well CNN and the Tea Party teamed up to present a debate among the Religious candidates last night and I was very impressed..it was good! Wolf Blitzer kept the questions coming rapid fire from audience members and encouraged a real debate among the Republican candidates...they went after each other for once instead of following the Newt Doctrine that conservatives shouldn't speak the truth or be critical of other conservatives...well, tonight the gloves came off, and we saw some real differences among the group...now, I don't think the Tea Party is much more than a bunch of fat white bible thumpers who hate Mexicans, but there may be some evolution that can bring it legitimacy...as one teabagger asked: "what are you going to do about the illegals in the country?"....none of the candidates said, "round them up and deport them"....instead they offered some common sense solutions...
consider that the borders have been open since we asked Mexicans to come over and help during WW2...we asked them to come here and work...and businesses have been hiring them ever since..the agriculture, restaurant, shipping, hospitality businesses....and all those folks in Montecito with gardens..they all use illegal workers..you don't round them up and ship them out...if the Tea Party can't understand this, then they will always be just a bunch of fat, old white people waving their flags and bibles...
ok..so CNN teamed up with the teabaggers to... don't know why! but it was a good show...my girl Michele Bachman did good, especially when she went after the clueless Rick Perry who kept rolling his eyes in sexist mockery of Michele..how dare he!!
but Michele kept it up, calling out Perry's executive order to require the HPV vaccination be given to 12 year old girls: Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), the mother of three daughters -- though she seemed to momentarily forget how many children she had -- went after Rick Perry during Monday night's GOP debate for his 2007 executive order mandating that young girls in Texas be vaccinated against HPV, the most common sexually transmitted disease and one that can lead to cervical cancer.
"To have innocent little 12-year-old girls be forced to have a government injection through an executive order is just flat out wrong. That should never be done. That's a violation of a liberty interest," she said.
She then argued that Perry had a conflict-of-interest because one of his top staffers was a lobbyist for Merck, the drug company that manufactured the vaccine.
"I just wanted to add that we cannot forget that in the midst of this executive order, there was a big drug company that made millions of dollars because of this mandate. We can't deny that," Bachmann said, referring to Merck.
"What I'm saying is that it's wrong for a drug company -- because the governor's former chief of staff was the chief lobbyist for this drug company. The drug company gave thousands of dollars in political donations to the governor, and this is just flat-out wrong. The question is, is it about life, or was it about millions of dollars and potentially billions for a drug company?"
Perry was stumbling and mumbling like a dumbass and almost reduced to tears after Michele scolded him for crony capitalism at the expense of little girls...
on this issue, Michele Bachman is right...Perry's paternalistic government mandate should take him right out of the presidential race..guys like him are the problem, not the solution!!
the problem is I can't figure Michele out..one minute she's loony tunes, next minute she's Mother Teresa, next minute she's a dream girl by the sea...
