The design of this debate was to give Perry the most pitches/questions. Other candidates were then able to process his answers and respond. A total hack job.
NOT when you allow your VP and your Union buddy call Americans ‘sons of Bitches’ and Barbarian's...that does not make a nice guy...
Now we know Romney is a poor judge of character...
I believe that giving kids condoms encourages sex, mostly because it is an adult affirmation that you are expected to be having sex. Also, to the degree you might be scared of getting a girl pregnant or catching a disease, the condom removes that fear.
But I don’t buy that people are deciding not to have sex because of HPV. So I don’t think getting a vaccination that only protects you from half the HPV cases would change that equation.
I have never been impressed by Gardisil, but it is amazing the large number of women who end up getting HPV. Assuming Gardisil didn’t have side effects, and was effective, unless you were certain to marry someone who was a virgin, it might well be worthwhile to get vaccinated.
Virginia required HPV vaccinations for a while, I think they stopped. My daughter never got the vaccine, it’s up to her now since she’s 18.
And Dr. Bombay could be Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
RuPaul embarrassed himself again tonight. A border fence would keep Americans in?! I know he's not all there but does he really think Americans will be trying to escape America to Mexico?!
I wonder what his supporters will have to say about that. Given what I know about them they probably think it was a reasoned response.
“I didn’t hear the speech by Obozo...”
It’s Thursday night.
Frankly, not that extraordinary.
Perry called Obama an abject liar.
Milt called him a nice guy.
McCain would not utter his middle name.
I don’t support a border wall either.
I support an air-dropped, often-refreshed border “smart” minefield. Problem solved in less than a month. Wall would take too long and wouldn’t stop anyone from dozing right through.
Like, oh, myself and my circle of friends. We’re under 40, we KNOW we’re not going to see dime one of anything we’ve paid in. Ever.
Social Security, as it exists right this second, IS a Ponzi scheme.
Newt believes in Man-Made Global Warming and supports taxation and other schemes to mitigate it. That tosses him right out.
If Palin doesn’t declare soon, she won’t be on several primary ballots, to say the least. Things have changed since 1980.
I am interested in Palin, but as long as she is undeclared, she’s not really a candidate, now is she?
Good, but it would have to be a Constitutional amendment. Otherwise a future congress could change immigration policy.
Mike, you're probably a nice guy, so I'm not going to go snarky on you for puffing up your chest at me like that. It's late, and I'm in no mood to honor your request at the moment.
That said, I made about the most provable claim you can make on this forum. You don't need me to prove anything to you. The ugliness I spoke of is littered all over the place. Just take a look. Nearly anywhere. It's utterly rampant.
Thanks for the link -- I love the quotes!
BTW-Already posted my references. Look it up. While you're at it you might run across your lie accusation aimed at moi. I really don't care if you agree with me, but if you have nothing civil to say just go away.
There is nastiness from all sides. It's very sad really. Compared to the DummycRATS, all our candidates are better informed and have tons of real life experience. It is disheartening to see everyone at each other’s jugular. I'd rather be at Obama’s jugular. Just saying. : (
You are unhinged. There is no reasoning with you or challenging your statements. Drama Queen? Yep that pretty much sums up your ‘over the edge’ reaction to being challenged.
I’m not looking up your sources from your previous posts. You made the accusation tonite; now back it up.
I agree. It would have been very nice if some folks had just let us Palin supporters express our admiration for her without going postal on us. I was never looking for a fight, but I will fight back. Daddy taught me that well.
