Fact Check: Perry Met Dying Woman After Vaccine Order

Now don’t start with the Fact Checking now or we’ll have to start tarring and feathering conservatives en masse .I don’t know if we can even find that much tar and feathers .

“NewSpeak” for ‘I lied’.

What a HORRIBLE thing to lie about. Rick Perry is FINISHED as a GOP candidate. Just despicable!

Did Perry actually say when he was lobbied on the HPV issue? NO

This is just another smear and media atempt to deceit.

As Perry “errs on the side of life” I can’t help but to wonder how many innocent people have been executed in Texas.

Arlette Saenz, the “reporter” is lying. ……….what a cheap shot

He doesn’t say he met her before the order.

Newsflash ABCnews, We have email and actual letters . Video conferencing .

Another great debate by Michele Bachmann! She is a true conservative.

Obama is a DISASTER that’s costing the U.S. a heck of a lot more than all the hurricanes and tornadoes combined. He lies everytime he opens his freakin’ mouth. It’s really embarrassing that we have enough stupid people in this country to elect someone like him.

I thought government mandates were wrong. What’s the difference between this and mandating that people get health insurance? If you’re really concerned about erring on the side of life.

When the government first required MMR, chickenpox, TB and a few others, because these diseases resulted in painful illness and or death, was there the same public outcry? HPV is the number one STD in the US. HPV has been proven to cause cervical cancer, which is a cancer that often times results in death. Cervical cancer is usually not detected until it is too late.
I believe Rick Perry had good intentions and he has admitted, he should have dealt with this issue in a different manor. I give him credit for admitting his mistake. I will support Perry because, he has compassion for the people affected by the controversail, divisive issues, facing our country. He is willing to admit his mistakes and he is a fiscal conservative. He is a fiscal conservative who is realistic about the issues facing our country. We all have the right to change positions on an issue but, we must clearly articulate our reasons for changing positions.
We should be more concerned with Obama and his devastating economic, social and foreign policies that are destroying our country at home and abroad.
Obama is killing the middle class and destroying our relationships with the few countries that have supported us in the past. November 2012, cannot come fast enough. I predict, the stock markets will skyrocket, the day after Obama is voted out of office.

Arlette needs to focus these laser sharp investigative journalism skills on the Colossal Failure in Chief who’s up to his eyeballs in lies and corruption. Instead, she’s following the MSM Mantra: “Protect O-Lame-O at all costs.” Too bad the media has no clue they’re in bed with the enemy, or Enemy, as it were.

It would be interesting to see Trump jump in and debate along side Paul and Romney.

oh, wow…at least three of the comments are trolls….saw the exact same paragraphs slamming Perry on other sites….liberals are stalking discussions and loading derogatory commentary. Wake up, America, you are being played.

this article and ridiculous headline were written by an obama voter. let’s deport all of that crowd who, with one touch in an election booth, have come close to destroying our country. the justification: stupidity and arrogance. remember there is a downside to the bell curve, and that is where you find obama and his devotees.

It’s possible he met her when he said he did.

Crossed Perry off my list tonight – I have a heart and I can’t stand that thousands of US Citizens can’t go to college because of the front of the line treatment that illegals get from Perry, Obama, McCain, Bush etc…

What everyone fails to recognize is that a VACCINE is not a DRUG. Its a WEAKENED DISEASE. And for you people who go against Perry, NICE TRY… : )

I had reservations about Perry and Mit. One tries to force people to ‘opt out’ of a vaccine, and one implented a pre-cursor to Obamacare. HPV is in most cases a sexually transmitted disease. In otherwords, most people would need to have sex to contract the disease. When people bring up things like TDAP or other things, these are voluntary – but with consequences you need to homeschool or something like it. They can also be very contagious, regardless if you touch or not.
I think when it comes to Nov 2012 I will be forced to pick another mediocre candidate. Why are the front runners so afraid of the illegals vote? Don’t they realize that promising all of this fluff will not get votes from them? I think Palin and Bachman have great ideas, but I don’t think either will become POTUS anytime soon. Palin is too controversial which will detract from her message, and lets face it, independents would be wary of voting for her due to the fact they would get laughed at by their peers, Maybe we will see a candidate rise up in the next 12 months that will truly stand and fight for the constitution. Hopefully one will. I remember some good speaches by J C Watts, maybe he will run.

