This oped in the Washington Post about the impact of ObamaCare on cancer patients. For those of you who don't think this applies to you, because you are covered by your employer......wait until the law applies to you next year. The Obama administration delayed applicability of the law to employer based insurance until next year because they knew that would delay the biggest impact. It will happen.

I think this country is going to see a big shift in who is uninsured. Employers are NOT going to foot the bill for all of these things, so employees will be stuck holding the bag. As Delta Airlines and UPS has already done, full-time employees who have had good jobs and good insurance for themselves and their dependents and have not been any kind of burden on society when it comes to their medical bills will suddenly find themselves with a part-time job that does not make them eligible for employer-based ins. plans. Either that or the only person eligible for coverage will be the employee and not any of his/her dependents. I see this as an avalanche of problems yet to come. Well done, Mr. O.

I am pulling my hair out at this point. The prices have jumped so high, I just can't afford it. For the first time, I feel like I might die because I can't afford these new prices with the high deductibles. Also, they have really narrowed the network of providers. I am thinking I may have to sell my home.
What a situation. I am so, so sorry that I voted for him. I actually believed him when he said it would lower the cost !!!! Not true at all for anyone who doesn't qualify for government subsidy.
I don't know what the heck I am going to do. I did not need this stress.
Nov 05, 2013 - 9:34 pm
I am so sorry you now find yourself in this position. I know it is so very stressful and it really doesn't help to know that many others are going to find themselves in the same boat. It only makes me sick to my stomach. This is such a disaster, but what I can't believe is how it's still being touted as a good thing. Political spinning is way out of control on this one. They need to just pull the plug on it.
Nov 06, 2013 - 12:05 pm
i am so sorry for your stress..... is there any way that you can send what has happened to you to Obama???? i know that sounds crazy but someone needs to get your email....or a lot of folks in washington need to get your emails......i am still not sure about my insurance because they still have time to drop me, i guess.... i already pay a huge amt. per month with $5600 deductible....i guess they feel since i pay this much now that i must have money to throw out .... at this time , it is my most expensive bill to pay.... hope you can handle this...... sephie
Nov 06, 2013 - 6:49 pm
Well, I am just one of many MILLIONS of people being effected by this debacle. I am a private and proud person. I have never taken one penny of government aid and I don't want to start now. Trust me, they just do not care about what they are doing to people . I have just learned that insurance companies are dropping coverage for some of the best cancer hospitals.
Nov 06, 2013 - 10:08 pm
Another thought. Anyone who thinks they will keep their coverage as it is, is fooling themselves. Next year there will be more cancellation notices for those insured through their employers.
Nov 07, 2013 - 7:13 am
Exactly! There has been much discussion about ACA on Facebook, with many people almost bragging that their current coverage is not changing. I hate to have to remind them that most, if not all, ins companies make changes prior to new enrollment periods, which usually take effect at the beginning of a calendar year. While coverage may not change for 2014, ins companies will be busy during that year coming up with ways to keep more money and pay fewer benefits. That will all add up to less coverage, higher premiums, higher deductibles and out-of-pocket amounts, and fewer in-network providers. Employers will also be taking a hard look at the health benefits they pay all or a portion of for their employees and dependents and many people will suddenly be ineligible for health benefits. I hate to be gloom and doom about this, but I don't see how it will unfold any other way.
Nov 07, 2013 - 8:50 am
Actually, it is even more cynical than that. Seeing what was coming, Obama administration delayed the Employer mandate until 2015, after the 2014 elections! The same thing is going to happen to those covered by employer plans...in 2015! Most people are covered by employer plans, so they are dismissing those of us in the direct market as, "only 5% of the population". This is millions of people being dismissed. Unless something is done, the same thing will happen to the rest of Americans after the election. Funny, how people only seem to care about what effects them personally.
Nov 07, 2013 - 10:00 am
I have argued this point with people from day one! Nothing is free and NOTHING is safe! Employee offered insurance has and will change. people with government insurance (retired And survivors) need to watch out as well. I have always had health insurance for me and mine, and my kids now have health insurance for their families. But tomorrow? One can only hope! I was told that everyone felt the same way about social security when it came into being..... I can only pray That eventually this will "shake out". I just hope it doesn't kill us in the mean time!
Nov 07, 2013 - 12:31 pm
Well said Lorikat! Change is scary for all of us. The change I am afraid will be more than a financial burden. But it has to be done. I remember losing my job and health insurance. In my early twenties. I was 3500 miles away from home collecting unemployment, paying for my apartment, car payment, car insurance and some credit card bills. Barely making it in the real world. I did a breast exam occasionally, I found a lump, a hard one. I called every government agency, no assistance was available to me. I waited several week before I discovered the LA FREE CLINIC who did the biopsy for me, which was benign. If I had needed further treatment, my only recourse would have been my parents. If I didn't have parents, I don't know what would have happened to me.
I am afraid that for the average person like myself will suffer long waiting periods for appointments, more rushed appointments, and less granting of requestsfor scans MRI's and blood tests. I am still trying to find out what kind of ataxia I have and what is my main condition as ataxia is just a symtom.
My insurance has gone up 80 dollars for this year with the policy remaining the same. Grandfathering they call it. I trust this company and believe it will be the same in the future. I hope they open more facilities.
