" Once again the lack of experience in life is showing with Obama-----------I am alive today as are many people because a doctor did a tonsillectomy and saved our lives stopping the infection that was poisioning our systems. I remember feeling so energetic within a few months of having the tonsils out---a new kid, jumping rope, skating doing everything the other kids did which I couldn't before. " What is amazing to me is that when it comes to abortion it is all about privacy and its between a woman and her doctor and we should not be interfering in that relationship, etc. Now he thinks he is better qualified than your doctor to decide whether you need a tonsilectomy. The hypocrisy is truly unbelievable. lj

Even as he assumes a leading role in the debate, Mr. Dodd has received controversial support for his re-election campaign by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA, the industry’s lobbying arm. That came at a time when he was trying to distance himself from powerful special interest groups, alliances some of his Republican rivals say he made after 28 years in Washington. Despite a barrage of television commercials asserting that Mr. Dodd is tough on these same lobbyists, a Quinnipiac University poll last week showed that 55 percent of Connecticut voters say Mr. Dodd is not "honest and trustworthy.” Mr. Dodd has raised more than $550,000 from drug company representatives over his career, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Now as he prepares for surgery, Mr. Dodd will duck out of the limelight for a convalescence that will likely only sideline him “for a few weeks,” the aide said. According to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, the disease affects one in six men and is the most common non-skin cancer in America in the United States. Survivors in the past decade include Massachusetts senator John Kerry, former New York City mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, Los Angeles Dodgers (and former Yankees) manager Joe Torre and Jim Calhoun, the men’s basketball coach at the University of Connecticut.
