, cave-in RINOS or candidates posing as Tea Party Republicans, only to disappoint us later! Elect verified, TEA PARTY Republicans only, and that goes for the House and Senate!

TEA PARTY VICTORY 2012!

find a candidate who has never done a single thing we don’t agree with.

Well there are candidates who haven't done a single thing. PERIOD! Just talk what they WILL do with no record of anything already done for OUR COUNTRY.

>> “he listened to the public and killed the plan and it never went into effect” <<

False!

From the article:

“In response to the legislature’s rebuke, the infuriated governor attacked those who supported repeal as ‘shameful’ spreaders of ‘misinformation’ who were putting ‘women’s lives’ at risk. Borrowing a tried-and-true Alinskyite page from the progressive left, Perry surrounded himself with female cervical cancer victims and deflected criticism of his imperial tactics with emotional anecdotes.

He then lionized himself and the minority of politicians who voted against repeal of his Gardasil order. ‘They will never have to think twice about whether they did the right thing. No lost lives will occupy the confines of their conscience, sacrificed on the altar of political expediency.’ Perry, of course, has now put his own ghastly Gardasil order on that same altar — but with no apology to all those he demonized and exploited along the way. “

The push to mandate Gardasil, the bringing in of cancer survivors, and then his angry response to his rebuke all reminds one of how a Democrat would operate. Bob

“I would like to have a perfect candidate too, but I’m voting for the person against obama on Election Day.”

Primaries are about picking a candidate. That means examining and comparing the candidates’ records.It is not negative to compare candidate’s records and public statements, as you suggest. You come on these threads and piously bemoan a lack of lack of civility where there is no such thing. Sheesh. Spare us the sanctimony.

The 1976 and 1980 Reagan campaign were rough and tumble affairs. I know. I was in them. The Gipper gave as good as he got. If you doubt that read Craig Shirley’s books. If you want a GOP primary where everyone sits around the campfire singing kumbaya, you won’t find it.

That was for his campaign. There are other things involved besides campaign contributions. I will find the full report and post it. I have done so much research on candidates, I didn’t save every smidgin, but I did read it, so I will find it. A couple of the pages regarding this whole Gardasil thing have been wiped. Like the Texas AG report. Surprise, surprise.

Polls will be coming out with Perry beating Bammy Boy by at least 15 points. In two months this is what you will see. All these Republican versus Obama polls are fluid, highly changeable

You get to vote in the primary of your state, but beyond that, it's all out of your control. Will you stay home on Election Day if you don't get your perfect candidate?

“OK. So...let's say Perry is the nominee...because Palin is not going to run. I've said it over and over again. She's out.”

So Palin is not going to run because you say so? More nonsense from the class of 1998.
