Idiots of the Day - Conservatives Against The Cervical Cancer Vaccine

“Because the vaccine protects against a sexually transmitted virus, many conservatives oppose making it mandatory, citing fears that it could send a subtle message condoning sexual activity before marriage. Several leading groups that promote abstinence are meeting this week to formulate official policies on the vaccine.”

So, let me get this straight.  Conservatives don’t want their daughters vaccinated against a deadly disease before puberty because they want them to abstain from sex?  Okay, what about the kids who don’t abstain (there are lots of them…check out the birth rates in the red states) or the ones who are raped?  What about saving your kids’ lives do these idiots not understand?  This “...vaccine appears to be virtually 100 percent effective against two of the most common cancer-causing HPV strains.”  What happened to family values - doesn’t that include saving the LIVES of family members?  “Cervical cancer strikes more than 10,000 U.S. women each year, killing more than 3,700.”  You know what, I’ll bet those 10,000 women who get cervical cancer aren’t all liberals.  You know, just a wild guess.

”“While we welcome medical advances such as an HPV vaccine, it remains clear that practicing abstinence until marriage and fidelity within marriage is the single best way of preventing the full range of sexually transmitted diseases,” the group said.”  Hello!  Idiots, do you need me to start naming all of the conservatives who have cheated on their wives, therefore not practicing the “single best way” to prevent sexually transmitted diseases?  You know what, I think that you do.  Here is a list, which is by no means exhaustive.  Not everyone has been caught and publicly humiliated. Rep. Henry Hyde Mike Bowers George Bush Newt Gingrich Bob Dole Former Rep. Bob Dornan John Linder Ronald Reagan William Cohen Guy Millner Rush Limbaugh Mitch Skandalakis Michael Deaver John Warner Bill Randall Bill McCartney - Promise Keepers founder! Rep. Dan Burton Rep. Bob Barr Cheated on all three of his wives - and coerced one into having an abortion - then lied about it. Rudolph Giuliani Sen. Strom Thurmond Gilbert Davis - Paula Jones’ attorney, who allowed himself to be videotaped drunk during his adultery Bob Packwood Gov. Kirk Fordice Beverly Russell - The Christian Coalition coordinator who molested his stepdaughter Susan Smith, who later killed her own kids. Marv Albert
