Should have been an opt-in. Take off your Perry blinders.
If it has an opt out, why even have it as law? Answer? $$$$.
I have no feelings of good for these questioners from Ohio with all the ron paul signs. sorry. who are they?
As a Christian, I find this comment patently offensive. Just where in the Bible do you find the command for you to judge another man's relationship with Christ? If you want to disagree with him over policies, fine. But this comment tells me a lot more about your Christianity than his, and I must say, if that is what you are being taught, I hope I never visit your church.
“Palin 2012 or bust”
Then you go against the principles of Gov Palin. She said “GET INVOLVED”!!!!! If she decides to run then fine let’s get behind her and get it done. If she doesn’t then we need to find the candidate closest to our ideals and support them. Do you want another 4 years of the obamessiah? Absolutes like this could get us killed!!!! He is systematically destroying this country!!!
she is not in the campaign.
so write her in.
who on the stage do you want? Oh, I know, no one.
Why is HPV vaccine singled out? If it's wrong to force one kind of vaccine, it's wrong to force all of them. The focus is on the wrong issue.
Santorum, lying hack. “Unlike Perry, I’m for securing border”? Whatever.
The vaccine has to be administered before becoming sexually active to be effective.
GE hasn’t paid any taxes for the past two years. Immelt, the chairman of GE, was given a VIP seat at the joint session of Congress. GE own a large interest in NBC companies. NBC promotes Obama’s “Green” weeks. GE get’s tax credits for the “green” technology it sells.
I agree.
I rarely disagree with Rick Santorum and would like to see him chosen as the GOP VP candidate. But I disagree with his statement that gardasil should be opt in, not opt out for the simple reason that the kids who are sexually active at such young ages, and most in need of the vaccine, are the ones whose parents would be least likely to opt in.
Have some cookies. There was an opt out.
We gets opt out for polio vaccine too, yes?
No question I think Michelle could build consensus(for conservatives as well) in the House like few others.
"Scared" is not the word I would use.
"Contemptuous" is more in line with what I've seen.
I can follow his 999 plan. It is fairly simple math.
I know someone whose husband gave it her and it has been devastating in terms of her health.
BTW, Obama has allowed ‘opt out’ for Ocare. Guess that makes Ocare ok too, then.
Wow.....They would have had to pry me off of him....What a beautiful intelligent man(:
