What neither of them will ever shine a light on is the fact that he ;

1) supported and pushed for a $3,000,000,000 taxpayer funded research institute championed by lance Armstrong (not so different from Obamacare - it's not free market). Eight cancer scientists resigned from this place because they said the focus was based on political and commercial gain as opposed to science.

2) tea party folks booed him on the capital steps after putting till booths all over the place and supporting a new business tax

3) signed an executive order forcing the HPV vaccination of school aged girls even if it were against their (and their parents) will. Coincidentally, his former chief of staff was a lobbyist for Merck. Texas legislature went ape sh** and overturned it.

4) his Texas enterprise find has proven to be a joke, and is a nice way for them to funnel money to companies that donate directly to his campaigns. There is very little transparency, and it's "audited" by the board members. A true audit hasn't happened in a decade (up until a couple years ago). He uses his job numbers to decent this, but actually about 30% of the companies involved actually contribute to the overall job count in Texas.

The point of contention for me is that all these items are there if you dig, yet the media will keep it out of your reach - THEY ARE CHOSING THE CANDIDATES, AND WRAPOING THEM ALL NICE AND PRETTY. That's why I can't stand Hannity, Limbaugh and all the others. Either side, they are doing the same thing...

Up next is West.

1. How is a research insititute like obamacare? Are they forcing the citizens to buy something from a private company? Obamacare does that.
2. If one side is happy and the other is mad then the person govering is playing favorites and is not really looking out for the people. If both sides are upset cause neither got what they wanted then they are looking out for everyone. As for the actual tax cited here I don't know anything about it so whether it's right or wrong I have no opinion.
3. How is this different from the required MMR, Polio, and other immunizations required to start school? Especially since the vast majority of cervical cancer is caused by this virus and over 75% of women are exposed to it in their life time.
4. Again I know nothing of this issue and have no opinion.
