That’s what was bugging me. It’s like they are making this into a sexual assault on young girls.

[MagUSNRET]

Read ANY fashion magaxine...the “mofels” are CHILDREN made up to look like adults......
Forgive me if this upsets some...but the more GOD leaves our livew AND SCHOOLS...the more our children are potential victims......We NEED to geto our country back...we NEED to get GOD back into our lives........
SOdom and GOmorrah are not just words, folks......
I leave you with that............and bid you good night

[potlatch]

First of all, thank you for your kind remark.

[A mandate is a tax. Tea Party is about opposing mandates/taxes without representation.]

Truthfully I had not thought about that much, but had I, I would still have concentrated more on the thought of preventing a disease, and I think you would too. Perry did.

And - we both know that none of the Perry bashing has been about the cost - at least I haven’t seen that myself. It is all about Perry MAKING young [innocent...] girls take inoculations because there were side effects in a few. There always are side effects from any inoculations, medicines, etc.

[xzins]

If you were to ask me what I think, CD, I’d bet that she wouldn’t run as a third party candidate.

But, if I also got to place a long shot bet on her actually doing so, I’d lay down the cash. Todd Palin used to belong to a 3rd party, she has not actually ruled it out in my mind, and she might think Romney OR Obama would be a tragedy for the nation.

[McGavin999]

No, 100% of the legislature did not vote for it. We're doing the reasonable thing and throwing out the legislators who did vote for it. That's what you get to do when you don't agree with something. Since the TEXANS did not vote their people out, since it was passed twice in 10 years in Texas, that means the Texans agreed with it.

Cripes, what part of 10 years don't you understand? The first part of that was started by Bush, who I seem to recall you supported.

[bvw]

You are right, Palin’s and Bachmann’s voices in passionate discussion also come off a bit shrill to me, and that’s true with other women from the upper midwest I know. As bad as the “Nanny” (Fran Dresher) high-pitched Newwww Yak twang.

Still, I can grow to appreciate and even love it.

[MagUSNRET]

thats “magazine” and “models” for those of you that count spelling

[P-Marlowe]

RINO, ya don't reward those who break our laws,

Those kids didn't break the laws. Their parents did. And their parents broke the law because the Federal Government has refused to enforce it.

What do you propose we do with these kids after they graduate from High School having never lived a minute in another country? Deport them to a country they have never known?

I'm sorry but my Christianity compels me to have some semblance of mercey, especially on the innocent.

BTW I dare say that none of the current crop of candidates would say that these children who were brought here through no fault of their own should be treated as criminals. Not Perry, Not Palin, not anybody.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

HA! ok yeah... I thought , yeesh, was there another candidate? ha.

Perry is sure getting attacked..maybe that’s what happens with a strong person..but why is no one else getting attacked.?

He comes out stronger in a funny way.

[miss marmelstein]

I did not mean to give the impression that she “likes the attention.” I merely said that she is happy that people are using her talking points.

I admire Palin greatly and hope against hope she gets in the race.

An expensive new vaccine that prevents cervical cancer will be available free to thousands more Alaska girls than previously announced, thanks to increased federal aid.
The state Department of Health and Social Services said Monday it will have enough money to distribute the vaccine Gardasil to at least 27,000 girls between the ages of 9 and 18.
State health officials said in April the shots would be provided free only to girls who were Alaska Native or American Indian, uninsured or...

It's an acquired taste...like Scotch...:oP

[bvw]

uh-huh!

[editor-surveyor]

>> Bachmann was asked tonight if she accepted Perry saying he made a mistake with gardasil.

She said, “No.” <<

.
If he were simply begging forgiveness for an honest mistake, I’m sure she would have said yes, but he wasn’t. He fought the legislature right down to the last vote, and then after losing there he signed the bill, and pretended that he had voluntarily rescinded his EO.

If he did this once, he’ll do it again, on some other violation of our rights. He is not qualified to be president.

[Eaker]

So many Perry plants here tonight it’s like a JUNGLE.

You are really calling FReepers, some of whom are from the class of '99 plants?

LOL!

[Tennessee Nana]

be working toward citizenship to qualify.
_________________________________________________

Illegal aliens cannot be “working toward citizenship”

Theres no such thing

To be be “working toward citizenship” you have to be here LEGALLY and have an Alien Registration Card (Green Card)

the number from the Green Card is entered onto the Naturalization document (top right)when the IMMIGRANT becomes an American citizen...

and so there is continuity in paperwork...

wanna see mine ???

[mylife]

I fully expect several candidates to step in it over Guardasil and the Dream act over the next week.

[crusty old prospector]

Right now, I'm thinking that Sarah doesn't deserve the job.

Blasphemer! Heretic! One of them needs to do some 'splaning.

HPV is warts. Look it up.

She said it AFTER the debates were over.

Oh my. She is not ready for prime time.
