In the Fox News/Google GOP Debate last night Perry said the following:
And I thought just liberals called responsible conservative positions heartless!
Not anymore, apparently.
This is Governor Gardasil‘s second substantial strike against him as far as I’m concerned. First, this is a distracting social issue position that only helps Democrats by taking the focus away from the manifest failures of Obamanomics. Secondly, on a philosophical level Perry’s position is irresponsible on the sovereignty issue, reeks of pandering, and is financially costly. In the primaries, I’d rather take my chances on someone else (I’m still waiting, however).
