Title: Perry's worst lie yet?
Post by: 240 is Back on September 26, 2011, 06:25:46 AM
The lie:

"I got lobbied on this issue. I got lobbied by a 31-year-old young lady who had stage 4 cervical cancer. I spent a lot of time with her. She came by my office, talked to me about this program."

The truth?
Our ruling: Perry had an ally in Heather Burcham in 2007, but only after he issued his order. In the debate, in contrast, Perry brought up Burcham’s heartfelt advocacy while not speaking to criticism he had been lobbied into the order by a former aide representing a drug company. His statement misled by creating the impression Burcham swayed him to proceed with the executive order. In reality, by all accounts, that just didn’t happen.

Perry is a blowhard that does more damage to his campaign when he opens his mouth at the same rate that Palin did to McCain's.

Well, almost.
