Eighteen things that critics are saying about Rick Perry

This answers so many of the issues critics are saying about Rick Perry.

Perry maintains that the justification for his executive order making the shot mandatory was twofold: 1) that the vaccine offered a chance to save lives that might have otherwise been taken away by cervical cancer and, 2) that insurance companies wouldn’t cover the $360 cost of the vaccine ($120 for each of a 3-shot regimen) when it was simply an optional “recommended” vaccine. That put it out of the reach for most low-income Texans. This from the Time Magazine article (linked above), “Some pediatricians and gynecologists are refusing to stock Gardasil because many insurance companies reimburse so little for the vaccine, which costs $360 for the three required doses.”

When Perry mandated Gardasil, it would have become part of a school-related vaccine package which was then covered by insurance for simply the cost of a co-pay.

Agree or disagree, that does seem to be a reasonable justification for Perry’s actions.

I've said this all along about the Gardasil thing. People jump on this and the in state tuition for illegals as reasons to vote against the guy and those are the only reasons I can come up with to vote for him.

How about he is dumb as a truck load of rocks. He can't put 2 sentences together.
Why do you right wing types think that stupid( Cain,Palin,Perry) is what this country needs. There are plenty of really smart conservatives that you totally discount.

Well, Obama was considered really smart...

So a dumber person could do better? And before someone pops up with "They couldn't do any worse," let me just say yes, they could do CONSIDERABLY worse. We may find out just how much worse in the next few years.

Huntsman may be a viable choice

Why isn't Huntsman getting any traction? He seems well spoken, smart, has lots of foreign affairs experience, plus governing experience. What is it about him that the GOP doesn't like? I think he would appeal to a broad range of voters,which is still necessary to win a national election.

He's sane.

Because the hard right want to be pure and are willing to lose and nominate a whack. We all lose.