If you’re not voting for Paul, Bachman or Johnson, you love the way things are going, because believe me, Romney, Perry and Cain are just like Bush, Obama, Clinton.

That abc news is fact checking Rick Perry is not surprising. I am no Rick Perry fan by any stretch but the media is clownish at best. Had abc news fact checked our current occupant in the White House, who knows, the Democratic Primary of ’08 could have turned out differently. Not saying that things wouldn’t be as bad under Hillary, they certainly couldn’t be any worse, only that the degree to which the media looked the other way during that campaign would impress an owl.

ABC, where did he say that he had met with her before the executive order? Why are you claiming he misstated something when he never stated it at all?

You guys are obama shills, through and through.

Saying Rick Perry is a Good man after seeing what he stands for ? Mit romney showed me in last nights debate that he will be able to put USA back on the right track with jobs , balancing the budget and finelystopping the ileagles from special treatment in this country. I am Looking foward to learning more about Mit and supporting him in this upcoming election for the good of the USA.

Mitt Romney and Rick Perry are both liberal moderates. Government Health Care is Government Health Care and Illegal Aliens are Illegal.

Let me think here, what part of the statement “opt in or opt out” don’t you understand would be a question I could ask Michelle Bachmann? Also, no one forces anyone to take the shot, no one. So what is she talking about? Having it as another innoculation with all of the rest which schools usually require (with an opt out provision in Texas for sure) is not force! Also, it does save lives! So what is with this stuff! Can’t she and some others move on from this trivia? It is rather disgraceful to see her doing and saying such false stuff and also keeping our focus off of the main problems!!! She just wants to beat Perry regardless of how she does it and I would not vote for a person like that regardless of who or what they are or stand for!! She is out of my focus!

ABC, where did he say that he had met with her before the executive order? Why are you claiming he misstated something when he never stated it at all?

You guys are obama shills, through and through.

He stated he was “lobbied”. Do you have a clue what that word means? You don’t “lobby” someone after they made a final decision………………..where do these people come from? Your blind support for morons is the reason we are where we are.

Perry is not my candidate of choice but it does seem like you are splitting hairs. He said he was lobbied by this woman. He didn’t give a timeline. Lobbying is also done to support past votes. It’s how lobbyists ensure that the laws stay enacted.

Seems like ABC is going into character as sas sination mode. Maybe if you focused on the actual legality of the policy and on why the majority of Texas politicians voted in favor of this?

Misspeak=misstated=LIED

You can’t enact a law that affects an entire population because of one person’s plight. Basically, this article proves that Perry is not fit for the office of the POTUS. Compassionate, yes. But presidential material, no.

The reason they say Ron Paul is not a good politician is that he does not compromise his principles, he does not Lie, He does not Flip Flop in the political winds. He is still saying the same things he said 10 years ago, but now people are seeing tjhat he is right.
Perry on the other hand is a great politician. Bends the truth. blows in the politcal wind. He is the Guy the Media would like to select as the Nominee because in the general election he would lose to Obama.
Ron Paul would pull independants and even Democrats who have lost faith in Obama (much like Reagan did with Carter)

Ron Paul 2011 – don’t let the media fool you.

“the fact is I erred on the side of life and I will always err on the side of life as a governor as a president of the United States.”

No, the fact is he will always err on the side of government intervention in the private lives of the citizenry, like any other liberal.

Anyone But Obama – I mean to wish Hillary was President shows how low my opinion of Obama is. That said – let’s talk about the real issue here – innoculating girls from a disease.
Why wouldn’t a parent do this? I have 4 kids (3 girls) and they WILL get this shot. For Bachman to argue against it because she feels it will lead to promiscuity tells me she needs to wake up to reality.

