Do you think the President is going to get a flu shot? I could see him getting worn down on the campaign trail, but I hope he opts out of getting one... He's in good enough health, right?

I'm just a simple bumpkin and we don't get flu shots much around here. (Ain't that right Maw?)

The President said in a debate that he not get a flu shot. Don't recall if Kerry made a similar pledge.

If Kerry got a flu shot, he'd have it written up so he'd get a Purple Heart.

You mean Kerry might have to go to the Capitol to get his shot?

He'll need this: www.mapquest.com

Theresa is 65 so she could get a flu shot. dufus should defer his to someone who really needs it. Dufus never shows up anyway.

What's with this flu shot hysteria? When did this become another "necessity" the Rats are going to provide me with.

That figures. They get everything at a cost to us. I say not only oust these losers; but put them behind bars.

President Bush explicitly stated during the debates that he would not be getting a flu shot. I believe he also indicated that anyone between the ages of 2 and 62 who was in good health shouldn't need a flu shot either.

I'm decades away from 62 but needed a flu shot due to health issues (cancer, pneumonia, pleurisy and diabetes)...and I had relatively little trouble getting a shot at a nearby location. Only had to wait in line for two hours, so the wife and I played a few dice games and chatted with our neighbors in line. : )

What's with this flu shot hysteria?

It's a mess exclusively created by the Democrats, but one they want to try to blame Bush for. Hillary tried her socialized medicine routine with flu shots and ambulance-chasers like John Edwards filed countless frivolous lawsuits against flu shot makers to the point that all but two companies bailed on the business. Then one failed a government inspection in Great Britain and *boom* -- a Leftist-inspired "crisis" right before the Election.

And now Kerry/Edwards and Shrillary are seeking to blame it on Bush. Ain't that convenient? Blah.

The long lines of people waiting for their 'flu shots are being shown on Australian TV news - it looks as if everyone in the US is about to be hit by some terrible contagion. I guess the fear tactics are working, half of the people in the US have been convinced the 'flu is more dangerous than terrorism.

Thanks for asking that question - I was wondering the same thing.

I would urge everyone NOT to get the flu shot this year...ESPECIALLY President Bush.

This is how Saddam got much of his chemical WMD out of Iraq...by selling it diluted to the French & other fraudsters as 'flu vaccine'. This is why it had to be removed from the supply pipeline...but no one wants to panic us or frighten the elderly who count on these shots.

Believe it or not, the annual death toll in the U.S. due to flu was around 36,000 last year. It will be interesting to see if that DROPS substantially this year with the restricted supply of 'flu vaccine'...

What's a flu shot, and when did access to one become a part of the Bill of Rights?

The irony in this October surprise is: The elderly who are being shown as standing in lines for hours, will get their flu shots, and then march straight in to vote for President Bush. Why? They'll survive the flu, and then wish to survive the terrorists. Were I an Australian? I'd be wigging out trying to get American Pharmaceutical companies to open up in MY country. :) I'll wager dollars to donuts... just a hunch, more and more vaccines ARE going to be showing up.

Always be of good cheer!

I think it replaced the Second Amendment. Let me check with Tom Daschle to be sure...
