So there have been a plethora of articles about the GOP debate last night. I think I only saw one question. And it was answered by Huntsman, so in the grand scheme of the race, whatever he said didn't matter. But he pretty much said what every Tea Partier wants to hear- you pay too much in taxes from your paycheck. Well duh!
City Pages, always loving to take a crack at Bachmann any chance they can (and boy does she hand deliver the material!), focuses on her and cervical cancer. Rick Perry actually did something that made sense (well, to be fair, how he allows illegal immigrants to get financial aid is alright too). He did a govt mandate to have 11 and 12 year olds to get the HPV vaccinne to help prevent cervical cancer. Due to outcry (wait- loud people, no matter how stupid they sound/are, can win? Well, I never...) it was eventually retracted/overturned/whatever the hell the word is for a mandate not being mandated.
I know Michelle, as a mother of 3 girls, you hate when the govt invades your body. Giving them vaccines (which by the way is quite safe and the CDC has approved of it) like how we used to experiment on African Americans with syphillis in the South. But wait...you want the govt out of the "do this with/to your body" business? Well, what about abortion? Isn't the govt banning abortion telling people what to do with their bodies (yes, I am aware that this is a flimsy argument, but if you'd care to have the abortion debate- bring it)?
All in all, I think that was Michelle taking her last breaths. She's not going to get the nomination, so she's resorted to trying to grab the attention from the front runners. Oh wait, that's what she's been doing all along.
Remember, they're only against big government when it's big government that helps people.