There is something nasty about the headline on Drudge Report 2011 “Perrry goes down on illegals” But double down, sounds double nastay…lol Perry and the other candidates which the establishment controlled party finances, with the exception of Ron Paul or Gary Johnson, can all suck off

Dr. Paul, who delivered 4,000 babies said that he only encountered cervical cancer once in all the years that he practiced medicine. Pap smears provide the best and quite adequate protection, not vaccinating 12-year old girls by executive order. We need a DOCTOR in the HOUSE! Only once in a lifetime do we have the privilege to vote for a Ron Paul, a man whose integrity, consistency and humility leave me speechless.

I see no lie here – he did not mention any time frame. To Perry, the dying woman validated his decision. Once again, the MSM is trying to stir the pot where no pot exists.

Fortunately for all the other candidates, they don’t have jurisdiction or responsibility for a horde of goddam Mexican illegals flooding their areas of responsibility, sucking up welfare, medical and police funds, aided and abetted by their legal cousins, who want nothing more than for white Texans to get out of “their” state.

Perry’s got to walk a razor-thin line.

My daughter has been ill since February 2008 immediately after her second Gardasil vaccine. She has undergone CT scans, MRI’s, MRA’s, EEG’s, blood work and was hospitalized at an epilepsy center in the video EEG monitoring unit for two separate weeks in 2008. A follow-up MRI was performed and a spinal tap was attempted, but unsuccessful. She later underwent a lumbar puncture with fluoroscopy. My daughter has been seen by several neurologists, a psychiatrist, psychologist, several neuropsychologists, an immunologist, several infectious disease doctors, and also treated a at Wellness Center for a period of time. She is now treating with an internist who is treating her with various homeopathic remedies, which include detoxification drops and many antioxidants. He has diagnosed my daughter with toxic encephalopathy secondary to the Gardasil vaccine. She currently experiences the following symptoms: non-epileptic seizures, migraines, fainting, various tremors, twitches and numbness, intermittent leg paralysis and facial paralysis, tingling, staring or blank episodes, eye pain, joint pain, neck pain, back pain, memory loss, confusion, brain fog, regression, mood swings, hair loss and chronic fatigue. She continues to have bouts of nausea and diarrhea. She has not been in school since April 2008. My daughter can never be left home alone. She can’t go to school, go out with her friends or work or has little “normalcy” in her life. She has very few good days and always says she doesn’t feel good. My daughter’s treating neurologist informed me that he does believe that my daughter’s symptoms were brought on by the vaccine, just not in a way that he could test or prove.
Jodi

“…I erred on the side of life and I will always err on the side of life as a governor as a president of the United States.”

Except for the death penalty, right?

How come no-one is doing a fact check on Bachman and reveal how much government moneys she received “raising” the 23 foster kids (out of which some were an over the weeked deal, how much government subsidies the family farm business (in which she is a partner) has received and how did her husband get a government grant to train his own employees.????????
She is no conservative except in rhetoric.

Pretty weak sauce, ABC, to justify such a confrontational and misleading headline. The only way Perry “misstated” anything is if “to lobby” ONLY means “attempting to influence someone BEFORE they make a decision or act”.

But one very clear meaning of the word is “to try to influence the actions of (public officials, especially legislators).”

And that definition says nothing about any timeline relating to any legislation (or in this case, executive orders).

Stating that Perry “misstated” his “relationship” completely fails to acknowledge this meaning of the term – and in fact this meaning is the MORE COMMON USAGE. Which in turn is exactly the usage you ought to expect from Perry, given his positioning and reputation.

Let’s presume, though, that the only valid definition of “to lobby” is the single narrow slice of its actual meaning that you chose to focus on. He still misstated nothing – his relationship with her was exactly as he described it: they met, they became friends, they shared time together and he was with her and supported her until her end. Is all of that untrue?

At the MOST, he chose a word which perhaps might be considered ill-advised inasmuch as it elicits specific thoughts and has specific meaning to those very narrowly focussed on particular elements of the political process.

ABC News – Arlette Saenz – you misstated Perry’s words and should be fired for contributing to the media bias against Republicans in general and Perry in specific, as well as the general FUD surrounding the political process and what candidates might actually mean.

Perhaps basic journalism training might be in order? You seem to need help in that whole area of “attempting in good faith to determine what someone meant, or failing that, simply reporting their words”. On the plus side, your fiction writing skills are advancing – you’re getting pretty good at making up a narrative and interpreting somebody’s comments solely within that imaginary framework, so I guess once ABC News cans you there might be a future for you in, oh, I don’t know, light juvenile fiction?

