I thought Bush never paid any attention to polls.



HUDSON, Wisconsin (CNN) -- With political pressure mounting to allow imports of cheaper prescription drugs from Canada and other countries, President Bush appeared to move closer to supporting the idea Wednesday -- but only if the safety of the drugs could be assured.

3. His FDA chief said Al Qaeda could poison the drugs
so they aren't safe!

Can you believe this f'ing morons. That should make it's way into an ad about trying to scare the American people.

4. ummmm
Aren't the drugs manufactured and packaged here in the US? I fail to see how re-importing them could be seen as unsafe.

Do they think the Canadians are going to open the packaged drugs so Al Qaeda can drop some cyanide in?

This is a stupid argument...
