Wow! Texas just became the first state to order all its school-aged girls to get the controversial HPV vaccine. Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a common cause of STDs and can lead to cervical cancer and other gynecological cancers.

Bypassing the Legislature, Republican Gov. Rick Perry signed an order Friday making Texas the first state to require that schoolgirls get vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer.

But why is it controversial? It's not except that some conservative groups believe girls with the vaccine will have more sex. That's right. These groups would rather expose young girls to HPV-related cancers than give them a vaccine that could save their lives.

So did Perry, who plays often to his anti-abortionist and religiously extreme base, suddenly grow some brains and a heart? Nope. Perry reasons for signing this executive order had nothing to his concern for "the safety and welfare of our children." The reason - the only reason - is that Merck, the maker of the vaccine, gave Perry alot of money and lobbied him hard.

Perry has several ties to Merck and Women in Government. One of the drug company's three lobbyists in Texas is Mike Toomey, Perry's former chief of staff. Perry also received $6,000 from Merck's political action committee during his re-election campaign.
 
From MoJo:

Hands off: In 2004, whistleblowers repeatedly informed Perry's office that the Governor's Texas Youth Commission hires and protects "known child abusers." His office ignored the warnings. Three years later, the story broke that top officials with the TYC had learned of and done nothing to stop widespread child molestation at a juvenile detention facility in West Texas.

Rick Perry's fancy accounting cleaned up the Texas State Deficit, but their's still a lot of debt on the books, and future generations will have to pay for it.

This is a liberal slanted article, so I'd stick with the fact the state is not debt free. And shifting the burden of its borrowing onto future generations.
We can't ignore the debt crisis right here in Texas
Under Perry, the state borrowed money for roads
By JIM DUNNAM

With all our attention focused on the federal debt-ceiling debacle in Washington, it is easy to ignore our own state debt crisis here in Texas. Texas' debt is increasing at a rate that rivals the federal government's, yet no one seems to know it.
We have heard how our new Texas budget cuts more than $4 billion from our schools and students, but not about our ballooning state debt.
Before Rick Perry became governor, Texas was a pay-as-you-go state for roads, meaning we used current gas tax receipts to pay for new road construction. Our forefathers set up a system where transportation needs were paid for then and now, not by passing the buck to future generations. Under Gov. Perry, all that changed.
Starting in 2001, Texas started borrowing money for new road construction, pushing that cost onto future taxpayers. In just a decade, this debt has grown from zero to $11.9 billion. With interest payments, future taxpayers and our children will need 20 years and $21.1 billion to pay off that debt. There is even more about to be borrowed. In all, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has authority to borrow $17.3 billion, with a 30-year payoff of $31.1 billion, further shifting the burden to our children.
To make matters worse, new transportation debt is being secured by general state revenue, not just the gas tax. The exact same taxes we use to pay for public education, state universities and health care are now being diverted to make bond and interest payments on this debt. Imagine what future Texans could do without being saddled with $14 billion in interest payments over the next generation. They might not have to take money out of their public schools or health care. They might even have a real tax cut some day.
This debt is as potentially crushing on the future of Texas as the federal debt is for our United States. Texas' borrowing has gotten so bad that we are now spending more annually on debt service than we are paying for new roads. According to TxDOT's latest figures, we will spend $1.72 billion on debt payments over the next two years, compared to $1.28 billion for new roads. Just like Washington, Austin is borrowing and spending away our future.
Texas should have never gotten away from the pay-as-you-go system for roads. Our tax system is inefficient and broken. Instead of fixing our broken revenue structure, changing the 20-year-old gas tax methodology, or closing tax loopholes, nearly all of our future infrastructure needs are to be funded by borrowing from the future generation of Texans.
With infrastructure needs only expected to grow, TxDOT continuing to issue bonds is unsustainable. Soon, all funds will be needed just to service the debt and pay interest, leaving nothing for future needs. In fact, bond rating agencies are already looking negatively upon toll road debt in the states, so even that favored option of Perry's will be gone.
Texas' political leadership likes to flaunt our balanced budget and admonish the federal government for its lack thereof. But those leaders are living in a giant glass house and deceiving Texans. The balance in Texas' budget is achieved largely through accounting tricks and debt, both of which shift the burden to future taxpayers. Genuine equalization between revenue and spending levels is nowhere near the truth about Texas' budget.
Today's successful Texas politicians shout, "No new taxes," then cut public education and health care for children, use accounting tricks to delay bills and advance receipts, then pat themselves on the back for balancing the budget. In the meantime, they quietly saddle future generations with billions in new debt obligations. Their borrowing means our children will pay nearly double tomorrow for what they are unwilling to pay for our needs today. Our parents did not do that to us, and we should be ashamed for betraying that legacy.
Texas needs roads, and we also need education. We have to have an honest conversation about how we can balance these needs without extreme cuts and without simply putting it all off for others to deal with.

