THE NEW BUSH ATTACK ADS..... There's a new wave of BC04 attack ads based on the New York Times Magazine article about Kerry's foreign policy, which contained this controversial quote: ''You know, when your buildings are bombed and 3,000 people get killed, and airplanes are hijacked, and a nation is terrorized the way we were, and people continue to plot to do you injury, that's an act of war, and it's serious business." We've obtained the script: Voice Over: First, Kerry said he wanted to protect America. . . Now John Kerry says he wants "buildings. . . bombed," the "nation. . . terrorized" and he will "continue to plot to do you injury." John Kerry says terrorism is his "business." Terrorism… a business? How can Kerry protect the country when he wants to kill us all? President Bush: I’m George W. Bush and I approve this message. wonkette.com

Read it and learn something. Ignore and remain ignorant. Petey, have you ever thought of finding a good 12-step program for smug-aholics? The pharmaceutical industry is one of the sleaziest businesses in the world. Only some right-wing b.s. outfit like the Cato institute would have the audacity to say "the only reason a company can sell a drug for $20 in Germany is because it's sold for $100 in America". The only reason it's sold for $100 in America is because shameless politicians beholden to their huge campaign contributions let it happen. The lying pill pushers spend more money on marketing and lobbyists and political grease than they do on R&D. They also don't tell you how much of their so-called research is actually government-financed. Ever wonder why the pill peddlers never develop a pill to cure anything? Why would they want to cure you if you would then stop buying pills? They have two goals... don't kill 'em and don't cure 'em. Either one is bad for them because you would then stop buying pills. Ever wonder why there is no R&D from these paragons of virtue for a horrible affliction like "Lou Gehrig's disease"? It is considered to be a disease with a possibility of control rather than the current 100% mortality. Well, Big Pharma has a problem there. Only 30,000 afflicted in this country so the potential pill traffic is too limited to get the attention of the pill peddlers. If we could get the count up to maybe 100K, they might consider it. Highest-margin business in the country and with enough politicians in their pocket, that is where they intend to stay.
