So Arizona was wrong to protect its interests?
Paul should drop out. Got booed tonight.
BTW, Ron Paul just said he'd bring a bucket of common sense to the White House. I wonder where he is going to find one.
Id bring a truckload of shovels...GOD knows under all that chit, there has to be enough horses to run the Kentucky Derby!
We all have our litmus tests. A line we won’t cross when it comes to the voting booth. Anti semitism or racism in any form is mine...Ron Paul.
Everyone should do a little more investigating about how Gaurdasil is only about making money for some group or entity. The vaccine is not based on sound science and the risks far outweigh the benefits. The kids are innocent in all this, and that is unacceptable.
In 2008 alone, the FDA documented 6,723 adverse events related to this supposed cancer-preventing vaccine, touted to be the world’s answer to cervical cancer. Two years later, there have been a total of 20,727 Gardasil-related adverse events reported to the government, including 90 deaths and 8,600 emergency room visits and 2,000 hospitalizations after Gardasil vaccinations. And it is known that less than 10 percent of all adverse events following prescription drug or vaccine reactions are ever reported.
During Gaurdasil’s intial marketing campaign and indoctrination, it was primed to be a substantial money maker. Thankfully, man people have questioned its usefulness and safety. Mr. Gov Perry should have done his due-diligence. Gardasil has also been a relative financial FLOP for Merck, compared to expectations.
Gardasil was only studied for about five years before it was licensed and nobody knows how potentially ineffective this poorly studied vaccine will turn out to be ? especially if the four HPV strains in the vaccine are replaced by one or two of the many HPV strains that are NOT contained in the vaccine. Gardasil is also potentially very dangerous and a major waste of money. The science speaks for itself?it makes no sense to use a vaccine to prevent an infection that most people will clear from their bodies naturally. And Gardasil is NOT a cancer vaccine, despite what they would have you believe.
Gardasil does not protect against all types of HPV (human papilloma virus), and you can still get cervical cancer even if you’ve been vaccinated. Even the National Cancer Institute says:
“It is important to note that the great majority of high-risk HPV infections go away on their own and do not cause cancer.”
Huntsmamn’s tie is on the same color gradient.
His pedigree is not showing up his politics. I don’t think I’d like him.
Perry I could go for a beer with. Sarah, too, for that matter. These two and Cain know what dirt under your fingernals feels like.
I’m thinking Sarah’s presence as a Northern Star shines so purely that that light of hers is its own strength. A WH run by that woman would be a real lair. Having her as a COS or a secretary would be great. She’d make a great VP, although I’d vote for her as POTUS.
I am wondering who’d just plain flat out STAND against the ChiComs, NK, the Arabs, Iran, Saudis. Who will ferrett out the infiltrators here and blast the seditious from our midst. I want someone who’s not going to need a fresh jar of Vaseline every day.
And that’s Perry’s fault?
President Perry, Vice President Cain!
Perry mentioned his beautiful wife Anita
Romney right after him didnt mention Ann...
in 2008 he dragged Ann everywhere...
Ann has MS and should have been home in bed...
ditto.
perry ran the gauntlet, took some hits,
but made some good points.
Get real.
and they should go back to Mexico and wait 12 years to get a visa????
Perry won this round!
Cain will bring a sense of humor to the WH because America is too uptight.
The Tea Party questioners have come off very, very well. CNN probably was expecting them to be a bunch of one-tooth kooks.
Really? Was it put on a ballot for the people to vote?
Thank you.
It doesn’t matter what you say or how you explain or how clear it is, irrationality rules.
Haha...Herman Cain!! I really like that guy!!
Coming from the horses mouth!
(Not that you really look too much like a horse ...... oh, you know what I mean!)
