Kerry flu shot

[detroit]

I've heard people whining all day because Kerry supposedly got a flu shot. I am not even sure it is true. But if it IS true, consider this:

Kerry comes into contact with THOUSANDS of people every day, all over the nation. Without the shot, he could end up being a sort of typhoid Mary. So if he got the shot, it seems more like a sensible precaution than an act of "arrogance."

[bluedog]

1. he also had

a bout with cancer..........I would say hes at high risk...as I'm sure cheney had one also.

[klook]

2. You better believe Bush is getting a flu shot

and it will probably be imported from Canada, too!

[flamingyouth]

5. Yep

Does anyone really buy his tripe that he isn't getting a flu shot? I couldn't believe he said that. Then again, I can't believe pretty much anything he says.

[cheezus]

3. um, he's got secret service protection too

we protect the candidates better than the general public, it's fact. boohoohoo

[geek tragedy]

4. Kerry did not get a flu shot. eom

[MADem]

6. Where is your link?

"I've heard people whining" is not evidence. Which people? Do they enjoy the LEFT BEHIND series? Do they post at RW forums? Who, pray tell, are these PEOPLE????

I haven't heard a SINGLE person say anything about this, today, yesterday, or the day before...the very first I heard of this issue was when you brought it up.

I'll call it what it is. Bullshit.

[Cocoa]

7. sounds bogus

[genius]

8. Consider this. Most flu shots contain mercury

Under the Homeland Security Act, we can no longer sue for poisonous shots.

[eriffle]

9. personally

I'd want Bush, Cheney, Kerry, and Edwards to have a flu shot. This January ain't going to be pretty no matter who wins, and the last thing we need is the President in bed with the flu.

[detroit]

12. Absolutely right!

If Bush and Cheney refuse to get the shots as a way of earning cheap political points, then they should be ashamed.

[txindy]

16. True

Junior would use that as his excuse to avoid the inauguration of President Kerry and I really, REALLY want to see him suffering through every moment of it. :evilgrin: I won't see Junior, at all, at first, but I'll study him on tape when it's all over. For, oh, so many years. ;)

[blondeatlast]

26. My thoughts exactly, and I'm in 3 risk groups. nt

[Generator]

31. Great photo, I guess somebody is fired up to vote!!!

By the way, lead poster, where do you get your talking points?

[Bridget Burke]

10. Where have you heard the whining?

Just wanted to know which locality I need to avoid.

[detroit]

22. It was on talk radio...

...and among some morons at work.

[MADem]

23. WHAT SHOW??

Maybe we can find a transcript and email those bozos.

[high density]

11. So?

Certain things need to happen when you're running for president of the United States.

[detroit]

13. Yep

VERY true

[txindy]

14. Flying from cold weather states to Florida and back, again

Repeatedly? I'd get a flu shot, but I doubt that Senator Kerry did. Although, honestly, it certainly wouldn't bother me if he did. In two weeks, I'd like to see a healthy President-Elect deciding on his Cabinet. Of course, when that happens, even if I do have the flu, I'll still be Snoopy-dancing all over town!

[BlueNomad]

15. Most cancer survivors I know

are considered high risk and advised t get a flu shot but I will let my medical friends come along to alleviate your fears. Where do you live where you "have heard people whining all day about Kerry's flu shot." And why would you care? With two weeks to election day, I doubt that if they are whining about that that they are seriously or remotely in his camp....just a thought....

[MsTryska]

17. Am I jsut really old-fashioned?

i still don't trust the flu shot.

i can't remember why i don't trust it, but i don't.

[MsTryska]

19. now i remember why i don't trust it.

it's bollox. :D

18. People have been whining all day? Where?

[Texas_Dem]

21. No where. This is an attempt to divert you away from the issues at hand.

[TheWebHead]

20. if either side gets a flu shot

they'll wait until after November 2nd... That's a pretty safe bet, imo.

[Arkana]

24. Jesus Christ...

Anything and everything to slime John Kerry at this point. Scary to see what happens when KKKarl runs on empty, isn't it?

[blondeatlast]

25. (Flameproof suit on) Bush should have one, too.

It is absolutely the height of irresponsibility for the President of the United States not to have a flu shot.

This is a national security issue and demonstrates how badly they just don't "get it."

[juajen]

29. I agree with you

I think everyone on Capitol Hill should have a flu shot. We do not need a sick government; oh, excuse me, we have that already. Is there a shot for stupidity?

[bigtree]

27. When you post something like this it would help if you gave a link

Otherwise I have to call bullshit on this. Prove it or leave the tripe where you got it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. ***Ahem**** Here is a link on why Kerry SHOULD have gotten a flu shot.

Especially if he hopes to be a healthy president, which all should want him to be...correct?

snip-
In addition, the study showed that cancer survivors were less likely to receive recommended preventive care, such as:


Eye exams
Flu shots
Cholesterol screening
-snip

Right there for you to read. End of story.

[deadparrot]

33. Absolutely.

Cancer survivors need flu shots. Period.

[demokatgurrl]

30. Absolutely Kerry should get one-

when Bush said he wasn't going to, I yelled at the TV that he was irresponsible. Despite the fact that he is a total fuckup, he IS supposedly running this country. With all the vacation time he takes, we don't need him having sick days too.

Kerry has to be healthy enough to complete the campaign and deal with all the crap that is going to happen after November 2. He has to be healthyl He should get a flu shot.

[Pump Man]

32. The point would be moot. If BUSH and team done their job!

They could not keep AMERICA safe Small task make sure
everybody had a chance to get flu shot

[ClassWarrior]

34. It matters not whether he did or not.

It is pure Rove. Whispering campaign... The elitist getting special priveleges before "real" Americans... Despicable. Make up a lie and make it go viral. We NEED to get better at this folks, if only to shove it down the throats of fucks like Rove.

ON EDIT: By talking about this, we're Rove's bitches. Drop it like a chunk of uranium.

24.

[Stephanie]

35. It's because Bush lied and said he wasn't going to get one.

But you know he DID.

[ClassWarrior]

36. All the more reason for Rover to lie and say Kerry did.
