Perry repeatedly found himself in the crosshairs, as the field of candidates took turns attacking his positions on illegal immigration, Social Security, and his controversial 2007 push to vaccinate Texas schoolgirls against human papillomavirus, a common sexually transmitted that can lead to cervical cancer. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, whose standing among Republicans has slipped dramatically since Perry entered the race, said she was "offended" by Perry's executive order, which included an opt-out provision for parents who did not want the vaccine.

Ron Paul is a moron. You showed your pitiful agenda by apologizing for government control and a mandate. That’s what tryants do.
I love your stupid apology: “oh, don’t worry about our facist control of your lives, you can opt out.”
Shove it. I don’t have to opt out of anything. I choose not to opt in. Leave me alone. Mind your own damn business.
Get in my face and you and your ilk will get a very quick education of the 2nd amendment.
Leave me the hell alone.
The CDC is a government bureaucracy just like any other. Why would you trust their recommendation? I worked in Drug Development in a biotechnology company for several years. The Pharmas, the FDA, the NIH, and the CDC are not altruistic organizations only looking out for our best interests.
Romney was smooth as syrup and calm as a glassy lake, all the while deflecting questions masterfully.
So you an expert on federal programs and financing ? Hello Paul nutter , no one makes money from Medicaid or SCHIPS.
I think California is about to do it.
So why is this an issue?
Texas had an opt OUT because otherwise it wouldn’t be covered.
And no ... getting the vaccine didn’t mean your girl was going to have sex ... like condoms from the school nurse didn’t mean your girl was going to have sex.

“Oh, but you can opt out. Just come fill out a form and get an overpaid unionized bureaucrat to approve your opt out.”
Communist.
Amen, sister (or brother) This gardisal attack is way out of proportion and out of hand.
It was definitely ‘attack Perry’ night and Michele Bachmann was the worst. She went way down in my estimation.
Yankees criticising a Texas governor about immigration problems is way stupid. They have no idea of the Texas situation. Perry has tried to tell people the truth but they won’t listen.
There are just too many miles involved and too many ways to thwart a fence — climb over, dig under ... We need more sophisticated ways to stop illegals and have gotten no help from Obama, of course.
Technology and manpower, maybe.
The best-qualified people are rarely the strongest candidates. They rarely even run.
The Ming Dynasty and the Russians didn’t hesitate to shoot intruders either. We don’t seem to want to do that.
Tens of millions of illegals have compromised and undermined our entire system, including our electoral process, choked off our schools, jails, social services, hospitals, killed, raped, robbed shot, kidnapped, ran over, burglarized hundreds of thousands of Americans, turning our borders into a lawless national security time-bomb.
I will not support those who aid and abet a violent, country killing invasion of America.
Perry tried to disarm the issue by admitting he was wrong but the blood was already in the water.
It’s because it’s all they have. His record governing makes all the others pale in comparison. We aren’t electing a master debater but someone who can start working to undo the crap 0bama has shoved through in his fundamental transformation of the country.
I thought Perry seemed a little taken aback by all the hate handed to him tonight, but he handled it pretty well.
He’s our best bet if Palin doesn’t get in.
Hey sister, I’m a sister...and a yankee... the thing that bothers me about Perry IS immigration.
I’m sick of the situation. The border needs to be handled. No amnesty. No DREAM ACT... no more incentives.
Here you go from the Washington Examiner, a conservative publication.

That left-winger Michelle Malkin has been all over Perry for crony capitalism for the past week.
Good point.
Do you have a citation for that claim?
He apparently got a $5000 donation from the company.
I did not write that I trust them. I wrote that FWIW, the CDC certified it and recommends it. I do not know about Gardasil and I do not particulary care one way or the other since the issue is presently dead in Texas. There are around 20 other states that have laws mandating it. I am curious, do you believe the CDC is out to gratuitously kill people?