I am happy for all the people who will now have insurance and yet I am sad for all the people like Mary who are at this time being hurt by this.
Nov 07, 2013 - 6:20 pm
I believe in health care reform. This is not a good answer to the problem. I am also a person who embraces change, if it is for the better. This is not for the better. The Massachusetts plan works very well. That was a bipartisan effort between Republicans and Democrats. There are NOT long waits, the cost has not sky rocketed, and almost 100% of Massachusetts residents now have insurance and they like it! The difference? There are MANY companies competing on the health care connector. It worked well in Massachusetts.
The problem in many states is that there is not enough competiton, so the prices have gone up. Also, the new requirements of Obamacare on all policies has raised the cost to everyone. If the cost only went up 800 dollars, that would be fine. It has gone up Thousands of dollars for many.
That being said, there is one thing that is great for cancer survivors. That is we can no longer be denied for pre existing conditions.
Here is a link put out by Livestrong Foundation on what the ACA means for cancer survivors. I have not read it all yet.
Nov 07, 2013 - 6:26 pm
Social Security and Medicaid are not comparable to this mess. A single payor system would be comparable. This new plan is government mandating that we participate in the private insurance sector, where the private insurance companies set the price and make the huge profits! Very, very different. This is not a government program. The government has no control over the price!
Nov 07, 2013 - 6:51 pm
Marynb, I DO realize this is very (VERY) different. The point I was trying to make is that EVERYONE will be affected. I have heard people assure each other that THEY will not be affected. They will. Wish we could really discuss this, as I need to know more, but this is probably not the place. I guess I wI'll have to go back to the sixties and join with sit ins and rallies....
Nov 07, 2013 - 9:12 pm
Lol. I do remember those sit ins! I think one of the problems with this big change in the health care system is that there has been a lack of information, a lot of misinformation, and deliberate misleading information....aka, lies.
We should know what we are getting, but we don't. The website lacks information about network providers, coverage, etc. As we all know, price is not the most important information. Lots of plans are narrowing networks so that major cancer hospitals are eliminated. Not good.
I think this is the forum. Cancer patients and survivors are dependent on health insurance that allows us to go to the specialists who can help save us. Healthy people may not be aware of all the pitfalls of limited insurance coverage.
Nov 13, 2013 - 4:31 pm
I am in a similar position. So, today just to vent I went on the White House website. There's a place on there where you can write to President Obama. I did.
Hope he listens.
Nov 16, 2013 - 3:36 pm
As I understand it, all new exchanges mandated by ObamaCare are administered and sold through private insurance companies now operating under new government mandates- laws- regulations- which means more costs for us as we are seeing everywhere.
Nov 16, 2013 - 6:10 pm
Hi. I am not sure what your point is. I do agree that it is important to live a healthy lifestyle. I was a very healthy 58 year old when I was diagnosed with The first cancer. I am not dependent on any prescription drugs now or ever. I rarely even take a tylenol, yet, I have had cancer twice now. I always ate healthy and have exercised all my life. Up until now, the insurance companies have profited from me because I never got sick before now. So, what exactly is your point? I do think that the public needs to put more pressure on the uSDA to label foods, such as GMO's. I don't want to eat genetically altered foods.
Nov 17, 2013 - 10:06 am
Good post and I agree with everything you say. However, at this point in time, what do you expect a cancer patient to do when there is a diagnosis? I too have lost family and friends to this disease. I do what I can to eliminate the known toxins in my enviornment. However, when I accepted the treatment that was offered at the best cancer hospital I could get to. Sadly, there is not the amount of money spent on research on the effects of diet on the body. I shudder everytime that I go to the grocery store and see all of the fake food on the shelves and in the baskets of uneducated people. At this time, all we can do is try our best to eat whole organic non GMO foods, eliminate chemicals as best we can, lobby for clean air and clean water, exercise, sleep well. We live in a polluted, chemical world.
Nov 17, 2013 - 11:22 pm
There are many here who will attest to the fact that the treatments work to cure anal cancer. Easy for you to say you would not accept treatment! Until you walk in the shoes of a person with cancer, you should not advise anyone to reject treatment.
You are right about prevention and avoiding toxins. The sad truth is that organic clean foods are not available in many parts of this country. The large food chains carry very little organic produce because people just can't afford it. I do believe we have to do more to educate people about toxins. Telling cancer patients to reject treatment is WRONG!
Nov 17, 2013 - 11:06 pm
........the most effective method of controlling people is to instill fear in them????????? Not always!!
Are you trying to instill fear? Are you afraid yourself maybe?
Anyway, this is a place welcome for cancer survivors and others to inspire, encourage, and support each other and to ease the fear we face with cancer, treatment, and recovery. Everyone reacts different, and I'm sorry that right now you only see the negative side, but we here are LIVING proof of the positives that have come out of the hard work and research of many people. I am thankful for that.
Be well..........
Nov 17, 2013 - 1:37 pm
Why are you posting on a cancer site since you don't have cancer. I was cured of anal cancer with the standard tx. I don't appreciate you coming on this site and telling survivors how you wouldn't do what most of us have done. Go preach at your drs office and let them know how you feel.
