“However, the gardisil vaccine has not had long term testing.”

FDA does not require long-term tests of drugs - cholesterol or other.

Oh please. I am so sick of politicians giving convoluted B.S. answers. Michelle is being strong, firm and straight forward. She uses facts and logic. IMHO, she’s doing a great job tonight. Perry is OK, but I DO NOT like him skirting the mandatory vaccine issue and in-state tuition for ILLEGALS. Good for Michelle for calling him out. I for one, am not impressed with his weak, B.S. answers on those two issues.

Whenever they cut to a picture of Huntsman when someone else is speaking, Huntsman always looks like he smelled a fart.

Be very wary of him. He isn’t even close to being a republican or conservative, but the MSM adores him- and that’s a dangerous thing. He’s the ‘new breed of republican’ (code for liberal), according to them.

Wolf “the hairy dingleberry” Blitzer doesn’t have to be “after” Perry. Perry just opened a vein and killed himself on the issue of illegal immigration. “

Damn, he sure did. That was unbelievable.

Ron Paul is becoming more rational.

Before he thought it was the US and Israel that bombed WTC.

Bachmann suddenly came to life with the executive order question and now she's a big bitch to a lot of people. Go figure.

Right. Bachman being willing to break the 11th commandment and attack and WEAKEN her fellow Republican shows she is more concerned with her own power and winning than she is with beating Obama.

There’s the rub. “Foreign” students don’t get in-state tuition. RESIDENTS do.

After tonight, I can’t wait for Palin to announce.

Perry is close.

Cain is great also.

I can live without the rest of them.

It’s because it has to be given PRIOR to sexual activity to be effective and unfortunately that age is becoming younger and younger.

There is NO CURE for the virus HPV.