The concept that a school board or a state board of education may demand immunization for dangerous communicable disease as a condition of entrance is both rational and understandable.

This is not the issue: The issue here is who should have the ultimate say in family health issues. Governor Perry has weighed in on this and in so doing has identified himself as a big government activist; i.e. a leftist. No amount of explaining will undo this because it was no mistake – it is his belief system and he inadvertently did not understand how revealing his actions would be in this decision.

This is not a question of the efficacy or appropriateness of the vaccine; the leftists have already decided that Perry did the right thing and that should really frighten us.

The issue here is that Perry decided that his parenting authority should preempt yours.

What next?

If Perry decides that it would benefit your twelve year old daughter to be on birth control pills, what in his philosophy should stop him from seeing to it that it’s done. I.e. he is a fraud and thank God Michele Bachmann nailed him on this; for her reward, the leftist press immediately began to crucify her; more proof this guy is in the wrong party.

Those of us who don’t just follow the Fox News talking points understand that Perry was never going to get the nomination. Let me repeat this for you – Americans don’t want a radical Christian back in office after 8 years of undeclared wars, corporate welfare, bailouts and the Patriot Act. Your friend, Corey. Vote Ron Paul 2012.

The entire Republican Party is a joke. They pander to the lowest denominator of this country (i.e. ignorant, racists, mouth breathers etc…). Go on and continue to hang on to your racist propaganda spewing deranged political messiahs and your Faux News, their sheer combined stupidity when pooled with that of their supporters [for description of Republican supports see above by “lowest denominator”], will undoubtedly result in the re-election of Obama. So thank you.

Perry is dangerous and I knew this from the very beginning when I found out about this HPV thing. We have to make sure he does not get the nomination! Romney has a MUCH higher chance of beating Obama anyway!

The fact that Perry’s Executive Order had an actual life-saving, lifetime medical benefit AND AN OPT-OUT PROVISION makes this bogus as an issue against him. As a Teapublican I love Michele Bachman, but what about “opt-out” does Michele not understand?

So how many liberals here have paid out of their own pockets for daughter/s HPV vaccination?

Richard said “Does anyone vote for a liar? Who in their right mind would vote for a liar”

Well that would be you Richard. You voted for Obama. You and all of the irrational brain dead ilk in this country that will double down on the worst president in US history.

I’m not a big Rick Perry fan, but this “factcheck” makes a mountain out of a molehill. Which says more about ABC than about Rick Perry.

Ron Paul is th only candidate who’s believable and has remained consistent in his support of liberty and constitutional government.

And Hillary didn’t actually dodge bullets at that airport where she received flowers from a child instead.
The embroidered the truth to make a more compelling story as they were both probably coached to do…we know that.
We also know they all do it. Obama parents and the civil rights marches don’t link in a proper timeline, etc, etc.
We’ve finally accepted you can’t hold politicians to moral standards or they would all be disqualified. It stinks but, it’s fact so let fact check do their job and we will decide on the truly heinous ones and stack their decks accordingly.
Could yaw actually find out where they each stand on the issues of relevance to our dismal economy/jobs/entitlements/immigration/national security vs nation building….

This story only makes me feel better about Rick Perry. The fact that he spent time with her in her last days is nice. The fact that it happened after controversy is nicer. It shows his compassion and kindness. I’m from Texas, and I didn’t have any problem understanding “opt-out” vs. “opt-in”. I’m a conservative and I’ve “opt-ed” for my child to have the HPV vaccine. Because, I know that as a parent, it is my job to keep my child as safe as possible.