Nov 17, 2013 - 10:16 pm
I question too why you are on this site telling all of us who have had the conventional treatment that we should have gone another route--that our treatment did us more harm than good. Well, let me tell you, I am a 5-year survivor and I am so very thankful that such treatment exists for people with anal cancer. For someone who has never had cancer to come on this site to dispute that just plain pisses me off. You may have seen cancer secondhand when someone you knew or loved went through treatment, but to say that you would never submit to said treatment when you haven't had to make that choice is ridiculous. Yes, this treatment is brutal and perhaps even barbaric, but it's all we've got currently that has results that will mean many more years of life for most of us. I do not welcome your comments.
Nov 18, 2013 - 7:32 pm
Jbahama was a mentally-unstable man, attacking both CSN Anal and Ovarian cancer boards. Thanks to Greta it was taken care of and he is not coming back. Here is his apology post http://csn.cancer.org/node/264530.
Nov 18, 2013 - 8:55 pm
Thank you, for letting us know. Lori
Nov 18, 2013 - 9:22 pm
Thank you for your post on this board letting us know.
Nov 19, 2013 - 12:00 pm
Maybe I missed something? Although I disagreed with him about whether or not to seek treatment, he had some very good points. As cancer survivors, it is really important for us to be aware of how to prevent this disease in the first place. Just my opinion.
Nov 19, 2013 - 1:40 pm
I felt that the poster was someone who was recently bereaved and going through the grief process. Anger is a part of grief & in fairness, when treatment fails, it is so distressing. I am sorry for their distress.
Whilst I hope the traditional treatment for anal cancer has worked for me, I am not happy that it is so barbaric.
I have wondered what made me more vulnerable to its development, but whatever it was, I can't change that. I believe stress in the preceding years as contribuatry, & maybe pollutants are also a factor. I really don't know.
The poster raised some valid points & maybe someday their point will be proved.
Nov 19, 2013 - 3:59 pm
I believe everyone has right to their own opinion, but I felt that that poster was trying to tell us we were all idiots for going through the traditional treatment. I don't think fear-mongering should be a part of cancer support. That said, the anger I understand.
Nov 19, 2013 - 9:31 pm
H Martha,
There are many people who say they would not accept chemo and radiation. It is a different opinion and I personally don't give it much weight unless the person expressing the opinion has had a cancer diagnosis. There have been others on this board who have expressed dissatisfaction with the traditional treatment.
I may have missed the post where he called us idiots. The opinions about the environment, diet, and toxins were well stated and true. Oh, well.
Nov 19, 2013 - 10:28 pm
I think maybe this is just another example of how technology can fail us, as it does not have the ability to truely express emotion and is so easy to misinterpret. Obviously it would have been great to have had this conversation and many others in person or at least over the phone but then we loose some other things, like easy access to the wide range of opinions from all over the world in one place at one time.
The poster may have been well intended with an opinion meant to help, but for own personal reasons it wasn't taken that way by all. There may have been some hurt or anger on both sides but when dealing with cancer from several perspectives it just plain sucks!!
I think we all intend to support each other without judgement as we move forward in health and but sometimes its difficult to put in words.
I hope this finds you well.........
Nov 20, 2013 - 8:55 am
He made some very nasty comments to the ladies on the Ovarian cancer forum. Those comments have since been deleted.
Nov 20, 2013 - 9:11 am
That poster did not use the word "idiot" to describe anyone on this board and I should have not used that word, but I felt like that was what he/she was inferring. I just think it's very cruel for someone to come on here and tell a group of cancer survivors that they wouldn't go through the cancer treatment that we did when they have not experienced a cancer diagnosis for themselves. It's true that chemo/rad was not my only option. I could have just opted for surgery to remove the cancer and lived with a colostomy. I also could have told my doctors to go jump in the lake and buy myself 500 pounds of apricot pits (as one person on another website told me would "cure" my cancer), or I could have chosen to do nothing. I think if that poster would have been faced with those choices, they probably would have been doing the chemo/rad too. As for the other stuff that they posted, I was so angry after reading part of the post that I just couldn't absorb the rest. It's true that our environment is killing us, I totally agree with that.
Nov 20, 2013 - 9:09 pm
I did not know about the nasty comments on the other Board. That is a different story!
Nov 21, 2013 - 8:10 pm
From what was posted above on this thread, apparently there were comments made on the Ovarian and Anal cancer boards by this person that have since been deleted by the administrator.
Nov 16, 2013 - 3:32 pm
I hang out over in the Prostate Cancer secton and came in here to see how folk in this catagory of cancer are doing. This topic has not yet come to us discussing PCa but I would guess it will ow that Obamacare is hitting with full force. I think every one of us with cancer of one type or another are somewhat anxious about health care changes and so far what I am seeing is frightful. Sarah Palin warned us about death panels in the bill- and even Obama told us in one of his debates that sometimes just take a pill and die, or close to that.
I am not interested in death panels or just dying.
I had stage iv prostate cancer. surgery, radiation, hormone shots, more surgery, wow! cancer can be expensive. And my old insurance served me very well. I hope it survives. I am moving on into medicare now. With fear and trembling.....
