Americans, wake up!!! This man wants to be president!!!
John Kerry is now attacking Dick Cheney (who has a bad heart) for getting a flu shot!!! Kerry says this is wrong, and claims that it's do as we say, not as we do- but, Cheney never said he wasn't going to get a flu vaccine, and the president said that only those who are in certain categories should get it now (people like HEART PATIENTS like DICK CHENEY.)
One more piece of evidence that John Kerry and his lowdown campaign will do and say ANYTHING to get your vote.
This is just awful, and I am sick of it. There is no doubt in my mind- John Kerry is NOT a good person, and a man who would use attacks like these is not fit for any public office, let alone the highest office.
Also, a note to all Americans- if you fit into the category of needing a flu shot (if you're a heart patient, for example), do NOT get a flu shot. John Kerry won't allow the Vice President to get one, why would he allow you to get one? Do you not think he would be attacking everyone of you who need the shot if it was a political gain?

Kerry team slams reports VP Cheney had a flu shot
Wed Oct 20 2004 20:02:09 ET
Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign Wednesday slammed Vice President Dick Cheney, a heart patient, over reports he had a flu shot, despite a shortage of the vaccine.
The campaign complained that Treasury Secretary John Snow and Senate Majority leader Bill Frist also had jabs, despite Bush's advice that the young and healthy did not need to get an injection.
"Once again, the Bush administration proves that it is the 'do as we say, not as we do' White House," the campaign said in a statement issued in Pittsburgh where Kerry was campaigning.
"The very week that (health) secretary (Tommy) Thompson is telling Americans to keep calm, Dick Cheney, John Snow and Bill Frist are getting flu shots."
"It is unfortunate that the Bush administration failed to do the work necessary to ensure that all Americans, including those most at risk, had been able to get shots as well."
Cheney would fit into the government's definition of those most vulnerable to a looming influenza epidemic as he has a long history of heart disease.
Bush last week suggested in the final presidential debate that the young and healthy forgo the annual shot amid a shortage of vaccine that Kerry has blamed on the president's management of the health system.
