Republican Presidential Candidaten Michele Bachmann claimed after the CNN/Tea Party debate on Monday,on the ”Today” show, that a woman came up to her and told her that her daughter had become “mentally retarded” after being vaccinated against Genital human papillomavirus (HPV).
The doctors only want the medical records of the woman or child involved in the story but I’m taking it a bit further I doubt there ever was a woman!
Now, don’t get me wrong I’m not saying that people don’t make these types of claims all the times and politicians and public figures probably hear these types of stories more than psychiatrists! However, they tend to either dismiss the story or do their own private investigative work to see if their is any validity to the claims. And sometimes, where there is smoke there is fire. For instance, last year the US government issued an official apology to the Guatamalan government some 40 years after it was revealed that Guatamalan prisoners and mental health patients were intentionally infected with gonorrhea, syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Michele Bachmann supposedly repeated a story she had just heard from a woman, she had just met just after the CNN/Tea Party debate on Monday September 12th on a national television show the day after. I don’t think she’s that dumb. However, I do believe that she would take an issue that she knows could resonate and top it off with a wild accusation that feeds into the public distrust of public health inoculation programs, throw it at her main opponent Rick Perry and hope that it sticks.
She has said that she doesn’t know if this story is true, but putting aside the crazy accusations this ‘mystery woman’ made to Representative Bachamann and the examination of her records, I just would love for the Bachmann campaign to produce the woman that said it and allow her to be questioned by the media. I doubt they can. They can certainly produce many people who would make that claim but the actual person who told Michele Bachmann that story, right after the debate and with all the cameras around her I’m sure some photographer would’ve captured the exchange. So that would be proof.
I doubt that woman and her daughter will ever be found because they probably don’t exist.
And I’m not the only one who doubts Bachmann’s story either. Laura Curtis, a conservative blogger has now had a change of heart about about Bachmann and states on her blog, Pursuing Holiness, that Bachmann either, “lied or was incredibly stupid to repeat such a ridiculous story.” I don’t normally agree with conservatives but on this point I’m definitely nodding my head in agreement.
Women, working class and senior voters push Clinton to a victory in Pennsylvania.
Obamabased on exit polling has not made any significant inroads into Clintons’ core bases and this just might prove problematic for Obama come November.
I know, I know these voters might not have stayed with the democratic nominee anyway come November since they have a tendency to vote Republican, since this is the case John McCain will be the beneficiary of these voters and Obama cannot..cannot cede them to McCain..
That’s what he said today on Chris Matthews’ Hardball..I’ll believe it when I see it..hmm I wonder if he’s saying that because he knows the democrats will be able to outspend him maybe 2/3 to 1 come November?
Hmm..I wonder..lol
Here’s another interesting bit of information apparently some Vietnam Vets are planning to ‘swifboat’ John McCain by launching a series of ads questioning his military service and conservative credentials and supposedly it might be coming from within the GOP….hmm interesting right?....read more…
Here’s another installment of my where are they (the former presidential nominees) now….
Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter remember him? He too thought he had a chance of becoming the Republican nominee for President but those thoughts and his campaign should have evaporated almost as fast as a pool of water in Death Valley. Instead he dragged it out until January 19th of this year.
And of course Cindy McCain looks great as usual..another pastel..she seems to like those colors..
We knew it all along he’s going to run a national security campaign and it’s going to be difficult for the democrats to beat him on that but if the dems elect Obama he will do it..
You know it always amazes me when he talks about the environment and protecting it..it’s amazing and freaky when it comes from a Republican and you know what that shouldn’t be but I guess that’s why he’s a ‘maverick’..and he gets in a dig at Clinton too by saying HE IS the MOST EXPERIENCED!!!
Huckabee and Mccain are double teaming Romney. Huckabee is hitting him hard in the South by taking away his supporterswith wins in Alabama, Arkansas and West Virginia while Mccain has been piling up states in the the North East and the Mid West including New York, Connecticut, Illinois, Delaware and New Jersey.
Romney is getting it both ways and I love it….you know I’m not a Republican supporter but I can’t stand Romney!!
He’s FAKE>>FAKE>>FAKE and I can’t stand that I respect any individual who says this is who I am deal with it and Romney hasn’t and from my research he has never, ever done that he blows wherever the wind blows and says whatever needs to be said in order to win while Mccain or even Huckabee for that matter have never tried to have it both ways..plus he’s played nasty with his teammates and I don’t respect that from any individual! So GO ON Team MCCAIN and HUCKABEE!!!
I wonder how long it will take before he’s down for the count?
Bachmann’s HPV woman probably doesn’t exist
Republican Presidential Candidaten Michele Bachmann claimed after the CNN/Tea Party debate on Monday,on the ”Today” show, that a woman came up to her and told her that her daughter had become “mentally retarded” after being vaccinated against Genital human papillomavirus (HPV).
A few hours ago two doctors offered to pay more than $10 000 for proof of the woman’s claim and Bachmann’s assertions.
The doctors only want the medical records of the woman or child involved in the story but I’m taking it a bit further I doubt there ever was a woman!