Nov 22, 2013 - 9:22 pm
It has been disclosed that many major hospitals, including cancer hospitals, are being dropped by Insurance companies Networks due to Obamacare. This especially effects cancer patients. Places like Mayo Clinic and Cedars Sinai, etc. are no longer in Network for many major insurance companies.
Cancer patients need to see what is happening, before it effects them. This is NOT unique to me.

The perennially dominant TCU Horned Frogs limp into Lubbock this weekend looking to end a season long slump. Yes, their strength of schedule has been excellent up to this point, but one might argue that maybe they just aren't that good this season.
However, the Red Raiders also enter the weekend on sort of a slide after a series loss last weekend up in West Virginia, followed by a heart breaking 7-6 loss to the New Mexico State Aggies on a blown 6-4 eighth inning lead.
Even though TCU is on a bit of a slide, Texas Tech knows that they need to come out and protect their home turf against somewhat of a sleeping giant.
There's no question that the Frogs will be gunning for Tech with a bit of a chip on their shoulder.
One thing for Texas Tech remains unclear going forward this weekend, and that is the pitching rotation.
Other than Dominic Moreno getting the nod on Friday night, Coach Tadlock has kept his pitching rotation for the weekend under wraps and that is something that will bring the element of surprise to a very underachieving TCU offense.
When TCU is on their game, they are tough to beat. In their nine wins this season, they have hit at a .301 clip as well as compile a 1.54 ERA.
However, throughout the entirety of the season, the Frogs' offense is batting a mere .244 with only three hitters hitting above the .300 mark.
To put this in perspective, this offense appears to be worse than the Longhorn offense we saw just two weeks ago.
And on the flip side, the Frogs' pitching staff has compiled a 3.02 ERA and a .232 opponent batting average.
First pitch on Friday night between the Frogs and the Raiders will be at 6:30 p.m. and will be televised nationally on Fox College Sports.
For those out of town, here are the channel listings for FCS:
DirecTV: Ch. 617, 623, or 626
Verizon FiOS: Ch. 301
AT&T Uverse: Ch. 648
Head Coach: Jim Schlossnagle
Overall Record (9-15, 1-5 Big 12)
-TCU will be completing an 8 game road trip this weekend.
-TCU has won 11 straight in the series dating back to 2007.
-TCU's right-handed ace, Preston Morrison, is second in the Big 12 in ERA (1.18) behind Texas Tech right-hander Trey Masek (0.22)

Customer Reviews
Love it!
This is by far the best editing app I have tried, and trust me I have tried a lot!! Just wish I could access the filters that are locked by Facebook seeming I don't have one. Also, I had an iPhone 4 and I downloaded the app and bought all of the features, but when I upgraded to 5s, I could still redownload the app for free, but I had to buy all of the packages again. Wish that could be fixed. Other than that it's my favorite editing app of all time.
Wrote that review above when the iPhone 5s came out and nothing has been done! I ended up re-buying all of the packages again onto my 5s and recently I just upgraded to an iPhone 6 and I had the same problem again with not being able to use my packages that I have already bought twice! I'm now going to have to re buy them for a 3rd time! Would like it if this could be fixed before my next upgrade.
Absolutely in love
I've been using Afterlight since they had the stock preview instead of the live preview of your pic. I love the interface but more importantly it's a stable app. It hasn't crashed on me in the years I've had it ( useful tip -- don't close your apps out ). The abundance of filters and variances for each filter by being able to change the intensity is great. My favorite filter feature is the light leak and dust filters. This is truly the best filter app I've used. I highly recommend it. I'm using this on an iPad and the experience is great. I have the additional filters and I have so many more options . The team did a great job with this app. The only thing is that I wished that it also create it's own album instead of posting directly to the camera roll....More
I love this app!!!!!
This app is so awesome. It doesnt just make my photos stunning it is so much fun. Its so addictive and i just got it. I cant believe i just found this now but im lucky i did. This is such an easy and affordable app which is one of the many reasons why im obsessed. Definitely worth it. Especially for people who are interested in tumblr photos this is the app for you. It makes normal photos turn amazing. Im so happy i got this app because now it made me get more into photography. If you or someone else you know are interested in photography i definitely recommend this app to you. Hopefully you get to experience what its like with the app. If you buy this app your in for a real treat. Good luck!...More

With out help from Max Gest,I was totally lost,And no where to turn after consulting three other attornets. Mr.Gest took my case .and justice was done. I can never thank him enough..I will recommend Mr Gest to anyone with a legal problem.
Anonymous review posted on
I was involved with federal employment that required legal assistance. Attorney Max Gest specializes in federal case law for employees, and he came to my rescue. He was confident, selected cases that had a good chance of winning, and he stayed beside me the whole way. It took perhaps two years of work before Atty. Gest succeeded in settling my case.
Mr Gest was available not only for consultation when needed. He was available while I was still employed. Atty Gest provided me with wise counsel, emotional support, and most of all, he simply believed in me.
At the time that he litigated my case, Atty Gest was thorough and professional. He followed up telephone conversations with a letter. He sent many letters to my place of employment, the West Los Angeles Veterans Administration Medical Center. Over the course of more than two years, Atty. Gest provided various kinds of support.