@CountryGal , I live in Texas & Peery is nothing but a huckster. He is a lot of talk & he gets bought our easily (Trans Texas Corridor , this HPV virus, & more). He would be another Bush. Full of enthusiasm but short on fixing things. So instead of fixing things they will promise deregulation & no taxes for large corporations. So it will be a repeat of 2000-2008 , deregulate : Insurance Companies (did you see your insurance start not covering at their whim? I did) , Banks ( did you get APR change after APR change for no reason during this time? I did. My $15,000 credit card debt which was already bad, went to @20,000 in 3 months , then $30,000 in the next 3 months due to APRs going from 8% to 29.9%)
Another deregulation disaster : Big Pharma (Did you notice prescription prices doubling , tripling all the while more & more commercials for ERECTILE DYSFUNTION? I noticed)
Did you notice how medical bills skyrocketed & were now being held by Wall Street (i noticed).
Did you notice that we have been in 2 wars for 10 years & no one really talks about how that gets paid or even thinks about that cost? & here we are in America laying off teachers & all kinds of Great people, why?? because large corporations have found a way to pay their fair share of taxes, claiming it would hurt their bottom line?
So Country Gal I know your religous , how can anyone that is for humanity be for war, treating large corporations with lots of $$ well while treating people like trash?
Do you really think Obama is wicked? He seems to have good character in my eyes & he is trying to do what is right. But you know who gets in his way of success?? Why it’s the GOP twisting & turning every little thing he says…why? because they want him as a 1 term president so they can get back in there & mess things up again….obama is trying to dig us out of the last president’s actions. I think Bush had good intentions but was listening to the WRONG people. He was listening to devils evidently. Just look around , & please consider some of the things I said above. I probably have typos & grammar mistakes. But make no mistake, I tell the truth & I can see the thin veil over the GOP. Under the thin veil are just money hungry salivating dogs. They are not spiritual. They are bought out. I want Peace , I want Freedom. I want to see America work again.
GOP wants profits. They don’t care if we send jobs overseas, they don’t care if we send our children overseas to die. They are nothing but PRIDE. Pride is a deadly sin. And what does it get you as a nation???? look around. Power to the People. & Praise God. GOP remind me of the term knashing of teeth in the bible. They are nasty & never satisfied & always for something other than HUMAN DECENCY.

Here’s the part I don’t get Governor – I should never have to opt out on someone else trying to be my daughter’s daddy. I have great respect for you, sir, but you were way wrong on this and on giving $100K to criminal illegal aliens for school while my wife, my 4 kids and I who are Texans rack up hundreds of thousands in school loans. Does the Hispanic vote really cost so much that you make criminals citizens and citizens paupers? Where is your own personal center? I appreciate your service to Texas but you were very, very wrong on these issues.

@ Hagion , I’m from Texas too. I like what you said , it’s true except I can’t think of anything that he has done that was good for the people. The only thing he supports is himself & large corporations who give him money. So I must ask why would you appreciate him for his service. Can you tell me any thing that he did that was good for you & your family. (I’m single so maybe I have a different view) but I would really like to know. You sound genuine.

The snide self-appointed elitists in the media think they’ve won the gotcha game with this column. No, I see a nice man who cares about other people, and who takes the time to get to know them and to support them. Never in his life would Barack Obama help someone who couldn’t benefit him immediately. Perry is well known by people who’ve known him all his life, to always do nice things for other people. He is a fine man, and our next President.

@Rick – I find it very weird for this guy to be for smaller government & then for forcing all teenage girls to get the vaccine. And on top of that he gets lots of $$. This governor won’t even live in the govenor’s mansion. He has the tax payer pay $8000 a month for his house in the hill country. Smaller government my @s$. He is the typical greasy politician. All talk & all sell out to anything with big $$$. I want someone who will protect the people.

Wow alot of people have the blinders on.
#1 NBC had a news cast on the connection of HPV causing not only cervical cancer in women but also other cancers in men and women such as throat cancer. If you have ever had a family member battle any kind of cancer you would know what it does to families, the person with the cancer and there finances. So Perry tried to save young peoples lives since these cancers hit people in there 30′s. would save alot of money and heart ache in the future.
#2 Instate tuition for the children of illegals that live in the state.I am from Texas and want to know how that affects any of you? Its state moneys alot from state oil revenue. Also these kids must meet residency requirements and pay there own tuition. It is the same tuition I have to pay for my kids. they have gone to grade school in our state and graduated highschool and must meet the academic requirements. Open your eyes and read the bill!
Now that being said I have not agreed with everthing Pery has done. But he has been good for our state.
I can’t say that about Obama. I realy can’t say Obama is a good man. He has created more harm and no good since he has been office

