MY SAY: ELECTIONS ARE COMING….ON RICK PERRY
First: Michelle Bachmann’s overheated and hypocritical challenge at the debate. When Bachmann was part of the Minnesota legislature the Hepatitis B vaccine was mandated without parental opt-out and there is no record that she opposed it in any way. After the debate on the news she quoted a mother who claimed her child developed “mental retardation” after the vaccine. That charge is beyond stupid and bows to the uninformed Americans who are opposed to all vaccines and claim that they cause autism. Like the global warming cultists no mount of scientific facts will convince them. When she accused Governor Perry of taking contributions and potentially risking the lives of children, CNN got really busy checking up on candidates they don’t like….namely, all Republicans. In ten years as governor Perry got a total of (gasp) $28,000.00.
Pharmaceutical companies have contributed a great deal of money in America…..Does anyone stop to think that they would naturally favor candidates who want tort reform? After all, much of the money that could go to development and research is spent on defending themselves from spurious litigation.
Furthermore, much of the brouhaha is because it is a vaccine for a sexually transmitted disease and abstinence is preferable, but a little realism is best. Does Bachmann really think abstinence can be pushed on American teenagers? Why doesn’t she ask Sarah Palin, who has the experience of millions of mothers who tried to maintain scrupulous morals at home but in spite of it her teenage daughter was unmarried and pregnant.
2.Immigration: Again, Bachmann should be asked about her home state where radical Mosques have proliferated, and its legal immigrants have taught Jihad and many have gone to fight along side of the Jihadists in Somalia.
Rick Perry’s decision to permit children of illegal immigrants to attend college is humanitarian. Not one of the other self righteous contenders has a border with Mexico and an in state large population of illegals. If those young people do not get a chance for education they would be in the street, and until I hear one real proposal for reform that deals with the illegals already within our borders, I’ll stick with the Perry solution of guest worker cards. As to building a huge wall, again, he is right. Just read about all the tunnels that have been built wiht direct access to all our southern border towns.
I liked Bachmann but her attacks were outrageous and her role is now that of a spoiler rather than a contender.
