4. All I know
is that the new medicare drug program will cost more, because they were not required to get the lowest bidder

5. Did you see 60-Minutes tonight on that?
Great. Made the FDA look like an extension of Big Pharma lobby (which it, of course, is!).

7. Saw it, FDA is front for the drug industry.
How in God's name could the FDA say that imported drugs, made in the USA!!! then repackaged back to us at 50% less the cost, (same drugs mind you) be less safe? The FDA looks so corrupt on this that even Trent Lott is back peddling saying that he will now support it. Fucking bastards.

8. OMG, Drudge?
A negative story about REPUBLICANS?! It can't be. There must be a reason for this.

10. If this is true, the media should SAVAGE Bush.
What little credibility they have left is gone in a puff of smoke. Not even the sleeping American people will buy this one.

11. Journalists or Seniors?
Sorry, I won't give Matt Sewer Sludge any traffic. The sorry sob still thinks that the Kerry Affair story is real and the "truth" will come out soon....as I heard while channel surfing AM last week...

Me wonders if this is the same ad that the Dems went after...the GAO is investigating....that CBS pulled? Don't know???

I hope it is. The phony Medicare Bill is a key factor in the re-select Bush* 2004 campaign.
