She’s completely off my radar.
Does the time/space continuum still exist?
The only candidate strong (based on statements) against Muslim extremists is Herman Cain. I have not heard anything forthright from others on this issue. But then I can not claim I have heard every statement by others.
A good way to give us four more years of Obama.
She completely missed the part about the EO.
I’ve been on the Cain Train from the get-go.
Politicians got us into this mess, Herman Cain can get us out.
If they did, they are foolish. Eventually those girls will find husbands with unknowable exposure. Or they may be victims of rape.
Chastity does not protect you from the behavior of others.
Folks don't plan to get into accidents but carry insurance just the same. How is this different? It's managing risk.
I can't understand parents who see a vaccination as commentary on their parenting or children's moral character. It's daft. Do they believe illness is punishment for bad behavior or are they stubbornly resistant to their child's maturation into adulthood and the additional risks that will inevitably bring?
That would actually be a great team. Palin to clean house and keep Newt in line and Newt with his knowledge and experience.
Not EASILY communicable, not considered contagious.
If a kid goes to Texas schools K-12 and graduates from a Texas High School, why the heck should he have to pay out of state tuition to go to a Texas college?

DUH
cause hes not an American citizen nor here legally
and not a resident of Texas ???
/duh
Ever heard of opting out? It was part of the program.
I heard her take on perry,it seemed flameless compared to Bachman or Huntswoman,lets face it Sarah has class.
So, you also oppose any other Republican including Perry mentioning Romneycare? The Dims could quote other Republicans on that.
Because we live in a republic, not a democracy. What is the point of electing representatives if you don’t allow them to do their jobs? Do you really want mob rule as a democracy would give us?
See post 787 and several posts to me after.
[Thank you, Bill Clinton, for creating an epidemic to threaten our young people.]
LOL, Phil! You’re the first one to bring that up - although I don’t even think most here are aware of what’s going on with the young people, and the dangers of the HPV virus!
Then you are retarded. My outrage isn't manufactured, it's the same outrage I feel about Obamacare mandates issued by statists of the worst kind.
Comparing measles, mumps and chickenpox to STD's exhibits a serious lack of knowledge about all four. Having had the first three I can tell you that there was no genital contact involved which is required for HPV.
This is becoming a circus.
Why would a candidate endorse a noncandidate?
Well, Greta specifically asked her about Perry and Bachmann.
But, given that she endorsed Perry AFTER the whole Gardasil thing and even came down and did a huge rally with him, her comments tonight don’t really seem to be all that consistent.
Why would she endorse him if she felt so strongly about it?
Newt vs Biden.............OMG. Heck Newt vs anyone.