@Mathew – he’s had nothing to do but clean up after the last administration. Were you awake in 2008? Just in case you were sleeping thru it. The whole world’s economy was collapsing as Obama had taken oath of office. The 1st thing he tried to do was a stimulus like Bush had done 2, 3 or 4 times. But just as soon as that started Obama gets blamed for the economy? It was so bad that is going to take many years to come back from. So Obama tries & you & the republicans are so quick to NOT HELP & then blame him for economy crumbling. You & the republicans are disingenuous & liars or have a bad case of amnesia. And then you’ll say , oh liberals it’s time to stop blaming Bush. Well between Bush & the GOP that has done nothing to help & everything to drag Obama down I find people like you to be the cause of this crap. I can’t believe you would follow the BS that comes out of pie holes like Rush Limbaugh & FocksNews. These are things I KNOW TO BE TRUE. So as I you can see, I think you might be very biased. No way to be. You should seek truth not spin. I mean for God’s sakes our country is at stake & all you care about is GOP controlling again & they have no good ideas. Deregulating everything & tax breaks for the wealthy only benefit the wealthy.

Guys, this isn’t a vaccine issue. This is a crony capitalism issue. No matter how good a vaccine or government mandate may be. Whatever. Perry was not focused on the public health angle. Perry cared about a donor. Right through wrong is still wrong.

Can we please just let the Deep South secede! We’ll open our North’s borders to any black, Latino, or white person of conscience, just to not have to put up with the mysogenistic, racist, and sexist, bible-thumping swill propounded by your preachers of hate…aka, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, et al.
Feel free to found your own, oil-based oligarchy…led by none other than the Koch brothers.

You people act like you never heard of Dick Gephardt and the people he babbles about! Or our current VIce President, Good grief, and I thought Alla Gore was bad, when will they allow him to go back into public?

Ten Reasons NOT to Vote for Mitt Romney

He has built a history of public statements which contradict themselves and has acquired the reputation of an excessively adaptable politician who often bends the way the wind blows.

He told Tim Russert he saw his father march with Dr. King and it was revealed that his father never did.

He gave a long speech at the 2002 Olympics Opening Ceremonies, leaving the impression that he was seeking public office even back then.

He slid into Massachusetts, quietly wresting the governorship from Acting Governor Jane Swift, in spite of repeated challenges to his residency eligibility.

He repeatedly attempts initiatives to ban same sex marriage and to strengthen capital punishment.

Neither he nor any of his five able bodied sons have ever served in the United States Armed Forces.

He stated that he had the endorsement of the NRA, when later it was revealed that they did not give endorsements.

He has no plans to get out of Iraq, and feels that if we did, Al Qaeda would take over.

He boasts that he did not raise taxes in Massachusetts but he increased fees by a quarter of a billion dollars.

He referred to himself as a life long hunter and it was subsequently revealed that his hunting experience has been minimal.

Do a search on Obama’s top donors, then do a search on these companies that got bailed out with our tax money. The number of names that appear on both lists is frightening. VOTE for ROMNEY IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA. STATUS QUO

Rick Perry is not just a liar, he’s a psychopath and a pathological liar. He has no inhibitions when it comes to twisting a story like this to meet his goals. Rick Perry has done a lot of things one would consider low. But this one takes the cake. He sought out and “befriended” a dying woman for political purposes, to prop up his “I hate cancer” excuse for the mandatory Gardasil debacle after having accept bribes from Merck. HE USED A DYING WOMAN FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES and to justify his actions, after the fact. How low can one sink? If there is an afterlife and a just God, Rick Perry will spend eternity in Hell.

“Perry has endured a lot of criticism from fellow Republicans on the issue, particularly Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who have argued the government should not force parents to inoculate their children against what is essentially a sexually transmitted disease, even if it cuts down on instances of cervical cancer.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The government should not force parents to inoculate their children against cervical cancer? Why not? We are forced to inoculate them against polio, rubella, mumps, chicken pox, etc. otherwise they are refused admittance to school. I want to know what the hell the difference is?

