One or two weeks in the national spotlight should send this corrupt roach Rick Perry scurrying for cover back among the LBJ types down in Texas.

Duoh, when did Michelle Malkin start making public policy decisions for Texas citizens?! What does your straw-man argument have to do with Perry’s ill conceived dictatorial public policy decision on this issue?

Is Michelle a Palin-drone?

If turn about is fair play then is GunRunner a Perry-drone?

No, but I do defend all Republican candidates from over-the-top hyperbole, lies, and misinformation. Comparing the Gardisil issue to Obamacare is exactly as I described.

I'm glad she doesn't. Perhaps she thinks that interning every woman with HPV in a concentration camp would be a better option.

He also forced state health officials to make the vaccine available "free" to girls ages 9 to 18.

This is a deceptive assertion. To get it "free" you had to go to the county health clinic. If you had your family doctor administer the vaccine it was costly. If it was not a mandatory vaccine, most health plans in Texas did not cover it. By making it mandatory, the vaccine was covered by health insurance.

You need to step back away from your computer for awhile and take a long break. You are hurting your own image every time to try to defend Perry's ill thought out dictatorial decision in this matter.

Hey Guys,

A deeper look into Perry’s Guardisil Action!

Sorry about the earlier ping, it was to a duplicate post.

This one is the original.

She has it wrong. The “Vaccines for Children” federal program made the vaccine available free of charge for eligible children before the EO. Perry also made it easier to opt out.

From the article:

Perry defenders pointed to a bogus "opt-out" provision in his mandate "to protect the right of parents to be the final authority on their children's health care." But requiring parents to seek the government's permission to keep an untested drug out of their kids' veins is a plain usurpation of their authority. Translation: Ask your bureaucratic overlord to determine if a Gardasil waiver is right for you.

Libertarians and social conservatives alike slammed Perry's reckless disregard for parental rights and individual liberty. The Republican-dominated legislature also balked. In May 2007, both chambers passed bills overturning the governor's unilaterally imposed health order.

I never claimed it wasn't ill thought out. I was pointing the dishonesty of comparing it to ObamaCare.

Unless you are a union thug, there is NO opt out for ObamaCare, whereas not only was there an opt out for the vaccine, the very executive order in question streamlined the opt out process and made it available online, an option not available before.

A comparison between the two is demonstrably dishonest, and perhaps you should educate yourself on the entirety of the facts at hand before posting.

Here is the quote from Sarah Palin, reviewing Rick Perry’s record as Governor:

“That’s why I am supporting Governor Rick Perry for re-election. He does what is right regardless of whether it is popular. He walks the walk of a true conservative. And he sticks to his guns – and you know how I feel about guns!
With our current economic crisis, and working families worried about their pensions, jobs, credit card debt and rising home foreclosures, we need strong conservative leadership in trend-setting states like Texas.

Rick Perry is a leader. While the nation lost half a million jobs in the last year, Texas gained 250,000 net new jobs. He improved the job climate in Texas by refusing to raise taxes in the face of the largest budget deficit in Texas history. He had the foresight to join legislators in saving for a rainy day. And he has consistently asked agency heads to cut their budgets even when surpluses were rolling in. My fellow Republicans, that’s consistent leadership. That’s Rick Perry.”
****************************************************
So was Sarah lying, misinformed, or are a lot of folks going off half cocked attacking conservatives as usual???

Another lie. "Number of healthcare reform law waivers climbs above 1,000"

A comparison between the two is demonstrably dishonest,

So is telling a bald-face obvious lie.

and perhaps you should educate yourself on the entirety of the facts at hand before posting.

Ha ha ho ho...... that's really rich - again you really should take a long break here. You just keep digging that hole ever deeper.

You can laugh like an idiot and post funny pictures all you want.

My point about Malkin's comparison's are accurate.

I'm sorry, what is a lie again? You don't seem to have a handle on what your argument is.

Are you saying that ObamaCare waivers are as easy to obtain as a vaccine opt-out in Texas?

None of what you're saying is true.

You apparently aren't even lucid enough to realize even what you yourself wrote. That's understandable considering that it it's barely noon and yet you're bobbing and weaving all over this place. Hey, how about sharing some of what you are drinking?

HPV is transmitted by behavioral actions and is not contagious in the way that chicken pox, measles, influenza, etc

Very good point. Chicken pox, measles, influenza, polio and a host of other plauge-like diseases are transferred by mere contact or proximity.

HPV is transferred by sexual activity; which TYPICALLY does not occur in a school environment. Now, as for the merits of this shot - I agree that I would encourage my daughters/grandaughters to get this. But, I would not DICTATE or foce them to do so. This was not the action of a man who stands for a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC, but a man who fancies himself a Dictator.
