Some vaccinations, yes, particularly for the airborne and easily transmitted viruses. But there are those, like rabies, that are limited to people in related high-risk situations.
HPV vaccinations are unnecessary for those who aren't sexually active, and even for those who are, HPV often clears up on its own and only causes cervical cancer in some.
Thank you. :)
But talk about a let down! 30 seconds of the ditto cam.
< sigh >
I watched most of it, and really thought the moderators were attempting to shape the debate and the time given to candidates appeared directly proportional to the latest poll results. Ithink that played against the group as a whole and put too much focus or lack thereof on specific individuals.
Huntsman supports AGW, so he's just lost 98% of the Republican base.
I thought Huntsman did well until he inferred I was an idiot because I am skeptical of the AGW theory and that the science was settled. Big mistake since that cuts his legs out regarding energy which is the core issue as it relates to climate change theory.
Newt, as usual was a great debater, but didn't do anything to indicate that his entire campaign won't implode tomorrow. THink he'd make a good Sec. of State though.
Perry was put on the hot seat all debate. Would like to see a percentage breakdown of questions (and follow ups) per candidate and time during the debate per candidate. The cameras were definately on him and they were looking for sound bites to use against him. Why did the field agree to MSNBC for this anyway?
Mitt was impressive. Some of that was due to format - never hit anything other than some fleeting Romneycare debate. Again - the debate seemed to be designed to pull ammo to use against Perry and was mostly softballs to Romney.
Every time Cain talked he made sense and talked well - but the moderators apparently wanted to minimize that and him. A shame in my opinion.
Bachmann was pretty flat in my opinion. Again - the moderators facilitated that, but she only did okay on the rare opportunities when the moderators blessed her with time to talk.
Ron Paul jumped the shark, looked lost, and paranoid. I very much like his dedication to the Constitution, but stating that we should not secure our borders from illegals coming in because those same securities might be used to fence us in was absurd. Not because it could never happen, but I want a president that believes that in the future our major problem is not going to be citizens trying to escape. Not a real positive concept in my opinion.
Nobody knocked it out of the part. The moderators and moderation were awful and in my opinion did their best to marginalize every candidate that was on stage.
I’m tryin’...but I would LOVE to see her make hash out of
some of these debaters AND the goofy panelists that ask
the ridiculous questions!
Praying for you, CC.
You take it out of context.
They are speaking of a border like the Canadian border were we actually see and end to border problems.
The only way we will ever get that border is for Mexico to stop robbing their people of opportunity and stop aiding the drug cartels.
All true!
Funny that you and I replied to that almost simultaneously after all that time.
Can you have an attorney general whose college degree is in animal science?
Why do you quote Holy Scripture in your tagline, while you insult a fellow Christian at the same time?
I am the wife of a 26 year Air Force Veteran who served in the current war.
Neither I nor my veteran husband are FOOLS.
AND WE WILL VOTE FOR WHOM EVER WE WANT!
The CERN study was just released like today. These people don’t track MMGW debates or eligibility debates or Fast and Furious etc. like alot of people here.
The CERN conclusions will start making the rounds shortly.
According to Chris Mathews, repubs are in danger of being the non-science party - based on our luddite attitudes toward MMGW and evolution. What a pompous dolt. I wonder if he’s good with Scientology?
From this debate he’s out on SS and he’s out on the border. He lost huge voting blocks on both issues.
It is acceptable. However, until tonight when I looked it up--I have never been called an Anglo. I always thought Anglo was a white protestant. It must be a regional thing. I think white would be more mainstream and more inclusive.
Thanks!
Thank you Jedidah, I hope everyone will read your post. So many, in other states, have no understanding of the history of Texas and the problems we face here.
