Perry Under Pressure to Bow Out, Endorse Another Conservative

This is a good example of something I see on FoxNews all the time.  As part of a comment, something that isn't really true is offered up buttressing a false premise.

Conservatives believe in individual rights and freedoms.  They do not believe in issuing an edict that infringes on those rights and freedoms.

Along comes a man who issued an Executive Order that would have forced all 14 year old girls to submit to a Gardasil regimine before they could continue with their schooling, unless they could talk their parents into signing a waver.  Many of those parents were naturally going to think the state must know better than them, and refuse to sign this sort of waver.  This would have left the 14 year old girls without an advocate on their side.

This is not the action of a Conservative folks.  His own state legislature overturned his Executive Order by a two-thirds majority.  He even admits it was a big mistake.  And yet people who consider themselves to be Conservatives, don't give it a second thought.  "Why he's the biggest Conservative out there."

And we wonder why we're in trouble.

The title of this article shoud read, "Perry Under Pressure to Bow Out, Endorse Another Candidate"  (or A Conservative)  In this instance, sadly, he couldn't endorse another Conservative, because he is not a Conservative himself.

Perry is a fake...those who are real conservatives see him for what he is.....THAT is why he has no traction....that is why he needs to GO....

Meaningless. Each of the candidates has taken some similar action(s) that can be paraded to impugn their conservatism.

The important question now is where socons go after Santorum.

Also, it’s funny now to think back to when Newt “blew up” his campaign right as he announced it with some stupid remark I can’t even remember now. He was totally written off. Campaigns are funny that way sometimes.