Rick Perry has no character or class. Even the prime minister of Israel had the sense to see this. Perry’s feeble attempt to win a few Jewish votes in Brooklyn while the president of the United States was in tenuous, delicate negotiations about Palestinian statehood was evidence of this. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli leader gave president Obama a ringing endorsement and said he should be honored for the stance he took. The two are not friends but at least Netanyahu saw what a phony Perry was.

Someone should ask Perry how much money he got for Texas from the Arabs to keep the price of oil high.

Voterite wrote: “Americans should not be required to opt out of an STD vaccine for their children. They should be given the choice to opt in. After all, this is not Polio.” ~~~~~~~~During the WORST year for polio in the US (1952), 3,145 died of the virus. During a TYPICAL year for cervical cancer, over 4,000 die.

Sleuth51 wrote: “Pap smears provide the best and quite adequate protection” ~~~~~Pap smears provide absolutely NO protection against HPV or cervical cancer. They are a diagnostic test to tell whether cancer cells are present or absent. They only allow for an earlier detection of existing cancer than if a person didn’t get a Pap smear, but they in no way protect a person from getting HPV during intercourse or from developing an HPV-related cancer.

I’ll bet what little money I have left, that he doesn’t visit a young girl dying from the vaccine that he forced on her!!!! Disgusting!!!

let’s talk HPV reality. HPV is a group of viruses of which some cause cancer. The vaccine is recommended for children in order to develop immunity prior to becoming sexually active. The vaccine can prevent 75% of the cases of cervical cancers. What researchers are also finding is that HPV is also responsible a number of other types of cancer including up to 50% of head, neck and throat cancers. So, this vaccine may turn out to be one of the best prevention tools for CANCER. Just like many other vaccines it makes good sense as a public health tool. Everyone should be getting it.

Don’t search for “Rick Perry and Kathoey”

Has Bachman’s “mother of a retarded child” due to HPV vaccination surfaced yet? None of the republican candidates (except maybe Paul) are men/women of enough moral courage to exhibit independent thought. Unfortunately, Ron Paul’s independent thought borders on insanity (legalize all drugs?). It is now the practice in politics to overtly lie to self serve – maybe this has always been the standard in this country and the practice is now coming to a head. We the people are in trouble as is our country.

“Do you want a man in the White House who will mandate that your children MUST receive an unproven vaccine and take away that right of parents? Stalin used to take little Russian children away from their parents to “educate” them. Is that what you want from “Uncle Josef” Perry?”~~~~~~~~~Analogy FAIL. Did Stalin give parents a chance to opt out of having their kids taken away just by signing a form saying they’d rather not have them taken? I’m betting not.

TO: LCPL RAY – You say, you need LESS government, wonder if you are one of those that got help from FEMA during these last two hurricanes and the tremendous fire in Texas? To the tea partiers that want less governmen – hope you refused or didn’t apply for FEMA because that would be against your philosophy. You got flooded or your house burnt up – deal with it yourselves.

“Now, how many girls have died from the Gardisil” ~~~There have been no known deaths due to the HPV vaccine to date, although there have been some severe allergic reactions and some deaths proximal to vaccination that were investigated for a possible link. No such link has been found, and no unusual clustering of deaths has been detected. Other causes of death have been determined at autopsy in most of the cases investigated.

This was about money and anyone who believes differently is a naive fool. No one has the right to mandate a vaccine to our young daughters for something like HPV. This is not polio, nor German measles. This is something that is not even possible for young girls unless they are sexually active and can easily be prevented with a condom. Who is he to mandate that our young daughters (and not every girl is a hooch having sex at 13) has to be forced to have a vaccine that has clearly demonstrated negative consequence and side effects for way too many girls to make the odds safe? Some girls have even died. Which parent wants to say, “Oh my daughter was that rare case, oops.” Vaccines are big business, and therefore BIG $$$$. The FDA is frequently connected to less than conscience or character driven decisions when it comes to approving drugs. Many of the people voting these decisions are somehow connected to the pharmaceutical companies. Do the research. I wonder how much money he got as a kickback for pushing that vaccine on to thousands of young girls. There also seems to be some trolls in here that are probably some overpaid PR guys for Perry. They are copied and pasted on numerous boards.

