Flu vaccine shortage a ploy to reduce voter turnout.
Who will want to go stand in line with a bunch of strangers after not having gotten their flu vaccine?

I mean, when the hell was the last time the United States had a 2/3 FLU VACCINE SHORTFALL, for Christ's f*ing sake?!

4. Who gets hit worse with the flu? The North-east and Midwest.
Who do those people vote for?

3. "Who will want to go stand in line...after not gotten their flu vaccine"?
Me. Please get a grip on reality. NOT EVERYTHING IS A CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!!!! I blame bush administration for this fiasco, but it sure as hell ain't a conspiracy. It's just arrogance or payment to the huge money drug companies. Or both.

5. You don't believe the Powers That Be are capable of thinking like that?
If so, then I'm not the one who has lost his grip on reality.

6. Who catches flu in the first week of November?
Hardly anyone. Anyone that paranoid has probably already fallen for the 'terror' message of Bush and Cheney. It would probably hurt the Republicans more than the Democrats.

7. I don't know, but we should be canvassing the shot lines.
People are stuck there for hours. We could certainly sway some independents and Repubs during that time.