Sometimes, I was upset and angry at the VA. Other times during this case, I seemed to be pushed aside or forgotten about, with respect to the opposing party. Passive aggressive behavior on the part of my place of employment led to so much confusion that I was relieved and emotionally encouraged to have Atty Max Gest as my representation.
If you are suffering at your place of Federal employment, and you have been unnecessarily injured, look no further in the State of California. I only 'found' Mr Gest, years ago, by calling the State Board of Licensure for Attorneys. Through their help, I was given Atty Max Gest's contact information, and little did I know that my first phone call to The Law Offices of Richard P. Fox and Max Gest would change my life for the better.
I have known Atty Gest for approximately 6 or 7 years. He maintains professional contact and has stayed in the 'loop' of my life. To this end, he continues to have a professional stance, touching bases with me so that he continues to follow my case, even after it has been settled.
I highly encourage any one that is Federally employed to contact Atty. Max Gest for assistance. If he does not think your case will win, he wlll not accept it. So Atty Gest displays honesty, jurisprudence, and loyalty to the Law. He is professional, punctual, able to be contacted, and once a professional rapport is established, Atty Gest is one of the best people you wlll ever have the pleasure of meeting.
If you are in a predicament, and you need federal law attorney specialization, you will be so grateful to have Atty Gest on your side. And his knowledge and years of professional experience will show itself not only to you, but to your employer as well. You can have confidence in Attorney Max Gest, and you will be very happy with his office staff, also.
Please do not hesitate to contact Atty Gest for federal workman's compensation or other matters that are ailing you. He will always be there for you, but not if you don't call :-). Blessings and good luck..if you have read this far, you will know that you have your answer. Yes. Atty Gest provides nothing but the best services in representing you.
Thank you, Atty Max Gest for helping me! I hope you can do the same for others!

BASEL, Switzerland (AP) – One of the few women running a top-tier European football club says she is stepping down this year for health reasons.
FC Basel President Gisela Oeri, popularly known as ''Gigi,'' is a philanthropist who invested millions of Swiss francs (dollars) in the club since joining the board of directors in 1999.
The 55-year-old Oeri married into the family which part owns the Basel-based Roche Holding AG pharmaceuticals giant.
She has been Basel president for five years, during which time the club has won three Swiss league titles.
Oeri's leadership will end in December after Basel competes again in the Champions League group stage.
She will be succeeded by vice president Bernhard Heusler.

Skip to comments.Perry Breaks With a Fellow Texan: Bush
Posted on 07/05/2011 9:15:40 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
AUSTIN, Tex. Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican contemplating a presidential run, shares many attributes with the last man who ran for president from here, his predecessor and onetime patron, George W. Bush. He has the same straight-legged Texas swagger; the down-home, clipped speaking style; the desert-baked conservatism.
But in recent years, Mr. Perry has broken politically with Mr. Bush, questioning his credentials as a fiscal conservative, accusing him of going on a big government binge and playing down some of Mr. Bushs accomplishments in Texas in light of his own.
Mr. Perrys public statements exposed a long-simmering rivalry that had been little known outside of the political fraternity here but underscores the rightward drift of the Republican Party since Mr. Bush was president. More acutely, Mr. Perrys criticism holds potential peril and benefit for him should he decide to mount a presidential campaign, allowing him to establish an identity distinct from Mr. Bush but risking a guerrilla campaign against him by the former presidents inner circle.
Mr. Perry, whose aides say will make a decision within weeks, has been meeting around the country with potential fund-raisers, and last week went to Colorado for a gathering of prominent conservative rainmakers held by members of the Koch family, which helped finance the Tea Party movement.....
On government spending, immigration and education, Mr. Perrys criticisms of Mr. Bush have given him cachet with conservatives, especially with Tea Party voters who blame the former president for allowing spending and the reach of government to grow rapidly.
Those criticisms have burnished the Perry image as less prone to ideological compromise or a fuzzy compassionate brand of conservatism, an appealing trait to those Republican primary voters seeking purity in their nominee....
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
Hey, I beat the "Guardasil" for brains dude!
Perry's real position on immigration does not seem to be a tough one.
This year the legislature in Texas killed proposals that could have reached his desk and forced him to put his signature on some sort of action against illegals.
What was that you called it? "PDS"?
I am not given to clicking thru to NYT articles so I'm going out on a limb here to predict the article says little or nothing about Perry's decidedly un-conservative actions such as the Trans-Texas Corridor, inaction on runaway illegal immigration, and Gardasil. Perry is not a true conservative choice in this election cycle. Perry is only a conservative if you have an east-of-the-Hudson perspective.
Does that also include ex-governors who move to Arizona?
Perry took a six thousand dollar campaign contribution from the pharma company behind Guardasil sent through a group called "Women In Politics."
As governor, Perry proposed requiring 11 year and 12 year old girls to be injected with Guardasil. The drug is a vaccine against the sexually transmitted HPV virus.
Then the grassroots got angry that he would make a vaccine against a sexually transmitted disease mandatory for young girls (assume they are all going to have sex?????) and he backed off.
It's early.
The Dems love you for it.
The "game" of politics.
Face it. The GOP is going to nominate McRomney. Your choice will be between Romney and Obama. He has made all the needed deals and compromises needed to be nominated. Happens every time.
