The Government has no business telling insurance companies what they have to cover. Secondly, all the Perry supporters were saying that it was medicare that he was trying to get to pay for it.
Gov. Palin was not mandating it, either with an opt in or an opt out.
Oh please, maybe Malkin wrote the article because she believes it. Now, you’re questioning her integrity.
Listen, Perry was never vetted on a national level. Sarah is just doing us a favour....whether she is in or not the fact is if Perry went into the general election with the now more than questionable and probably certifiable dereliction of governorship....he would be toast against Obama. That's just the way it is....so for the good of Free Republic we all have to start getting a grip on what is truly good for our party and what is not.
Rush included.
Oh? Seems to be getting tons of traction today. Can you refute any of the facts Malkin states?
Let me let you in on a little secret... Perry needs Palin a helluva lot more than Palin needs him. You and your crazy Krishnas are proof.
Good article. Glad to see that someone researches for the information and makes the attempt to gather all of the facts. Yes, Perry’s abuse of power troubles me. What he did has an appearance of wrongdoing, no doubt. I can’t understand why people bashed Palin so quickly/must wanted a reason. Also, Michele works for Fox, so... she has more guts and integrity than most reporters we see today.
Yep, it’s the same old tired line. If you aren’t for Perry, you’re for Obama, or a liberal troll, or a Paultard.
Problem is, these facts have been posted on FR many times, though scattered and not in one article like Malkin did.
I really don’t hate Sarah & I would vote for happily vote for her if she were the nominee.
He may operate on the fringes but he loves to tip his toes in it's water....!
I moved to Texas in 2007 and was quite put off by it.
Perry should burn in hell for A) believing that preventing cancer with a medication is better than treating cancer later in life;
B)Using the political and legislative tools at his disposal, ‘playing the game’ in order to get the burden of costs off of the families that wanted the shots and a way out for those that didn’t.
Perry should burn in hell for that, don’t you agree?
I don't think anybody denies that Merck contributed to Perry or that Perry's chief of staff became a Merck lobbyist.
I think what is being challenged is the conclusion that Perry's executive order was the return of a political favor rather than an attempt to protect the health of his constituents.
Since Sarah Palin was boasting about starting a program in which Gardasil was going to be freely given to the young girls of Alaska, it not only strongly indicates that Perry's heart was in the right place, but his mind as well.
Which you object to kids being given Gardasil if it really does effectively protect them from horrible cancers?
Maytag.
Not so. I live here in Texas. Do you? My daughters were never required to have inoculations.
IMO, you don’t have any room to talk about governors, state government, and political matters that actually work.
Texans are doing well. Kalifornians aren’t.
This has been explained so many times on this forum that you almost have to be willfully ignorant to not know about it.
1. Nanny state tactics guised under the 'I hate cancer' excuse. Who doesn't hate cancer?
2. The same nanny state reaction aided by BigPharma
3a. Reactionary legislation by executive order without consulting the state legislature.
3b. Reactionary legislation by executive order without proper research (as Perry has apologize for).
4. You scratch my back, I'll shave yours 'same as it always was' politics.
5. And the most important, the government claiming to know what's best for my children.
If was to start talking about Pro Cancer Perry Bashers I’ll bet they’d change their tune but then I’d be no better than they are.
I know what's best for my child, NOT the government.
If Obama did this, you'd be screaming.
