It does sound high there is a chance I could be mistaken about what was said, but one thing I am sure of is that Perry ordered several babies removed from their incubators and placed on the cold floor because they did not have health insurance.
Hmmm.... oh wait that was the lie Bush used to get us in the first Iraq war, my mistake.

After they struck out so badly with Trump and that wierd weasel that lives on his head they decided the next fronrunner would be the first guy that came along with decent hair. It doesn't matter what the guy has said or done in the past. Even the idea of ripping the Texas star off the flag would be OK. Being Al Gore's manager is OK. All those kinds of things can be well looked after by just lying about them. Bad hair though???? That's a problem that no amount of blundering bluster can cure.

Toomey, who has declined requests for comment, has since helped found Make Us Great Again, a pro-Perry super PAC that can accept unlimited donations from corporations and wealthy donors. The group plans to raise as much as $55 million to help Perry compete for the GOP nomination, according to media reports

I agree his answer was not good, especially considering he had to know the question would eventually come up. The only thing I can think of is that since is very same issue came up in 2010 when he was running for governor, he really does believe that it's been vetted and he didn't do anything wrong. However, even if that's the case, he had to know it would sound terrible.

Anyway, as I've said we'll see how far this can propel Bachmann or Romney back up. I know Bachmann is certainly jumping all over this while she can.

Default Perry lied about merck donations

Say it ain't so dog gone it! In the Tea Party debate, Perry said he received $5,000 from Merck Pharmaceutical company when in fact he received more than $28,000. Perry has been criticized for receiving political donations from the same company that makes the vaccine against human papillomavirus. Perry bypassed state senators and representatives and signed the executive order to make it manditory for all girls over 10 to take the vaccine.

At this rate, Perry is going to bury himself before we make it to election year.

There are tons of articles on the internet about Perry and his lobbyist buddies. Perry is a lobbyist's wet dream.

Bachmann made good points against Perry, but in her typical stupidity with the mental retard nonsense, negated any credence she may have had.