I have never attacked any candidate.
I don't go onto threads and bash other candidates.
I started many Sarah Palin threads.
What a RINO! Rather than going to battle against the Commie, BHO,this guy prefers to lock horns with GWB? Bush is yesterday's mashed potatoes! You want more of the same as we've been getting the past 2 1/2 years, vote for Rick Perry!
Yes. It is a NYT story. But much of this is already out there. They've just collected it and inserted the Tea Party into the story to update it.
"Mr. Perry has broken politically with Mr. Bush, questioning his credentials as a fiscal conservative, accusing him of going on a big government binge"
To give credit where credit is due, I have to admit that Perry distancing himself from Bush is a good thing.
I still don't trust Perry on immigration and nanny staterism, but do credit him for realizing Bush was a disaster for conservatives.
What exactly are you talking about?
But don't dismiss this vaccine because your daughters are chaste. Someday they may marry, but not marry a chaste man. Do you know a lot of men that come to their marriages virgin? Men carry HPV also. There is also some encouraging research about this being effective against some herpes viruses.
HPV is a virus and cannot be treated with antibiotics. You may be thinking that it's like the clap. HPV is permanent.
I'm not talking up mandatory vaccination here. But don't throw out a possibly good vaccine with your indignation with how it was managed. I happen to think that there should be an effort to get more men to take the vaccine.
There's no doubt in my mind that the end game is exactly that.
Rick Perry and all the other names out there are window dressing to split off votes from grassroots conservatives so Romney can win the nomination.
There's only one person who has authentic anti-GOP establishment bonafides.
She's gone "rogue" before and she's the only candidate I will enthusiastically support (and that means money from my pocket, too).
Perry isn't as conservative as I'd like, esp. on the issues noted (amnesty, big-government-ing like Gardasil), but he seems several notches more so than Bush 43. I'm not ready to put him in the rejects bin just yet. He'd be hard for Obama to beat due to the jobs record.
Spare me the Diogenesis rhetoric. There are actually some of us who have brains of our own and don't need validation or you to clarify our perspective for us.
And then this.
July 4, 2011: [Texas] Rule requiring drivers to prove citizenship now law As the House early last month debated a must-pass finance bill, one member slipped in language that puts into law a controversial Texas Department of Public Safety policy requiring driver's license applicants to show they're in the country legally.
The amendment, added by Rep. Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, to the education funding bill legislators needed to balance the state budget had originally been included in Senate Bill 9, the so-called "sanctuary cities" bill that failed in the special session. It also had appeared in an omnibus homeland security bill by Sen. Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, that died in the regular session.
The new law approved last Tuesday makes some tweaks to a 2008 DPS policy that prevents illegal immigrants from getting a driver's license and created a special license for temporary visitors. The rules require Texans applying for or renewing their license to show they are citizens or are in the country legally.
By putting it into law the state potentially undermines an ongoing lawsuit that argues DPS doesn't have authority to check legal status."....
I, for one, am very happy to have a Republican candidate explain how he (or she) disagrees with the disaster that was George W. Bush's "Compassionate Conservatism." Its not going after Bush, who is now out of office. Its making clear that he understands the disasters of the Bush years when it came to spending and entitlement expansion. I want a candidate who is going to say "No" to spending, period. And who recognizes that the "Compassionate Conservatives" of 2000 though 2006 set the stage for the Dems' and Obama's spending binge.
Yep, I wont support anyone that doesnt explain where Republicans went wrong under Bush and it better be specific and credible, not the canned stuff that typically gets thrown around by Republicans.
Bush pushed NCLB and medicare drugs to get re-elected in 2004 (yippee we beat Kerry) and then went crazy after the election each year getting worse as his approval rating got worse and worse, the candidates should start there.
There are three directions one can see the wrong here.
One, violation of family religious and moral convictions by state mandate.
The state mandating a vaccine that has had more doubts about its safety rasied as time went on.
The link between a poliitcal contribution from a business and government policy.
They all make Perry look bad in my book.
LOL! Good one. :D
I'm with you. I don't care which of the Republicans you look at, each of them has something about them that some aren't going to like. But-and this is a big BUT-any of the Republicans, and I mean ANY, is better than the flop-eared S.O.B that currently sits in the Oval Office (when he's not golfing or on vacation) and I will run to vote for whomever runs against the muzzi, impostor American that is in office now when given the opportunity to do so.
Perry was for amnesty. For me, he's done!
Give LINK!
You get it. The rest of this babble is lame Politibabble. The GOP is going with Romney. They will lose.
I think Perry is a business as usual politician who is ducking a tough stance on illegal immigration by speaking at the edges of the issue.
Heck, even Arizona's SB 1070 was a political ploy by a moderate Republican Jan Brewer to hustle conservatives and win re-election as Arizona governor in 2010.
She signed the law, got the credit for signing it while the courts tied up implementing the law anyway. NO ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW WITH A MODERATE REPUBLICAN GETTING THE CREDIT FOR SIGNING THE BILL.
Rick Perry is part of a political game right now designed to split up grassroots conservtive votes so Mitt Romney can be the GOP nominee in 2012.
That's my bottom line.
Look at his history yourself.
