Ben Cardin (D) promises cancer cure (MD Senate race)
The Baltimore Sun ^ | August 15, 2006 | Doug Donovan

Posted on 08/15/2006 5:50:01 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

With a month to go before primary voters head to the polls to choose Senate nominees, Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin kicked off yesterday a weeklong effort to highlight his congressional record and vision on health care by making the mother of all campaign promises - to cure cancer.

Cardin, a Democrat from Baltimore County, gathered with cancer survivors and doctors in Lutherville to detail his efforts to expand cancer screening and his plans to fight the disease.

"We are going to lick cancer by 2015," Cardin told a group of 15 people at the HopeWell Cancer Support Center on Falls Road.

Al Gore redux?

No, Gore lied about what he had done. This guy lies about what he will do. A subtle, but significant difference.

There's a third candidate, Josh Rales, who's spending a mountain of his own money. Hopefully, he can make the other two look bad (not that they need much help).

Al Gore reflux: heartburn caused by seeing or hearing Al Gore.

The Silky Pony stated that Christopher Reeve would have walked again if only he had survived to see John Kerry elected president, so this is nothing new for this crew.

And of course I'd bet that not one "journalist"; hell I can't use that word in reference to them anymore, not one propagandist asked how he was going to accomplish that?

I just love how everything the socialists say is gospel but everything from a conservative is "alleged".

I agree. The Far Left eventually hopes to use the promise of stem cell research to justify abortion on demand.

Why is this news? Edward was going to make Christopher Reeve Walk again. Surely the next step was to cure cancer. The Dems must be running on the healing platform.

His opponent is Kweisi Mfume

I saw him on celebrity Jeopardy. Man, the guy is dumb as a box of rocks. I was beginning to wonder if he knew there were three branches of government. I'm talking barely literate folks. Softball questions sailed by him like they were big league fastballs.

"Democrats are the new Jimmy Swaggart"

Indeed they are, and I can only hope the conservative alternative media pounces on it.

Didn't they first say they were going to cure aids?

Hey, we can end world jihad and cut our nuclear stockpile in half within 100 days!!

Could we do it in the 1st 100 minutes of the Clear Case Aministration instead of waiting for it?

"I think they should elect me. I promise to end world hunger by 2009."

Too late. World hunger is so 2004. Now it is world obesity. Apparently survival of the fattest is in and those little hungry children were eaten by faster running people.

Anyone who claims that they are going to lick cancer by the year 2015 clearly has no comprehension of what they are up against.

I hope you are right but don’t underestimate Kweisi. Whether you agree with him or not, he is an eloquent orator.

I never thought it was possible for a political party to produce so many empty promises.

I noticed this article, and certainly hope the Dem candidate can deliver, but well, the farm is not on the betting tables. Pity. A cancer cure at the annointed date, might be just what the doctor ordered for me.