(yes, I'm just using this thread as my notepad for posting negitive things about Perry on his FB page, but there is more than enough here to sink him in the eyes of anyone who will take the time to read it.)

How easy is it to do that on his facebook. Could I go over there every hour and post a new negative link, or the same negative link? Do they ban you? How quickly do they delete the links?
 
It is absolutely sickening to hear all the right-wing neocon radio hosts shilling for Perry already. The man apparently walks on water. They are quick to defend him. Any question he's not the Chosen One, per the globalists?


I say we play their game. Call in to talk radio, post comments, etc., where we state that yes, America DOES need to elect a globalist like Rick Perry, because of the New World Order, how things have changed, how it's a global economic system, how we're losing jobs to China, etc., and how Rick Perry the Globalist candidate is exactly what will cure all our ills.

That should get the Christians, at least, to think twice about him.

It's pretty easy and I haven't been banned from Perry's page yet or seen any links deleted (I'm sure they'll clean up sooner or later).
One thing is I never mention Ron Paul while spreading bad info about Perry or Romney to avoid any blowback. If they ask who I support I'll say Johnson or someone else (Romney on Perry's page and vice versa).
Perry's page will show link previews, Romney's has them disabled, but they show in comments.

Do not call into radio shows and blather about NWO, Bilderberg, or any of that. They'll laugh you off the air just like they did in 2008. Also, be careful about posting negative stories about Perry that are sourced from Huffington Post, Mother Jones, or any other lefty site. The Tea Party conservatives who are his target will automatically disregard anything from sites like that and be pushed even further into his camp.

We have to be aware of how important identity politics is when it comes to deflating buzz for candidates like Cain, Bachmann, and Perry. People develop emotional attachments to them because of their rhetoric, and that's reinforced by shills like Hannity and Limbaugh singing their praises.

Perry's negatives should be presented dispassionately and on a fact-based basis. His record is full of ammunition, but the trick is to present it in a way that the facts speak for themselves. Something like, "Sure, Texas has a good economic record, but I'm very troubled by his making Texas the first state in the nation to grant in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. I also understand that he used eminent domain to seize private property for a trans-state toll road that wasn't even completed. And I can't imagine why he thought it was a good idea to implement forced vaccinations of 6th grade girls with Gardasil, which is for HPV. It shows a consistent disregard for people's basic rights that reminds me way too much of the Obama Agenda!"

That kind of presentation hits Tea Party conservatives where they live and makes them question whether Perry's really "one of us." Once they do that, they can actually evaluate him objectively, rather than getting instinctively defensive and feeling attacked. If you attack Perry before you've gently disrupted their emotional identification with him, they're going to react like you're attacking them, and they won't listen to one thing you have to say.

For example, I just posted this on a pro-Ron Paul aricle:

I think America needs a more globally-oriented candidate, someone like Rick Perry. He has a direct lead to the world elites and God knows, America can use someone like Rick to make us competitive again globally. Ron Paul would probably just try to make America relevant only by going back to the Constitution, which is sorely out-dated. I think Rick is more attuned to the New World Order than Ron.

Yes, this is exactly what we should do. No need to mention Ron Paul...Just say you want to talk about the Chosen One. They'll lap it up.
 
I just checked Perrys page again,and they have done some cleanup. The images of his college transcripts have been removed from the photo's section and some of the links removed.
The page is facebook.com/GovernorPerry in case your looking for it.

Guess I missed this one for the thread:
http://www.burntorangereport.com/di...leaned-records-for-thousands-of-sex-offenders

For six years, Rick Perry let as many as 2,000 sex offenders roam free -- and we know full well that at least one of those sex offenders returned to Texas.

The hammer has dropped. No more puppies and kittens. From Bill White himself:

"Rick Perry cleaned the records of thousands of convicted sex offenders who were deported and kept this policy until we confronted him about it," said White. "Perry even let deported criminals keep valid drivers licenses."

"Because of Perry's failure to secure the border, local police spend their time arresting illegal immigrants who commit crimes every day, as they did when I was Houston's mayor," said White.
 
That all needs to be fact-checked, Razmear. Bill White had a vested interest in smearing Perry.
