It stops ONE form of cervical cancer.

It stops several strains of HPV, not just one.

And on an if come, we are injecting 9 year olds?

Actually it was supposed to be 12-year olds. The idea is to get the vaccine before they are sexually active. Do you have any idea how many 12-year olds are already sexually active?

I refuse to experiment with my kids.

Good for you. That is why there was an opt-out.

As a woman, I was embarrassed for Bachmann tonight. She went from Class Act to Desperate Act. Expect poll numbers to reflect my feeling.

It is the same if the New England states and Kalifornicate want to let sodomites marry. It is a state’s rights issue.

healthcare companies will not pay for an “opt in”, but if it is in the law they have to - but you can opt out

Which means you and I pay for it instead.

“Cain will bring a sense of humor to the WH because America is too uptight”

You’d need a winch and a Ram Truck to pull a sewing needle out of Mitt’s ass.

Don’t count on polls. Sept. 2007 had Thompson and Rudy in the lead with McCain way back.

Hey..Perry wanted 11 and 12 year olds given the shots in question, in the event that they might become sexually active and thereby get cervical cancer...that`s it in the nutshell

So he shares the same values as those that want to have these same 11 and 12 year old girls put condoms on cucumbers.

Their argument is the same as his, if they should become sexually active as young girls, they will need to know how to put condoms on, it`s very much the same thing.

Now we know a little more about the guy that supported Rudy G for President in 2000, and this after telling us that he was deeply in repentance for supporting these same types of things while a Democrat.

The big lie is that he voted for Reagan twice??? I call him a liar, voted for Reagan yet campaigned for Gore in 1988...give me a break

Romney look desperate tonight.

At times so did Bachmann, Santorum and Huntsman. Too many canned answers.

Bachmann is shrill and her attacks ring hollow.

BAchmann lost me tonight compltely. I had no idea she was such an airhead. She stood there and listened to explainations and then pretened they said something completely different. I don't want anyone that empty headed near the levers of power. Boy, what a revelation!
