The Excutive Order made the vaccine procedure opt-out even easier than was done for the other vaccines.

Parents’ Rights. The Department of State Health Services will, in order to protect the right of parents to be the final authority on their children’s health care, modify the current process in order to allow parents to submit a request for a conscientious objection affidavit form via the Internet while maintaining privacy safeguards under current law.

The left is playing us like a fine tuned fiddle...but then I've known this is what the left has been doing. It still has shocked me seeing the meanness taking place.

This administration is going to attempt whatever necessary to remain in power. Race. Intimidation. Media attacks. Division – divide and f**king conquer. You notice how divisive the Republican primary campaigns have already started to become? You think that’s all occurring on its own? H*ll no. Tens of millions of dollars are already being spent getting conservatives, Republicans, Independents, whatever – get them to attack each other. Get them frustrated and lower their desire to vote for the eventual nominee. You know, Republicans used to be the party that would unite behind the nominee when they were chosen – it frustrated the h*ll out of us Democrats who were always b*tching over this or that right up until the election. That’s not the case anymore, and your Republicans are much weaker because of it. I’ll say this, if Republicans don’t get their sh*t together and vote for whoever is the nominee – and I mean WHOEVER is the nominee, then it will be another four years of Barack Obama running this country into the f**king dirt and that’s what we deserve. If we are too stupid as a country to fix this mess…then so be it. It’s over. The America we know, the America we knew – it’s over. Done. And we will only have ourselves to blame.

I am quite familiar with him as I live not too far from Texas and do quite a bit of business and shopping there. He’s far from perfect like anyone else but he has governed his state well. In fact his accepting all those Katrina peeps has helped Louisiana to finally have more registered R’s instead of D’s for the first time since Reconstruction. His leadership has been beneficial in more ways than one. :-)

Palin is known and not all of it is positive. It’s called Palin fatigue.

There is a big difference between illegal and legal immigration.

You are being deliberately obtuse and anal about it

You are the one picking away trying to make a non truth a truth.

She has NOT said she isn't running and until she does - it's a lie to say she isn't running. Even a 1st grader can understand that!

So continue picking away at the nose and butt trying to make that statement true. You, obviously, have taken it on as some kind mission.

A first grader would understand that at this point in time she isn't running. Even Palin herself would tell you that right now she isn't running because she hasn't declared. Anyone that hasn't declared are officially non candidates because they ARE NOT RUNNING, yet. you asinine idiot

Notice this is a pro Rick Perry thread that the Palin drones have destroyed. It's no longer about the thread, it's about Palin and if she will run and Perry supporters having to deal with "when did he stop beating his wife" type questions.

It's every Perry thread.

I check out Palin threads and besides one that I purposely went to to show them what it is like, they are generally left to enjoy the post. The only thing they have to deal with is "Palin isn't running" or "I don't think she will run" comments.

“And Americans, regardless of social and economic background is, they need to know that they can come to America and you got a chance to have any dream come true, because the economic climate is going to be improved.”
Yes, there is a big difference between illegal and legal immigration. However, this statement by the Governor is true and has nothing to do with illegal immigration.

By the way, regarding your tag line, there is a difference between a path to citizenship and amnesty. In fact, Governor Palin has come out very clearly on the path to citizenship:
http://www.issues2000.org/2012/Sarah_Palin_Immigration.htm
Supports a path to citizenship, but no amnesty for illegals

Q: Should undocumented immigrants all should be deported?

A: There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant—there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants—not only economically is that just an impossibility but that’s not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue.

Q: Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 million undocumented immigrants?

A: No, I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. We have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.

Q: So you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?

A: I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.

Path to citizenship is a form of amnesty, hence the term scamnesty.

Did you perhaps confuse me with a Palin supporter?

I can’t help but wonder if Alaska had been over run with illegals and going bankrupt because of them if she might have sung a different tune.

Destroyed?

Discussing conservatives on RINO threads
is a good thing, is it not?

Conservatism will improve RINO threads, normy.

It makes your base become smaller and smaller and smaller.

Wishful thinking, chump.

I don't know about that. I did an analysis of all of the Obama v Palin polls listed on the RCP webstite for the past three years. In 2009, Sarah averaged 12.5 points behind Obama. In 2010, when she was actively campaigning for other candidates, she improved slightly, to 10.8 points behind Obama. However, in 2011 so far, she has averaged 17.5 points behind Obama. That is an average for over 30 polls just this year, so it is not just 1 or 2 outliers. So it appears that she is losing ground over her support from last year. Now, that can change. But I think her supporters are going to make that more difficult by attacking and alienating the supporters of other candidates.

WRONG! If someone is in the decision process - they haven't declared one way or the other - does not mean they AREN'T running as MUCH as you want to say otherwise. They HAVEN'T DECIDED YET, does NOT mean they AREN'T RUNNING. Are you ever dense! Whew! You really are on a mission - to show what clueless looks like.

And speaking of officially, the primary is NOT officially closed, yet, to any candidate! So much for your 'official non candidates'.

Polls? LOL!! Polls? LOL!!

First of all, that cry has already seen it's days and your opinion. They are like noses, everyone has one with two holes in it!! And I'm amazed at what the grassroots 'We the People' are capable of! No one can alienate me from a conservative Patriot - what kind of supporters are you making up 'in your opinion stance'? You make them appear not so strong on their candidate and thin skinned.

Polls, LOL!!

As of today, is Palin a candidate? You only have two choices. Yes or no. Let the truth prevail. To my knowledge she hasn’t, but I haven’t had the tv on today.

YOU giving me two choices? LOL!! Your mission is not mine. Your two choices are to take a chill pill or keep appearing foolish trying to make a non truth into a truth. You have a decision to make - get going!

I saw someone from C4P try to throw a gotcha question to Perry while he was in a crowd shaking hands. Perry tried to answer and the young guy started talking over him and Perry said "see ya"

That really sucks that Palin people are actually doing this in a Republican Primary.

I wouldn't even do that to Newt or Romney as they are closer allies to us than the Muslim sitting in the WH.

If Palin has any class she will address this type of antics. It mirrors Ron Paul tactics.
