I disagree, it could be a huge issue. What`s next, will Perry want 11 and 12 year old girls to put condoms on cucumbers? Not that much of a stretch.
I have heard all I need to from Perry over the last month, the guy is a loser POS, if that bans me fine.
Palin 2012 or bust
Two tanned tools :)
Shut up, Bachmann, you and your two years experience in the legislature.
i loved that line...I can’t b e bought for 5 grand!
He closed that part of the attack.
Read the fine print. The opt out was just that, don’t be a dummy like most uninformed people that had their daughter get the shot. Opt out hidden in the details. Not rocket science and it is govt slickster sheeple control.
I believe the legislature submitted a bill that nuked it and Perry signed it
ObamaCare needs the Obama Death Chat...
Yep, L. Ron sure harps against any spending for our troops and keeps spewing his Code Pink talking points.
Yet, I rarely hear him gripe about the excessive, wasteful spending on the welfare/entitlement programs. Those costs make the war costs look like a drop in the bucket.
I suspect that a mandate requiring Gardasil except when opting out made it covered by insurance for all who took it...
I will not vote for ANYONE that can not pronounce the word UNITED (listen up Michelle!)
She starts talking and then winds up and up ... just like Ron Paul - it’s like she’s yelling and not taking a breath. Drives me crazy to listen to her. I’ve always felt that way and I agree with her most of the time.
Judas
Yeah. And having sex NEVER happens with kids under 18.
100% correct.
Well, Bachmann just zinged Romneycare a good one.
Santorum and Bachman have hit the desperate button and it’s showing.
Yea! I swear mitties missed his calling. He’s an insomniacs answer to late night t.v.
[What`s next, will Perry want 11 and 12 year old girls to put condoms on cucumbers? Not that much of a stretch.]
Yes. It definitely is.
It’s early. All good things come in time. He’s moved from unequivocally ‘No’ to no commitment. I can live with that...for now. Our country needs him. (And he’s the first politician from FLORIDA to make wish I hadn’t moved from the state. )
