2. Thanks! I love it that the first story I saw was about why the Bush*

(mis)administration is partly reponsible for the flu vaccine shortage. We really need to talk this up. Seniors and others who need the vaccine are mad as hell about this SNAFU and SENIORS VOTE!!!

3. It is hard when people take things on faith and not reason.
By the way if your getting this vaccine from live animal places it is pretty bad. I knew someone who used to work at a place like that. Monkeys and pure breed beagles. I bet these places are mostly overseas. This one I knew about was right out side of DC but that was many years ago.

4. A hard core rightie
won't even acknowledge that information. They refuse to process it. It's outside of their comfort zone. It's probably the exact opposite of what they've been told.

5. The key is demonstrating why we're right and they're wrong with facts

The point is letting them know that they're depending on blind partisanship to support the Chimp despite the facts, whatever they are.

Who knows, you may plant a seed of doubt that would grow into a mighty Sequoia of truth that will cause them to eventually wake the fuck up.
