The question isn't just what the consequences of a certain policy or statement might be, but what the candidates' actions and statements say about how they would govern the country.John Althouse Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11703450281424023177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464222071440015933.post-89534740900030436532011-09-20T01:19:59.635-04:002011-09-20T01:19:59.635-04:00The NYT was hoping for a reason to eliminate Bachm...The NYT was hoping for a reason to eliminate Bachmann and she just may have done herself in with this. <br /><br />Of course some probably hope this tars Palin too- what with her support of Bachmann's rail against crony capitalism. But if the logic sticks -- that opponents of the vaccine are guilty of causing future cancer deaths, shouldn't they be going after Perry as well? After all, by not vetoing the TX legislature's undoing of his mandate, didn't he fail to protect some innocent lives? Perhaps the NYT is has thought this through better than I have.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.com
