• The Vaccine, Money, Power and Big Pharma

  [Read the article: About that HPV vaccine...]
  [Read more letters about this article: Here]

  As usual Bush and the radical religious right wing fundies have politicised this issue and contaminated/muddied the waters.

  Don't these people ever give up spreading their agenda of hate toward everyone who does not agree with them?

  Then there is the Bush/Repub sell out to Big Pharma, price too high and making this vaccine mandatory are extremely troublesome aspects of this issue.

  This is clearly an issue where parents should be the ones to make the decision regarding their daughters.

  As usual, there are so many aspects of this vaccine that are questionable/controversial and the Bushie radical right wing religious extremists are forcing their own personal agenda on everyone else.

  They should keep their religious views to themselves. Let everyone have the free will that God gave us to use it to make the best decisions for the children given to us by God into the care of their own parents.

  It has always been my contention that the radical religious right winger fundies including the Catholic Church, my church, really only cares about children before they are born and totally forgets about them after their birth.

  They could disprove my contention if they fought for the safety and security of women and children by demanding that the Bushies restore that law that gave additional protections to women and children which was enacted by the Clinton admin and which the Bushies got rid of.

  Women and children are the most helpless members of our society and need all the protections the law can give them. There is something terribly sick about Bush/ the Republican party and the fundies.

  The Catholic Church and for that matter the Baptists should be demanding that the Bush/Repubs enact laws that protect families, family values, education and health care. Those family values organizations that purport to stand up for family values are a bunch of phonies and liars who exist only to enrich themselves and keep Republicans in power.

  Instead those Republican groups constantly clamor for small government which is their code for taking away services such as education and health care for children and women. But they never use the concept of 'small government' to stop providing subsidies and welfare for corporations and their rich friends.

  They spend trillions of taxpayer dollars to fight a war they concocted (while bin Laden and his crew still walk free) but constantly reduce funds that would benefit families.

  When is the Catholic Church, my church, going to wake up and find that they are being used and corrupted at the same time by the sociopaths (con men) who have total domination and control over America.

  Wake up Catholics, the pope never will because he has an agenda that is very similar to that of the Bushie neocons, ie. domination and control, wealth and power. Greed is the single greatest force in their thinking.

  Protect women and children, who have the least power in our society and therefore are the most helpless. Remember women and children do not control the money, no money equals no power.

• Bumiller Killed Journalism?

  Re: Elisabeth Bumiller

  What a sychophant and kiss ass. She is from Cincinnati, Ohio and that explains a lot. That area of Ohio is full of kiss ass, blind, lock step, knee jerk, 'Stepford' Repubs who never think outside the box, as most Repubs don't. Bush and Rove have dragged the entire Repub party down to their level of stupidity, including some members of my family.

  She is a perfect example of the failures of the NYT and the entire MSM. They have rendered themselves irrelevant, they are useless as news sources. Fox is useless because of their acts of commission (blind stupid editorializing and complete lack of reporting) and the remainder of the MSM is useless by it's acts of ommission (shallow reporting on just so many non-issues).

  No wonder the blogosphere is overtaking and in so many ways outpacing the MSM. Do 'we the people' really need Elisabeth Bumiller to insult our intelligence, Bush/ Rove /the Repubs/ dummies like Sen. Inhofe/ high level military personnel do it everyday. When we get so much stupidity and intelligence insulting verbiage from government dummies we certainly don't need even more from Bumiller, the NYT and all the MSM.

  The entire MSM has been dumbed down by Rove/Bush. The entire MSM is killing itself.

  Long live the blogosphere and other alternative media.

  No journalism equals no democracy. No 'Checks and Balances equals no democracy which equals no America.

  Journalism in America is dead and Bumiller helped kill it!
