It was the right choice. (Like moi, you can read the transcript here.) Texas Governor Rick Perry wasted no time saying he made a “mistake” by requiring adolescent girls in Texas to be vaccinated against strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer. And then Rep. Michele Bachmann chimed in to … well, lie on national television by smearing Plan B, which is the morning-after pill, as the “morning-after abortion pill.” You know, implying that it is the abortion pill, i.e. kills babies: “President Obama in a stunning, shocking level of power now just recently told all private insurance companies, you must offer the morning-after abortion pill [emphasis mine], because I said so.
Let’s not not even talk about her arguments about Obama and health care, which are another issue entirely. Want to contact the writer of this post? Who Would Win Under Obama's Jobs Plan. Another Odd Bachmann Rebuttal: 'I've Been Part of the Real World Throughout My Life' Speaking to reporters at a sparsely attended press conference Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann delivered a response to President Barack Obama's jobs speech. "Even if the President's plan passes, we already know it will fail," she said, offering her own nine-point plan. During questions, Bachmann told reporters that her response to the president was not "campaign related. " "This is the president who called 535 members of Congress to hear what I believe was nothing more than political speech," she remarked.

The Congresswoman explained that she had not been able to attend the President's speech in person because of bad road conditions. Michele Bachmann dismisses CBO then uses CBO numbers within 60 seconds (Video) - National Political Buzz.

According the CBO, the Republican actions will increase the deficit by $230 billion over the first two years, and by $1.2 trillion over the next 20 years. Republicans like Rep.
