Boys should also be vaccinated.

  What is this Fox News.  I see you left out a part of my post.  Why did you leave it out.  You had to take the time to modify my post.  So what does that make you.

  Old Michele is at it again.  She says that if you earn a dollar it's yours to keep.  Huh?

[Palehorse]

She needs to go suck down another foot long in one gulp!

What did I leave out? It is all there. HPV is not limited to women, if males are vaccinated they cannot pass it on to females. The same vaccine is used for both sexes.

More proof ...

When asked where she got the idea that the HPV vaccine causes mental retardation ....

Leno also pressed Bachmann about the story she has told about meeting an unidentified woman following the debate who said her daughter suffered "mental retardation" as a result of the HPV vaccine.

"Do you regret not getting this woman's name and address?" Leno asked Bachmann.

"I don't know who this person was," Bachmann replied, refusing to budge from the talking points she has repeated this week. "I wasn't speaking as a doctor, I wasn't speaking as a scientist, I was just relating what this woman said."

Nothing like passing on all kinds of crap without verification of fact.

Sound familiar?

Yep. Why, just the other day I was talking to this dude who had been abducted by aliens and he said that he saw Elvis on their space ship.

  I think ole Michele Tinker Bell has lost her bell and soon will leave the building stage right.

Well now, that has a ring of truth to it, because the last sighting of Elvis was in Kalamazoo, MI. I've been to Kalamazoo and trust me had I been given the opportunity to leave with space aliens versus spending 5 more minutes there and I would have chosen the spaceship and risked the probes.

And Elvis toooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, it doesn't look like she impressed this young voting age audience:

Throughout her comments, Bachmann tailored her delivery seemingly to suit her young audience.
"How many of you, this will be your very first presidential election to vote in? Let me see your hands," the candidate asked, receiving several raised arms from the students.
"What do you think so far?" Bachmann asked.
Among the replies: "chaotic," "roller coaster" and "circus."
Bachmann proceeded to tackle big issues, frequently explaining them first — not assuming the students were already familiar or understood critical details.
"Have you heard about the super committee?" Bachmann asked. After explaining Congress' role in passing spending bills and recent problems over the negotiations, Bachmann warned that raising taxes could cause another recession.
"In other words, very difficult for job prospects for all of you when you leave Drake," she said.
"We could either have tax increases, which I and a number of my colleagues have pledged we won't raise taxes. The other alternative will be dramatic cuts," Bachmann added.
The candidate specifically criticized the potential for massive cuts to the defense budget.
"We just heard that some of the cuts would mean the military, which just took $400 billion in cuts, would take another $600 billion in cuts," Bachmann said.
"The current Defense Secretary [Leon] Panetta said that would be like taking a bullet to the head."
Bachmann also discussed the national debt.
"Why would you care? Because you're the people that are expected to pay off that debt," she said.
On taxes, Bachmann criticized the number of Americans who don't pay taxes — and referenced the Occupy Wall Street movement.
"Today, 47% of Americans pay zero federal income taxes," Bachmann said. "And the top 1% of income earners in the United States, that you hear so much about with Occupy Wall Street, the top 1% of income earners pay 40% of all the federal income taxes."
"So I want to change the tax code, so that it is fair and so that everybody pays something."
And the congresswoman lectured the students about the work world that lies ahead.
Mentioning her own personal financial struggles, Bachmann said: "It's an animating principle of the United States — it's the fact that nobody owes you a living. Now maybe your parents said that to you."
When Bachmann opened the session to questions, some students asked relatively tame questions on what the U.S. position on Syria should be and where Bachmann stood on campaign finance reform. Some others pounced.
"You used the line of 'bullet to the head' for the American military," one student said.
"Part of the super committee, is that there would be mandatory cuts on either side — on entitlement programs and the military spending aspect of it. I would classify it as a bullet to the American family's head if our entitlement programs in this country were cut drastically," the student added. "For the people who depend on that — that are in an unemployed situation where they need federal aid, they're the most vulnerable."
Bachmann responded by reiterating that the nation is spending too much.
Another student asked: "You said that you wanted to increase offshore drilling and just drilling in general for oil. So that you could decrease the price of oil in the near future. Don't you think that would kind of just be beating a dead horse instead of trying to find a reasonable solution for the long term?"
Bachmann reiterated her stance that the U.S. has tremendous energy resources, "But the problem is, even our own Department of Energy, won't let us access them."
Another student questioned Bachmann on national service programs, such as AmeriCorps: "You've gone on record as opposing those. So just wondering, if elected president, you might make that a part of your agenda? And if you think it's a good idea, during this economy, to take away opportunities for young people to serve their country?"
"Well it isn't the idea of young people not serving their country," Bachmann said. "The point is, we're broke. I don't know if you all have gotten that message yet from me this morning," Bachmann said.
Arguably the most tense exchange came as Bachmann restated her opposition to "Obamacare."
As she criticized specifics of the nation's health care law, one student shouted: "So screw the sick and homeless?"
"Who said that?" Bachmann asked.
"You have," the student said.
"You could not be further from the truth," Bachmann shot back. "You're looking at someone who lived below poverty. Have you ever lived at that?"
Bachmann continued: "I know what I had to do. I got a job. That's what you need to do. You need to figure out how to get a job and make your way."

  Yep, she nuts. Said last week she was talking to a doctor that was over 7 feet tall and he said that he had a female patient and he had to call Social Security to get a number to treat her as a Medicare patient.    Just plain crazy and but she's all Republican.     Doctors don't call anyone for a number. 

  Can't they come up with something better.
