4. The straw that breaks the camel's back.
I think this could be the type of issue that really hits home with everyone. The United States of America cannot get enough flu vaccines for its people? What the fuck?

3. Yeah, shrubbie in the debate telling healthy young people to do their
patriotic duty by not getting a flu shot was a headscratcher fer sure. How are they going to dress up that pig?

5. There's not enough lipstick in the world for this one.
It's a blunder of gargantuan proportions.

6. The Problem Itself is Not Quite as Bad as the Fact That:
(1) the administration acted like they were caught by surprise (what was Tommy Thompson doing?)

(2) they shrugged,

(3) they tried to use the shortage for political purposes, and

(4) they did so by blaming liability laws.

Everything with this administration is political. No one is trying to run the country for the good of the people. And although it's not the biggest issue in the campaign, everyone can see it.

7. You're right, this one is right out in the open.
The richest country in the world cannot provide flu vaccines for its people. Sad.

8. Isn't it strange that all those country's with socialized medicine
have enough flu vaccine? I thought that those wonderful free markets were supposed to protect us from rationing.
We are going to get some shots from the French, will we call them freedom shots?