In all reality, your worst fear will probably happen anyway, in spite of your best effort to force the opposite.
You also don't realize it, but it is painfully obvious what you and your kind are up to.
I have not picked my candidate, but he would have to be a poor one indeed for me not to support against Obama.
And I would very much like that candidate to not be Romney.
We are not killing them off. They killed themselves off.
It is well known by insiders that knew Bush and Cheney that Bush gave Rick Perry a nickname. The nickname is "The Dumbass".
I would not go so far as to say that. It's obvious, that one went smoking right over the tops of their heads.
My dear, you have it backwards. The Bush's have gone after Rick Perry.
Re: Taking it to Obama.
Obama certainly doesn't like the Photo ID that took Gov. Rick Perry 6 years to get passed.
Obama doesn't like a lot of things about Perry's politics or Texans for that matter.
Perry voices concern to feds about anti-Israel flotillas -- June 29, 2011 ....Perry wrote in a letter dated Wednesday, According to numerous recent media reports, American citizens and organizations, together with a coalition of violent anti-Israeli organizations from other countries, have organized efforts to breach Israels Maritime blockade of the Gaza Strip as early as this week.
He continued, The act of funding, supporting, organizing and engaging in these efforts appears to constitute participation in a naval expedition against a people with whom the United States is at peace, as well as material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization and other violations....
The letter concludes, I respectfully request that the U.S. Department of Justice take immediate steps to investigate, enjoin and bring to justice all parties found to be in violation of U.S. law by their participation in these efforts....
"......When Obama continued to refuse even five minutes for the Governor, Perry took matters into this own hands and was standing on the tarmac at Austins airport when President Obama stepped off of Air Force One. Obama looked confused, Perry looked determined. Obama still ignored the pleas for help.
Perry again took matters into his own hands, and established an elite unit of Texas Rangers to bolster border security..." Source
Rick Perry Hits Obama on Abortion Before Possible GOP Campaign "....Perry said that, under Obama our federal tax dollars can now be used to fund abortion all over the world. With the stroke of a pen, abortion essentially became a U.S. foreign export.
On embryonic stem cell research, he said Obama was turning the remains of unborn children into nothing more than raw material, according to an AP report. Obama is ignoring the overriding responsibility of every government that is to protect citizens at every stage of their lives, especially those who cannot protect themselves, Perry said...."
Rick Perry: Al Gore's gone to Hell
Perry does not believe there is valid scientific proof of anthropogenic global warming. He has said several times that there is no scientific consensus on the issue.
On September 7, 2007 Perry gave a speech to California Republicans. He said, "Virtually every day another scientist leaves the global warming bandwagon. ... But you won't read about that in the press because they have already invested in one side of the story."
June 29, 2011: Roger Hedgecock interview with Rick Perry (starts 1/2 way into audio file)
You have no LINK because you are just throwing out anything to see if it sticks.
If you have a complaint explain it and LINK it to facts.
I'm not going to lose sleep over my first choice for president.
But I will give my opinion and analysis of the situation.
The GOP race is being rigged with splitter candidates being pumped up to cover Romney's flanks so he can win the nomination.
The political bosses may speak of an "open primary" or "open race" but behind the scenes their money and organization creates the final outcome of the race. This has happened countless times in state and local races.
Conservatives in the grassroots of the GOP aren't organized and the insiders either overcome the conservatives with money and media behind their candidate (usually projecting a conservative image).
If the conservative opposition is too strong at grassroots level and the moderate insider can't get a majority in a primary vote, the insiders create a third candidate to run a conservative campaign (tough radical speeches and image) splittng conservative votes so the RINO wins the primary.
We see this strategy now playing out in the presidential race with the fear of Palin and Paul driving the RINO's to go to extreme lengths with this strategy.
Here you go..There are lots of good things about Perry...After all he is my Governor and I voted for him each and every time he ran..We like him here if we didn't he would be gone..He is good for Texas and could be great for the country but if you don't want him then if he does run for president don't vote for him..He can be our governor and continue to help this state stay #1..
Agree with you....the ideal candidate is for ideologues, whether it be from the left or the right. You can see what it's done from the left. This is a center right country.
What class.
I understand that the Bushes don't like it when Rick Perry calls George W. Bush, "George" in public.
Imagine? Such disrespect.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of Military Intelligence Major General Amos Yadlin said Palestinian terror groups are planning a major terror attack on Yom Ha'atzma'ut (Israel's Independence Day), which begins at sundown Tuesday evening, May 7, and ends at sundown Wednesday, May 8.
While Israelis celebrate the nation's 60th anniversary, Yadlin said that terror cells would like to pool their resources to carry out a mega-attack in the country that day.
Yadlin also warned that thousands of Gaza-based Palestinians may try to storm the border with Israel, as they did in January when they blew up the concrete wall at the Rafah crossing at the border with Egypt.
According to Yadlin, Egypt's deployment of additional forces at Rafah, meant to prevent another attempt to breach its border, may cause the terror groups to direct their efforts at Israeli border crossings.
Senior Hamas terrorist Mahmoud al-Zahar warned that if the border crossings aren't opened, "all options will remain" in their hands.

