The face of a Kerry Voter- and a lot of her relatives, I hope...

Long, chilly wait for flu shots
Wrapped in a blanket at 7 a.m. yesterday, ____________, 64, of Bethel Park waits in line for a flu shot at the Allegheny County Health Department in Oakland. She arrived at 4:50 a.m.

What a corporate crime to allow this look of fear. The pharmaceuticals can make enough Viagra, but not life saving drugs- because of fear of lawsuits?????

1. Let's look at what has happened on Bush's watch
1. 9/11
2. Massive outsourcing
3. Widening gap between rich and poor
4. Flu vaccine fiasco

I'm not mentioning the Iraq war, because Bush intentionally started it, while the ones listed above happened because of neglect of duty or just plain disinterest in doing anything about it.

How can anyone think that Bush is a competant leader?

2. Not fear of lawsuits... fear of low profits.

4. The evil trial lawyers are what * cited in the debate
We know the real reasons, though. More drug profits= more money for the GOP= more drug profits = ... you know the rest.

3. Drug co's will make more money selling cough syrups, nasal sprays, aspirin
etc that people will have to take to treat the flu than they would have made from the vaccine.

I'm sure that's part of what this is all about.
