Well said and so true!

[dusttoyou]

Didn’t see it, but sounds like Jay just handed Michele all the rope she needed and she just kept tying that knot.

Really hate to see her self destruct, thought she brought some good conservative ideas, until Waterloo and then the inability to shut up while she was ahead and quote some unkonwn “person” with outlandish claims, which she can not substantiate. Impulsiveness is not a trait we need the President to practice, just too much at stake.

[Reagan Man]

Bachmann in total meltdown!

Sad and pathetic.

[dusttoyou]

Foolish statements on all counts. Too many here watching for you to play so loose with the facts.

Perry had a very similar situation to Michele’s “foot in mouth” at the last Texas Governor debate where Deb Medina self destructed not knowing when to shut up admitting she was a libertarian Truther. Maybe Michele watched that debate too many times training for these debates and got scared and foolish or then again she may just be angling for Mutt’s VP.

I'm threading about HPV not Perry or Backmann, okay? I guess you should be threading at Salon.com.

“It’s something that could potentially have dangerous side effects,” Bachmann replied.

And there may be tiny flying pink unicorns on Neptune. Maybe it’s possible and nobody proved that they don’t exist!
Show me, don’t tell me. You’re not a doctor? Then find one and ASK him.

Mitt doesn’t want her. He may want someone from the south who can attract the hispanic vote.

Right on! Good post!

‘“That whole ‘pray the gay away’ thing, I don’t get it,” Leno said’

Leno seems like he’s mocking people who pray.

“If anyone saw that interview, it was not good for Bachmann.”

I saw it, and thought she did great. In fact, I posted yesterday that I thought it would make her poll ratings increase (at least with conservatives).

“If anyone saw that interview, it was not good for Bachmann. It was very uncomfortable and Leno was being a real hard ass. I don’t think it left a good impression on the people who watch that type of show about Bachmann.”

I usually like Leno - I think he’s actually rather conservative in real life, at least as far as comics go.

Can’t stand Letterman, though. He’s a true lefty, is mean-spirited, and indeed makes Leno look conservative for sure.

Mitt wants Rubio.

[llandres]

“Mitt wants Rubio.”

Pretty much ALL of them want Rubio. It could win the important Hispanic vote. To listen to the pundits, BHO’s peed in the punch bowl where Jews are concerned (finally!).

[SaxxonWoods]

Hey, that Chris Matthews can pick ‘em, can’t he?

Actually, I feel sorry for her. She has now crashed AND burned. What’s next, drawn and quartered?

[R.I.chopper]

“Women need to make sure they’re marrying circumcised man.”

That’s the stupidest remark I’ve ever heard on FR...makes me not want to come here anymore...geeeesh...some of you guys.....geeeeesh

[Gene Eric]

She’s a tenacious individual.

[ballplayer]

Dont Care about either,she is Going down fast. Get on the Issues People care about or get out of the way

[Diogenesis]

Good for Ms. Bachmann.

SHE speaks for patients’ rights.

The RINO Rick (Captain Gardasil)? Not so much.

[algernonpj]

She's actually right about HPV vaccine why mandatory. Even Rush Limbaugh not criticizing her about her HPV assessment. What's the mortality rate of cervical cancer? There were 759 women died of cervical cancer in 2008. Compare to how many people getting killed in vehicular accident?

Science is being thrown out the window to cheer lead for the vaccine!

Gardisal may protect against four of fifteen HPV viruses that can cause cancer.

Gardasil has been aggressively promoted, often as giving life time immunity, but data as of 2009 only demonstrated effectiveness for five years. In fact, there has not been a chance to study long term side effects of the vaccine.

Gardasil does not eliminate the need for PAP smears. PAP smears on a timely basis detect early pre-cancerous changes that can be treated. PAP smears are recommended every 1-5 years, starting 3 years after one's first sexual contact or at age 21.

Gardasil is approved for girls as young as nine years old, despite the fact that the youngest girls participating in clinical trials were 11-12 years old.

A recent study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, also questioned the general effectiveness of Gardasil.

The serious adverse effects reported through VAERS include: Guillain-Barré Syndrome, seizures, blood clots, anaphylactic shock, paralysis, coma, and death. These are very serious side effect to trade off for possible protection against some of the causes of cervical cancer.

Serious questions have also raised about risk benefit ratio in the US, and the accuracy and quality of information available to parents who are making the decision to get their children vaccinated.

Unfortunately the CDC, along with the FDA and EPA have had their missions severely compromised by political agendas, and one is wise not to take their cheer leading for Gardasil as the final word. Just take a look at what passed for science in the mandated replacement of CFC inhalers with HFA inhalers.
