I think Romney is doing well too.
Me too. I’m really getting irritated about Herman Cain not getting to participate.
Paul needs to shut up. He’s wasting airtime.
“The Merck kickbacks were Perry’s motivation for Gardasil.
“It doesn’t have anything to do with his concern for girls.
................
really? Can you tell us how much money he got as a kickback from Merck?
That is a beautiful photo, thank you so much for posting that.
The MSM and Rhinos are all out for Perry because they KNOW he is the ONLY one that will beat the living crap out of Zero in the general election.
So tell Morris and Rove and the clowns on the panel they can take their questions about SS and shuv em up their you know whats..
Perry Rubio = LANDSLIDE VICTORY in 2012
I hate to admit it, but I think Romney is doing very well.
My thought as well.
Why. so. much. Paul?
Yeah that 6000 bucks in Merck money sure made a difference.
Romney’s not popular around here, but he is coming off fairly well. All of them are except RP whose ideas are just too out there for most Americans.
I like Cain, but he lost it by mentioning “Chile”, for goodness sake.
LOL!
I know. Actually, Perry “apologized” for Gardisil a while back saying he wished he had done an “opt in” instead of “opt out.” Whatever. He was right.
Romney & Perry seem to be working as a team.
Excerpted from: "Texas Gov. Orders Anti-Cancer Vaccine" By LIZ AUSTIN PETERSON
The Associated Press
Saturday, February 3, 2007; 4:33 AM ' "By using an executive order that bypassed the Legislature, Republican Gov. Rick Perry _ himself a conservative _ on Friday avoided such opposition, making Texas the first state to mandate that schoolgirls get vaccinated against the virus. Beginning in September 2008, girls entering the sixth grade will have to receive Gardasil, Merck & Co.'s new vaccine against strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV. Perry also directed state health authorities to make the vaccine available free to girls 9 to 18 who are uninsured or whose insurance does not cover vaccines. In addition, he ordered that Medicaid offer Gardasil to women ages 19 to 21."
MSNBC would like to dismis everyone but Paul for the rest of the debate. He’s liberal media gold.

They probably have donors already lined up to help him with his third party campaign.
Now that actually makes sense.
And what gall of leftist MSNBC to hold this in the Reagan building, when they vilified and hated him. Again, disgusting. No doubt it was influenced by RR’s mistake son, Ron - the Godless Marxist.
Correct me if I’m wrong. In order to enter school there are no required vaccines for STDs or cancers. That is until Perry sent through his executive order .
Cain giving a calm reasoned response now on limiting FedGov in favor of States Rights.