The Golden Knights (22-11, 7-9), who started the season 19-2 before battling bad weather and a 3-9 late-season slump, are the third seed from the PSAC West. Mercyhurst handed top-seeded California (32-2, 15-1) its only loss in PSAC West play to claim the No. 2-seed tiebreaker.
Gannon must face Bloomsburg (27-18, 11-5), the third seed in the PSAC Central in a play-in game at 10 a.m. The winner faces PSAC East winner and the tourney's No. 1 seed Shippensburg (30-9, 12-4) at 4 p.m. in the first round.
Mercyhurst had back-to-back winning seasons under 10th-year coach Sara Headley in 2011 and 2012. Their 24-20 mark in 2011 was the first time since 1991 the Lakers had finished above .500. They won their first two PSAC playoff games in 2012. This is the third straight PSAC playoff appearance for Mercyhurst, led by junior first baseman Courtney Smith (.407, 13 doubles, three home runs, .524 slugging). Senior right-hander "Megan Hopton (11-13, 3.76 ERA) hurled a complete game in a 4-3 win at Cal April 3.
Gannon, under fourth-year coach Tom Jakubowski, went 30-17 in 2012 but lost twice in the PSAC tournament.
The Knights went two weeks without playing because of poor weather, and 33 games is the second-lowest total in the PSAC. Only Edinboro (8-23) played fewer games.
Edinboro started Gannon's demise with a doubleheader sweep, and Mercyhurst followed with another sweep.
The Knights rely on senior shortstop Samantha Scott (.441, 8 home runs, 9 doubles, .739 slugging pct.).
Right-hander Megan Dragon (12-5, 2.39 ERA, 99 strikeouts) is the pitching ace for the fourth straight season and has a 50-34 career record.
The PSAC tournament continues through Saturday.
Indiana beat Bloomsburg 10-9 in the 2012 PSAC title game. IUP did not advance to this season's tournament.

Murder-suicide probe
at care facility
A woman was fatally shot at a long-term care facility in Milwaukee before her attacker stabbed himself to death in a murder-suicide, Milwaukee police said Tuesday.
Debbie A. Tyszko, 59, of Cameo Care Campus, 5790 S. 27th St., was killed Monday by Allen R. Silva, 56, who then took his own life, Lt. Mark Stanmeyer said.
Silva was an acquaintance of Tyszko's. Autopsies for both were planned, according to the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office.
N. 100th St. repairs start this week
A road project in Milwaukee and Wauwatosa expected to last until mid-October will turn N. 100th St. into a one-way, northbound-only street and create significant traffic slowdowns starting Wednesday.
Wauwatosa's engineering department said there will be access to parking lots and residences on N. 100th St. between Grantosa Drive and Ruby Ave. throughout the project.
The one-way traffic will affect students, staff and visitors driving to or from Divine Savior Holy Angels High School and Milwaukee Lutheran High School on school days, according to Ald. Jim Bohl. Milwaukee Lutheran High School students can avoid contributing to the congestion by exiting to the east along W. Grantosa Drive.
Another construction project nearby has already reduced W. Capitol Drive to one lane in each direction, Bohl said in a news release, causing further delays.

Ex-student charged
in uncle's drug death
A former University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student was charged with first-degree homicide in connection with the heroin overdose death of his uncle.
Tyler Schmidt, 20, is accused of providing heroin to his uncle, Timothy Stanczyk, 56, of Watertown, who was found unresponsive and sitting at the student's desk in Sandburg Hall on Dec. 3.
Cotton balls, a spoon, foil packets and a tourniquet were found in the room, and two syringes were found in a nearby trash bin, police said.
Schmidt admitted to police he bought heroin for his uncle because his uncle "wanted it" and later gave him Suboxone, according to a criminal complaint.
Schmidt and Stanczyk both have a history of drug use, according to reports.
Schmidt has pleaded not guilty to the charge and is expected back in court Sept. 6 for a scheduling conference.
Girlfriend arrested

The man lost control of his car about 9 p.m. Monday in the 1000 block of N. 4th St. and hit an unoccupied Jeep Cherokee parked on the street, Sheboygan police said Tuesday.
The man's car then rolled over multiple times and hit a pickup truck driven by a 61-year-old man, who was taken to the hospital, treated for minor injuries and released.
The 23-year-old man was removed from his car by the fire department and cited for suspicion of causing injury while driving drunk and reckless driving. Sheboygan police have not released the man's name.
School worker charged with viewing child porn
Phelps — A Phelps School District employee is accused of accessing child pornography while at work.
The 61-year-old Phelps man was arrested Monday. Vilas County sheriff's officials are recommending 78 felony counts of possessing child pornography.
The Sheriff's Department investigated after someone from the school district reported in February that an employee was accessing pornographic websites.
Trempeauleau halts sand mine permits
Whitehall — Trempealeau County is taking a step back from issuing frac sand mining permits after approving more than any other county in Wisconsin and Minnesota in the past three years.
An overflow crowd at Monday night's county board meeting erupted in applause when members voted overwhelmingly in favor of a moratorium of up to a year on permitting new sand mining projects or allowing existing mines to expand.
Supporters of the moratorium argued it will allow the county, across the Mississippi River from Winona, Minn., to evaluate the health and environmental concerns about sand mining.
