They can keep that shit for themselves. There's no way they can make this a "mandatory" vaccination. It MIGHT be a good idea for a percentage of the population, but there's no way in hell I'm dragging my mid-pubescent child into some doctor's office based on the evidence thus far.
MANDATORY innoculations..? Against what..? I wouldn't trust the government any further than I can spit under any circumstances. A vaccine..? Isn't that what Thalidomide was..?
Corporations are in it for the money. Who's making money off of Texas' "mandatory" innoculations..? Names, dates and figures, please.
Gossip..? Are you joking..? What is this, People magazine..?
Don't you mean "Israeli genocide"? It's ok, they're Israelis. We MUST support them. No more difficult questions! Our path is clear! We will obey Israel! On to Tehran!
I feel SO much happier now that I'm a productive member of the hive! Thinking is not doubleplusgood!
Thank God the Democrats haven't done jack fucking shit to get the US out of Iraq yet!
Even mentally handicapped little children knew that any hot air being blown up our rear ends by Bush regarding Afghanistan was precisely that: hot air.
Are you stupid? Women's rights? In Afghanistan..?? Are you on drugs..? Afghanistan is about oil and gas rights. Pipelines.
"The war against the Taliban was supposed to have liberated Afghan women" -- Jesus H. Christ, were you kicked in the head by a mule or something..? Put both oars in the water, you'll make better time that way. Sheesh(tm).
What the fuck are the Democrats thinking..??? How about IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS beginning TODAY..? Wait, before impeachment hearings, how about withdrawing ALL of our troops from Iraq?
Was it not clear that voters expected far more than a "non-binding resolution"?
Were a meteorite to strike a joint session of Congress I feel that few Americans would shed any tears over the alleged loss of our thoroughly corrupt and incompetent Federal government. States ought to secede from the Union. The Confederacy had the right idea.
No need for violent revolution. Just shun the Feds. Turn them into a USA version of Hong Kong (just without the manufacturing capabilities).
Anyone think the dollar can be revived given the staggering debt the USA carries..? It is impressive that Bush regularly puts another few hundred billion dollars on his tab to pay for the illegal invasion of Iraq. The oil isn't worth that much. Bush is insane.
Invoke the 25th Amendment if nothing else.
Why is Bush still in office..? Why have the Democrats not acted? His crimes are stark and numerous. Gonzales is a monstrosity.
Why is nothing happening? Does it have to come to an insurrection..? Can a fire be lit under Ms. Pelosi? Hello? Is this thing on? Can anyone hear me..?!?
No mention of the ONE MILLION cluster bombs dropped on Christian civilian population centers in southern Lebanon..?! AFTER the cease-fire was announced?
You haven't seen this JPG on salon.com:

Israeli pilots fired air-to-ground missiles THROUGH the red crosses on top of ambulances. Then denied it, of course. Then insisted it was an accident (perhaps they thought the ambulances were Egyptian horse carriers?). Thank God Mel Gibson proved to be so useful just at that moment! That story had legs, did it not?
"Israel's surge of despair"?! How do you figure THAT makes sense?
"The Jew cries out as he strikes you" -- Polish proverb
Maybe Tehran needs to revisit that decision tree for embarking on an expensive, long term, high risk atomic bomb program?
Drinking long and deeply of the Kool-Aid, I see. Iran is interested in nuclear POWER. You must be thinking of Israel, which has a nuclear WEAPONS program. And Iran is 100% within recognized international legal rights to pursue nuclear POWER. Look it up. It's no secret. First, put the Kool-Aid down. It'll do you good.
Iran makes money by exporting oil. The less oil used for power generation, the more oil there is to export. Israel does not export oil.
When Olmert slipped and APPEARED to give away Israel's open nuclear weapons secret, he endangered the endless US patrimony -- no foreign aid to nuclear powers who do not submit to inspections. How awkward! "But we're ISRAEL!" Olmert screamed.
Anyone going to dredge up the canard about "wiping Israel off the map"? Because the Internet (despised by Olmert, Bush and Bush's Poodle) makes it easy to find the translation. Quite a contrast between what the MSM (poodles themselves) puts forth as the truth and WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. "(Qods) will vanish from the page of history" in the same way the Soviet Union did.
And as far as "getting 9/11'd again" -- I'd look for an Israeli nuke to be touched off in the USA, meaning that all my fellow numbnuts NASCAR-watching inbred morons will happily surrender what rights they have left for the promised protection of Big Brother. Tell me that can't happen. Anyone notice the news blip about NYC scanning for radiological hot spots and noticing high levels of radiation from the Israeli Embassy? Just a coincidence, I'm sure...
Gee whiz, Mister -- didn't David Duke say that while he was riding in the back seat of a car driven by Mel Gibson..?
For your edification, here's a link to an extensive examination of the successfully propagated disinformation:

>The mistranslated "wiped off the map" quote attributed to Iran's President has been spread worldwide, repeated thousands of times in international media, and prompted the denouncements of numerous world leaders. Virtually every major and minor media outlet has published or broadcast this false statement to the masses. Big news agencies such as The Associated Press and Reuters refer to the misquote, literally, on an almost daily basis.
Put down the 20% of US foreign aid and back away.
