You have to wonder how their party came to be known as the party of personal responsibility.

[sweetladybug]

10. ok jeezus, how in the hell is Thompson saying it's clinton' fault?

Nothing is this adminstration's fault. THE WHOLE BUNCH ARE UNBELIEVABLE!

[blue neen]

13. And how did Tommy try to pin this one on Clinton?

Seriously, how could Clinton possibly have caused this?

[MisterP]

http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/10/18/flu/index.html
shut up, Tommy

[TankLV]

27. Where does he blame President Clinton? I can't find it.

Wouldn't surprise me, tho.

[polmaven]

16. Let me guess.

If Clinton (and, of course, his co-demon Kerry) had tamed those wealthy trial lawyers this never would have happened.

Am I close?

[Anakin Skywalker]

17. LOL

Clinton must surely be flattered that the GOP is still obsessed with him.

[izzie]

18. And tomorrow all the GOP will say the same.

I almost fell off the chair. It is so silly. Like blaming Clinton for not getting bin Larden and then Bush is kissy, kissy with the whole family and so are all the people he put in office and his own father.And of course we tax payers pick up the bill to make these guys as rich as they are. Where are the Republicans and what are they thinking.

[ticapnews]

20. Actually, he is blaming Jimmy Carter

"but we need to solve the problem with the vaccine manufacturing and that's a problem that's been 25 years in the making."

The problem really started 25 years ago. So it's Jimmy Carter's fault.
I guess in hindsight it was a mistake to make flu vaccine out of peanut butter... :+

[fishface]

21. Here's the wingnutz version. The clown on this board never

has links to give but he's a dedicated follower of World Daily Dreck and NewsHacks so it'll be one of those.
----
As reported by the Wall Street Journal this week,
"The reason for today's shortage - as well as seven
previous preventive vaccine shortages since 2000 -
is that there are just five vaccine makers.
"This lack of suppliers is partly thanks to Hillary
Clinton, who as first lady turned government into
the majority buyer of vaccines and pushed prices so
low as to make business unsustainable."

Last summer the Journal noted that the problem goes
back to 1993, when Mrs. Clinton's "Vaccines for
Children Program" was first implemented.

Hillary's vaccine crusade was being pushed by her
Children's Defense Fund mentor Marian Wright Edelman
- even though U.S. child vaccination rates at the
time were considered relatively high by medical
experts.

But that didn't stop Sen. Clinton and her
"reformers." She pressured Congress to back the
disastrous plan in a bid to make vaccines more
available to poor, uninsured and underinsured
children. In the process she turned the government
into the major purchaser and distributor of
vaccines.

Oops! Unfortunately for the familles of the 11
children killed by the disease so far, things didn't
quite work out the way Hillary had planned.

As noted by the Kansas City Star this week, the
decision to force vaccine makers to discount their
price resulted in "declining financial incentives to
develop and produce vaccines."

What's more, the vaccination rate "barely budged"
after the Hillary-Edelman brainchild was
implemented.

Hillary's "reform" did, however, manage to leave the
nation thoroughly unprepared to handle the current
flu crisis.

31. $8 in France

That's what they cost, someone posted it earlier. Corporate stockholders and CEO's may not have been able to walk away with billions, but that's not the same thing as a company not being able to make a profit. We used to know that, 40 years ago. Reaganism.

[sphincter]

22. Things finally makes sense.

I have had troubles with my left foot for a couple of months. Now I know who's fault that is....

[greekspeak]

23. What was his logic on this?

Everything has to be a liberal's fault. Earthquake? Because Clinton didn't stop plate tectonics. How lame.

[screembloodymurder]

24. Yep, Rush and the boys are pushing this angle

It's Hillary's fault. She made the shots too cheap. What a cheap shot. Funny how up in Canada they can get all the cheap shots they need, but down here in the good ol USA the system goes to hell.

[Dem_Loyalist]

25. Is there a link to the story?

I haven't seen this in the news tonite.

[MissRegina]

28. Watch the news more!

Just kidding. I heard about it too. Don't have a link for ya' but I'll keep my eye out.

[Dem_Loyalist]

34. I appreciate that

But honestly, I work 2 jobs to keep my kids fed and clothed. One is minimum wage and the other barely above minimum wage. Theres not much time left over. Ive come to count more and more and more on DU for my news and world information.

[bubblebuttbeauty]

36. I Know What You Mean.

I don't trust media news outlets for the most part. They are too one-sided. I think people here post honest, truthful stories that are reliable. Especially right now. The media's constant orgasm for chimpie is too much to bear.

[ReadTomPaine]

26. Shocked it took this long.

Isn't this SOP?

RTP

[WLKjr]

29. Ummm Tom, Clinton has not been the president and is not the president now

GWB, if he and you knew this would be a problem, why didn't you fix it?


die.

[Gaffey Duck]

32. Typical Republican...

"Is it Clinton's fault yet?"

[Carolab]

33. SO what's CLINTON

got to say???? Where is "big dawg" on this anyway?

[underseasurveyor]

37. Get a grip Man. It's the Mantra, the bush Mantra I tell you.......

Like clockwork, karl rove knows this mantra works everytime. Stupid people scare easily then add a little Clinton in for flavor and flying monkeys are humping each other in fear and peeing on themselves with glee at the same time. Their too *ahem* busy to pay attention:evilgrin: lol

But I know we know better. Who is the Ultimate Miserable Failure? Come on say it with me :bounce:


Damn Right It's His FAULT! :grr:
