Perry sings a different tune now that he’s running for president.
What he did was bad as a matter of principle and since the 2007 controversy questions have been raised about the drug’s safety.
There was a campaign contribution to Perry from the company that made the drug (6,000 dollars).
A lot of money is now being gathered to fund his presidential campaign. Who is it from and what are the contributors going to get in return.
Move over Slick Willard, here comes Slick Rick... Pay no attention to my statist liberal policies as Governor, since I’m running for President, I’m a Conservative now ! Honest ! Al Gore can vouch for me, I was his campaign manager after all...
Yes. Thank you for the post. It’s a much more accurate representation of the truth than what the Perry haters spout.
It seems there are no longer men of principle in politics.
I believe there are some women of principle though!
But the mea culpa might instead be a blood in the water moment that ironically generates the type of feeding frenzy they had hoped to avoid. It picks at the Gardasil mandate scab and renews interest in the original events. It also raises a whole host of new questions, not the least of which is why did he spend 4 years proudly defending his actions, even to the point of maligning his Gardasil critics, only to admit a mistake days after entering the presidential race.
If Malkin's "Governor Gardasil" sticks, Perry could end up slow bleeding through the primaries. Regardless, this issue is not going to go away soon.
Folks, I am far from a RINO, been to every Texas Republican State Convention since ‘92, served two terms on Rules Committee.
I didn’t oppose the Gardisil item on grounds of promoting promiscuity, I opposed it (while encouraging my step-daughter, an adult, to get it) because it was an intrusion on individual rights.
You non-Texans need to take a closer look at Perry. This Conservative Republican has spent more time opposing Perry policies over the last decade than supporting them.
Did you like the Kelo decision? You would have loved the Trans-Texas Corridor. Texas Conservatives fought this rascal through two terms of Legislature, would have been the largest eminent domain land grab in American history. Perry fought FOR that tooth and nail.
Just one amongst many.

I guess so was running Gores campaign, being a democrat, embracing Mexico’s open border dream in a official statement by Perry himself and on and on it goes, but now, oh now, he’s got it all right, uh huh ...
BS. A mistake is when you dial a wrong phone number, not force women to take a vaccine.
With his stand on this issue it is clear he is a New World Order facist. Thinks he knows better then we do and now we learn the drug is worse the the bite.
He supports open US borders with Mexico, he is a joke.
Gardasil mandate. Just another honest mistake, like the Texas DREAM Act, TTC, the Texas Emerging Technology Fund and the Texas Enterprise Fund. Those are just honest mistakes too, but he’s all better now. He got religion and wrote a book about it last year.
Ping for later
Well goodness gracious, a politician who listens to voters and changes his or her mind. Much unlike the “We have to pass the bill to see what’s in it” that rammed obummercare down our throats when san fran pig lousy ran the house.
