Yes, that is my question. How is this vaccine different from the mandatory vaccines that are given routinely in school districts across the country? Because this one is for a sexually transmitted disease?

Good grief...what do these people think an opt out is?! Girls were not getting shots against parent permission!

I can't be bought for $5,000 either.



So, start the bidding at $5,001.

Romney asked about national sales tax. Says it would make us more competitive and level the playing field. Says middle income people would be hurt under "Fair Tax." Says no taxes on savings, cap gains for middle income.

Question about executive orders, what circumstances and how often used? Ron Paul says it's been abused but has a proper role. Never should be used to legislate. Perry asked about Gardasil executive order. Admits it was a mistake. Mentions opt-out.

Bachmann suddenly has only 3 children? Attacking ObamaCare. Bachmann mentioning the business connection. Perry names Merck and says it was a 5000 donation and if Bachmann thinks he can be bought for 5000 out of a 30 million campaign fun, he's offended.

Santorum saying the policy was wrong, not just the way it was done. He wants opt-in and he's joining with Bachmann in ignoring the opt-out provision by saying there was no choice.

Caught that.

Bachmann was too polite to say: “Well what number COULD you be bought for?”

If there’s an opt out, and since he admitted it was a mistake to sign a law without researching it, why not just rescind the law and make the vaccine optional? HPV is not a communicable disease, and quite frankly, its tantamount to encouraging young teens to have sex.

She’s a shrill power hungry witch tonight. She can kiss it. Oh that’s right she already did, when she kissed Romney.

Perry is not doing well. If he can't do well here, he will not do well against Obama and company. He has some work to do, IMO.

If Perry’s the candidate the Gardasil issue will come up again. Dueling with Bachmann is good practice for him.

Perry is taking an awful beating over those vaccinations by executive order...

He's the front runner and it's to be expected.

We want a strong candidate to go against Hussein, let him deal with the fire and come out tougher.

She didnt hear the part about “opt out”

It has only been stated over and over but some people only hear what they want to hear and others lie about what they heard.
