Cheney's Flu shot, he is unfit for the Presidency
The press is making all sorts of shit out of the fact that Kerry bad mouthed Cheney for getting a flu shot, the repukes are shooting back un fair because of his four heart surgeries he is in the category of HIGH RISK. Anyone in the high rish category should not be one heart beat away from the presidency. The Dems should make a point of the fact that it is not he got the shot, it is the reason he got the shot. He is unfit for command.

1. Indeed
Cheney have four heart surgeries, that is NOT good sign. He should have resign and enjoy the 'lesbian' media he created.

2. not sure about this
I think there's a risk that you'd piss off some seniors by attacking Cheney on health. Everyone already knows his history..they knew in 2000. And with Bill Clinton being advised to get a shot, why open up this can of worms. It isn't going to change anyone's mind about Cheney or Bush. The K/E team needs to stay focused and not get sidetracked. IMHO.

3. I personally
think it is probably a very good idea for someone who is elderly and has had FOUR heart attacks to get the flu shot.

But if you think we can get any traction with it--I say go for it!!!

4. You obviously don't have congestiv heart failure
I do and I think you should look for some facts before you open your mouth on this issue again.

6. I was about to say...
Much as I despise Cheney; this is a thoroughly uninformed and narrow-minded view.

5. I've had several heart surgeries,and look at Bill Clinton.
One can make a 100% recovery from such surgery, often returning to BETTER health (due to lifestyle and food habit changes) than one was before the surgery. I am enormously healthier after such a scare than I was previous to it, because I've changed my ways.

I despise Cheney, possibly more than Bunnypants, but your view is simply uninformed.

7. Besides; as I heard it, it was someone in the Kerry campaign, not Kerry
himself, who said it, and of even that I have my doubts.

If you ask me, and even though you didn't, I'll tell you:

John Kerry should have a flu shot.
John Edwards should have a flu shot.

Both may be in the White House during the peak of flu season.

George W. shoudl have a flu shot.
Cheney You should have a flu shot.

They are the nation's leaders, like it or not.

THIS IS NOTHING LESS THAN A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE, and it shows how out-of-touch the current administration is.

AND I AM IN TWO RISK CATEGORIES.
