Christian Right Accused of Sexism Over Lack of Enthusiasm for Bachmann
Christian Post ^ | July 7, 2011 | Napp Nazworth

Christian Right leaders are not rallying behind Michele Bachmann for president and it’s “probably” because they are sexist, contends a writer for Time.

.....“Totally unfair and inaccurate” is how Penny Nance, CEO of Concerned Women for America, described [Amy] Sullivan's characterization. Nance was invited to join the conference call but was unable to do so.

“Social conservatives are ready for a woman president,” Nance said. “In fact, the McCain campaign really took off,” added Nance, “after Sarah Palin was nominated.”

Nance remembered that during the 2008 election she was mostly standing on the sidelines until Palin was added to the ticket. Then, she began volunteering for McCain and she has many friends that did the same. Palin “was a woman they identified with,” Nance said.

Regarding a Perry candidacy, Nance said, “It's still very early” and “it's good for the country to have lots of choices.”

While Perry has a good relationship with social conservatives, they have not always seen eye to eye. In 2007, Perry proposed requiring all school-aged girls to receive the HPV vaccine. Concerned Women for America was one of the groups that thought that the vaccine should carry an opt-in provision, in which parents would sign their kids up to receive the free vaccination, rather than Perry's proposed opt-out provision, in which all female school children would automatically receive the vaccine unless their parents explicitly requested that they not receive the vaccine.

Ann Hettinger, Concerned Women for America's state director of Texas, was instrumental in convincing Perry to change his proposal to an opt-in provision. When asked if Perry's original plans for the HPV vaccine would be an issue if he were to run for president, Nance replied, “It would've been an issue if he had not fixed it.”

...Carter said that Jon Huntsman is “very attractive to me personally.”

There he goes again, lusting in his heart.

Any politician who wants to go anywhere has to pretend to be “Tea Party” like 90 percent???? or more of elected Republicans are right now and anyone who wants to be elected anything as a Republican in the future.

Gingrich can say, though, very sincerely, and accurately, that the Contract with America was the 1994 version of the 2010 tea party.

August 2010: Newt Gingrich: Rick Perry's book "almost came too late" [Foreward to "Fed Up!"]

I wish this book had never needed to be written.

It almost came too late.

America is recklessly accelerating toward economic disaster. Fed Up! may be the last warning sign to the danger that lies ahead.

Rick Perry, Texas governor for the past decade, is uniquely qualified to offer a firsthand perspective on why the United States—the most successful civilization in human history—is being threatened with economic collapse. ........[snip]"

If you liked GW Bush, you will love Rick Perry.

As FR’s resident loquacious PerryBOT,
you just posted (#84) your nice pics
of Huntsman and Carter.

Is there anyone you do not attack,
stanch defender of RINO Perry and his mandated-Gardasil?

"When asked if Perry's original plans for
the HPV vaccine would be an issue if he
were to run for president, Nance replied,
“It would've been an issue if he had not fixed it.”

The REAL point of what is behind these posts is original intent--not what
ultimately happened. RINO Perry's seeming intent was to
(1) reward his political allies inc. Chief of Staff and his Merck employer and
(2) to essentially shove an untested drug into the bodies of
his constituent's pre-pubescent girls. Girls. So where was his
due diligence? Where was the informed consent?
Is there an iota of evidence that he did really care? Most importantly,
what would he do on a national level, if given the power.

Many on this forum are still waiting to hear Gov. Perry
begin to finally address this issue.

“Perry’s original intent was to make this shot mandatory for all teenage girls.”

As young as nine years old.

This drug is given to young women at a time when their reproductive systems are developing. NOBODY can say that there won't be problems in a decade when they want to have children.

The same thing could have been said, when it was introduced, about the horrifically embryo-deforming drug Thalidomide, which was passed into general use under the European drug-approval scheme our marketarians so profess to admire. That's a case where market response was correct, but years too late.

Hey, the Bilderbergers like him. Twice. Who are you to complain?

What are you, a "hater"?

Yes. I can also post and hang two thoughts together without being profane and insulting. This is FR, not DU.

Hey Mr. Mouthy...did you go tell the teacher that I spoke profane to you....I got a note from her note to personally email you out of sight of the general population of FR.....why don't you speak up like you got a pair and quit hiding behind being a squatter to pee....and post who you are and where do you live.......now let me be creative to a bottom feeder like you...here is my message: One is a verb and the other a pronoun....how about that for hanging two thoughts together, fool?

Very consice reply, but my comment was on Huntsman, not Perry:

"I don’t know anything about Huntsman yet."
My reply:
From what I've seen of him he's a Romney clone - nice presentation but takes whatever position would garner him the most support.

"You may say they are not whores, but that may not be the final word..."

That's a pretty nasty thing to say about someone's daughters - if you said that to my face about my daughter I'd punch you in the face.

HPV is a sexually-transmitted disease and is classified as nothing else.  It causes cervical, anal, penile, head and neck cancers.

How do people get HPV?

HPV is passed on through genital contact, most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex and genital-to-genital contact. HPV can be passed on between straight and same-sex partners—even when the infected partner has no signs or symptoms.
