Yes, that is my question. How is this vaccine different from the mandatory vaccines that are given routinely in school districts across the country? Because this one is for a sexually transmitted disease?
Good grief...what do these people think an opt out is?! Girls were not getting shots against parent permission!
Two weeks ago in Key Largo I tried to get Rubio to commit to either potus or vp he won’t.
Question about executive orders, what circumstances and how often used? Ron Paul says it's been abused but has a proper role. Never should be used to legislate. Perry asked about Gardasil executive order. Admits it was a mistake. Mentions opt-out.
Bachmann suddenly has only 3 children? Attacking ObamaCare. Bachmann mentioning the business connection. Perry names Merck and says it was a 5000 donation and if Bachmann thinks he can be bought for 5000 out of a 30 million campaign fun, he's offended.
Santorum saying the policy was wrong, not just the way it was done. He wants opt-in and he's joining with Bachmann in ignoring the opt-out provision by saying there was no choice.
Go Perry!
Caught that.
Bachmann was too polite to say: “Well what number COULD you be bought for?”
>> Santorum and Bachmann look like asses here.
Agreed.
Cain speaks from experience re: reducing healthcare costs.
Romney getting question re: RomneyCare.
If there’s an opt out, and since he admitted it was a mistake to sign a law without researching it, why not just rescind the law and make the vaccine optional? HPV is not a communicable disease, and quite frankly, its tantamount to encouraging young teens to have sex.
Yeah. I think Bachmann just said good bye.
She’s a shrill power hungry witch tonight. She can kiss it. Oh that’s right she already did, when she kissed Romney.
Tried to tell people bachmann was a dirty fighter. Got creamed for it. also said earlier today that she would lowblow Perry and after tonight, she is gone.
You would think he would have learned a lesson from Charlie Crist.
If Perry’s the candidate the Gardasil issue will come up again. Dueling with Bachmann is good practice for him.
He's the front runner and it's to be expected.
We want a strong candidate to go against Hussein, let him deal with the fire and come out tougher.
It has only been stated over and over but some people only hear what they want to hear and others lie about what they heard.
I used to live in Ft. Bend Co. and Jane Long’s picture and story hung in the little museum there. :)
Cain keeping cool and presidential
Romney talking fast nervous
agreeing with Herman ???
Im running for president...
run on home Mitty
