I’ll add this.
In 2007 (the most recent year numbers are available)—
•12,280 women in the United States were diagnosed with cervical cancer.
•4,021 women in the United States died from cervical cancer.
>> Rush seemed embarrassed by her remarks <<
I wonder if Rush’s new wife has influenced his views, or at least his “expression” of his views?
Obviously Bachmann is not ready for prime time.
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Now, Mitt Romney. Romney, as time goes on, looks presidential. He gets better as a debater. I think he was better last night than he was the previous time, but not backing away from Romneycare is a mistake. He's gonna have big problems with this.
I think Romney has an uphill climb to win Republican primaries, given the mood of the country, because Romney is in the position here of having to rely on mistakes made by others (in this case Perry) or Romney is going to have to rely on mistakes that he can force others to make. Now, Perry has weaknesses, they all do, but he carries himself as a conservative. You know what the attitude about Perry is? Let me tell you what it is. Right now, without taking a single phone call today I can tell you what the attitude about Perry is in conservative Tea Party circles. I'll betcha I'm right about this. "Get off this vaccine! Okay, I've heard it, I get it. He's admitted it was a mistake. Okay? And this immigration thing, fine and dandy, but I'll take Perry over Obama any day!"
That's what's going around out there. If you're a Romney fan, that's what you're saying about Romney. "I don't care about his health care! I'll take Romney over Obama any day." The others on the panel need their supporters to be saying the same things about them. Perry is not gonna back down on his immigration stance. The audience grumbles. You can hear them. The thing is, why does Perry appear strong when he sticks to his position on immigration and Romney looks weak when he sticks up for Romneycare? Because he does. Have you noticed that? Perry seems strong when he defends his positions; Romney doesn't; and I think that's probably because Romneycare is Obamacare no matter how many times Romney says states' rights or laboratory or test or what have you.
Each issue is a problem for the candidate because you just can't say "states' rights" and expect to be forgiven for unsound and unpopular decisions or policies. But now here's a key: Romney and Perry both get hammered for their records as governors. Having a record is tough. Just ask our man-child president who's trying to pretend that he doesn't have one. Obama is try to pretend that he doesn't have a record. He hasn't done anything. The problems were so bad, he inherited all this from Bush. It's worse than he thought. All he's done is good stuff. He doesn't have a record but Perry and Romney do, and that's why, on balance -- even during our candidates' worst moments -- they are hands down far superior to Obama.
snip........
I mean that. They really ought to quit the Republican primaries and go over and challenge Obama. It would be far more interesting and they'd be far more at home with what they're doing. In neither case do you have warmth or even a lightness in their personalities. Herman Cain. People call here and say, "Why didn't you talk about Herman Cain?" I'll talk about Herman Cain. Herman Cain last night was on fire. When it came to the EPA, you know, the candidates were asked what would you do to clean the environment. He cited the EPA, you know what he said he would do? He would appoint EPA victims to run it. That is a fabulous idea!
snip......
Romney's worried that Ponzi scheme scares seniors, but he's not worried that Romneycare scares Republicans. I'm gonna tell you something: In a comparison to those two, Romneycare scares Republicans far more than Ponzi scheme scares senior citizens. This is where political instincts come into play. Romney's defending the indefensible, which is Romneycare; and he's attacking the concept of reforming Social Security because he's saying (paraphrased), "Don't even bring it up! We can't win elections by talking about Social Security." This is not, by the way (I continue to stress here) a pro-Perry comment right now. I haven't endorsed anybody. Don't want anybody to misunderstand here. I just think Romney needs to step back and take a look at these issues through a conservative lens.
There's no political opportunity in taking on positions that sound a lot like what opportunistic Democrats would say. Not in a Republican primary. Now, Romney is not that, but that's the vibe that he's putting out right now. Any time you start doing anything that looks like you're pandering to the media, you're running the risk here of turning off Republican primary voters. Reform programs that are structured to fail are not good programs. We need to end programs that are hostile to individual liberty, and this is something every Republican ought to be able to agree with on that stage and in these debates.
As we both know, even a loose cannon like her would be 10x better than Hussein Obama!
Palin is also a proven quitter.
Go here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2740839/posts?page=20#20
Follow section9, he is flippin brilliant....
She did what was best for AK, given how the politicized legislature was galvanized against supporting any of her agenda after her VP run.
Somehow, I don’t think the actual situation matters to you, you’re just looking to be a jerk.
I’m not sure what your point is. There was an opt-out option, but it didn’t matter since the “mandate” never went into effect.
So what you are saying is okay he wanted to be a socialist but since it never took effect, he’s not?.....lol
Yeah that will work...he just made a mistake....lol
Rush is wrong and so are you....and I am going to go watch my phils coast to another division title....lol
So, it’s OK for you to attach labels to Rick Perry, but if I call Sarah Palin a “quitter”, which she is, I’m being a “jerk”.
That’s some amazing logic there, FRiend!
Didn’t I say between the lines? Yes I did.
The only untetsted vaccine I have ever seen approved to use is the Anthrax vaccine they made military folks get. The CDC had tested Gardasil on 29,000 people, approved it and certified it safe and effective before 2007 (June 2006). You apparently do not like the decision Perry made about his EO and I can understand that. I think that being dishonest about the safety of the vaccine diminishes people making the argument. Look it up if you want, here is a link to the CDC HPV page: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/hpv/default.htm
Skeeter! Thank you for saying that!
“One of these ‘doofuses’ will face Obama a year from November.
I hope that for once we can avoid becoming so emotionally involved and bitter when our guy loses that enough sit out the general election.
Thats the only way the incumbent can a-hole walk in for a second term.
Threads like these aren’t exactly inspiring.”
Get it together people. Seriously. Stop the infighting. The ONLY question we should be asking: Of those in the race right now...who can actually win?
I say Perry is the ONLY candidate that can beat Bozo the KLOWN. Perry is getting hit hard by the others - but he’s keeping is cool and he is definitely smizing better now during the debates! (Smizing=smiling with eyes)
Illegals climb over fences and dig under them too...so as a Texas girl - I get it.
Mitt’s a loser from the last time. Let’s go with a winner, okay? Rally around whoever wins the nomination...but LORD, let it be a winner!
Baby steps!
So beautifully put.

I am still waiting for the debate where they have the courage to discuss this country’s #1 national security threat — Islam.
Notice that I did not say, militant Islam.
Now, please demonstrate WITH A TRANSCRIPT where Palin said that the Merck donations to Perry were pay-to-play. I watched the interview on the Fox website, and what I saw was Palin putting emphasis on Perry's chief of staff leaving and becoming a Merck lobbyist as evidence of crony capitalism. And only the most obtuse hacks can pretend that the revolving door between government and corporations is not a problem.
I am willing to be shown wrong, but you have to put something up to do that other than a claim not based on a transcript (and not as a few words lifted out of a larger paragraph, either).
Right you are Cripplecreek.St rick has no clue what awaits him with regards to the teaparty.