OK then – give vaccinations against highly contagious desease and then give an opt out. Thats like expecting to have sterile conditions while living in a tee pee. Public health issues are real. People really die. It is a fact that the vaccination program in our country worked, even though some chose to ignore itl It is also a fact that many who ignored it got sick and died. I am 53 and glad I am disease free. I thank God for a country with some very good policy.
With freedom comes responsibility. Too many Americans don’t recognize and thank those who have given up their “rights” to make America great.
Start your day thanking them – then see if the hatred and rebellion in your heart wanes just a little bit!

You all can bicker about the politics all you want.Very few people ever see these comments.The HPV treatments they give these women are barbarack to say the least.Out west the nurses will strick if someone dies in a hospital for wreckless reasons.Anywhere else the nurse’s don’t do a thing.You know the person that made the 1st hydrogen run vehicle didn’t have a college education and he was not from the US.There is a cure for cancer to,but since it is a plant and one that is being smoked to get you high,it will not be used by the hospitals.It’s been used for five thousand years for a cure.It was stopped being used in the late thirty’s.The cure lost and booze won.Cannabis oil ingested three times a day cures cancer.It’s a shame there are so many people who are blinded by stupity.Your loved ones are dieing of cancers and all poeple care about is a president that can not make a deciesion without the senate and the house ok’ing everything he come up with.If you want to argue,then look at the people who pass the things that our beloved presidents come up with.The people behind Obama are the sleeper cells.

This guy starts off lying like George Bush lied about WMD.

My sister died at age 40 from cervical cancer. You can bet her young child would have been much better off being raised by his own mother if this vaccine had been around when she was a child. Not only are children being left orphans by this disease, but think how many children are never born because these women die before their child bearing years are still ahead of them… so you parents who deny your daughters this vaccine… are you going to someday look back and see that you likely denied yourself grandchildren… or will you JUST be denying yourself a child who grew to be an adult who could take care of you in your old age? Don’t be short-sighted.

Re: “Mitt Romney and Rick Perry are both liberal moderates.” Good heavens! If you think Perry is a “liberal moderate” what kind of monster would you accept as really “conservative”? His only interest in illegal aliens is buying Hispanic votes with favors. He’ll send ‘em home after he uses them, have no fear.

“I don’t know what part of opt out most parents don’t get” – maybe it’s the part you’re not mentioning, that parents were threatened that opting out would result in their daughter(s) not allowed to enroll & attend public schools

As a Texas citizen, I have been shocked by the “Misstatements” of Perry. Even by the low standards of the political establishment, Perry is brazenly dishonest, insincere and corrupt.

Check out the ad campaigns where he told Texans that we had a surplus and the best economy in the nation. The truth was that we had a multi-billion dollar deficit. Within a few weeks of winning the election, Perry began slashing government jobs.

I understand that action needed to be taken and I do appreciate the fact that our state leaders are trying not to let Texas become the fiscal disaster that some states have become. I would have been more appreciative if Perry had not blatantly lied to win re-election.

I would also appreciate it if Perry practiced what he preached. Just like the Obama family, Rick Perry lives it up at the expense of the taxpayers as the rest of us tighten our belts.

Will anybody look at Perry and his record, or have the conservatives picked their winner and handed this election to Obama? The conservative element of the GOP might like what Perry says, but his lack of character will be a turnoff for the independents and moderates that he needs to convince if he is to win the Presidency.

Hey, I live in Texas and like Herman Cain!

Look at the poor black people in Galveston tx . Pray for us poor people in Galveston Tx Holy Mother Of God AMEN .

Another rude, careless and arrogant repupu Texas governor, this one will dry American, the first washed our country, and left in the mess we are in. He really scare me.

How did she catch it? He should have made the boys get the vaccine too, or not anyone. That is how disease is prevented.

Liberal Fascism 101: Hate, attack, blame, lie, deny.

We refuse to mention Solyndra and the $538 BILLION dollars Obama gave to his cronies.

We refuse to mention “Operation Fast and Furious” and the illegal guns Obama gave to Mexican Drug cartels to create a crisis, destabilize the borders, and increase the number of illegals.

But we will make something out of nothing whenever someone opposes our Dear Leader.
