This week I followed the CNN GOP Tea Party debate which was on Monday. One of the highlights of this debate was Congresswomen Michelle Bachmann’s criticism of Governor Rick Perry’s executive order in 2007 to vaccinate Texas girls against human papillomavirus. Senator Rick Santorum agreed with the Bachmann, and throughout the night criticized Governor Perry. Perry was also criticized for signing the Texas DREAM Act in 2001, which granted in-state tuition to some children of illegal immigrants during the debate. Most of the issues Perry was criticized for would have most likely not have been mentioned in a Democrat debate. Does this mean Rick Perry would be too liberal for the nomination? Or does this mean his opponents are more conservative?
