    Oh, please.

    Clinton policy has NOTHING to do with backing off on NATO progress in east Europe. And, why would Russia be interested in having Bill C back in the White House - even just as husband of the president???

    The idea that sources of campaign opposition research would necessarily be released to the public is especially rich. Politicians may release source information for specific points they release to the public, but it doesn't serve them to state what or how research was done.

    Point is that it's a personal choice. If you chose to get one good for you and if you chose not to great also it doesn't make a person a freak for not getting one. Why would I or anyone in my family get a flu shot if we don't need it.

    That's fair enough, thanks. I didn't claim you were a freak for not getting the shot. If one doesn't want the flu shot for themselves perhaps another reason to get it is to try and help protect others from flu, especially if we have high risk people in our lives, children, our elders and those with weaker immune systems. Like you said though, it's your choice and I get that....

    this was a Christian conservative poster that posted on this very board, both sides have their fanatics

    http://dailycaller.com/2015/07/24/l...igned-up-on-tea-party-page-and-quoted-hitler/

    "And in another, Houser cheered Muslim extremists for defending their religion.

    “Yes it’s true, Muslims are alone in shutting down liberals that mock their God. They have my complete Christian respect.”"

    Since the CDC states the current flu shot is only 10% effective (which is equivalent to zero when placebo effects and other issues are taken into account), almost anything will work as well as a flu shot.

    Reverend Wright was Obama's spiritual adviser.

    Them Jews aren't going to let (Obama) talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office. ...They will not let him talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is.

    Jeremiah Wright

    Your thoughts?

    The time to feel a shame is far in the past and it does not even cover just the people who voted for him but the rest of us who have somehow allow the Republic to come to the point that this fool could become President.

    my thoughts is there are many religious fanatics in the world, did the guy at palin's church run a witch out of town

    a religious fanatic is a religious fanatic regardless of the party they belong too

    Cherry picking. Generally it is 40-60% effective. Some years they get it wrong.

    Beyond that, the placebo effect has more healing power than God and prayer. ;)

    However, if you want to avoid the flu, boost your immune system. Eat healthy foods. Eat the super foods! Cut the carbs and stop eating sugar. Lose weight. Exercise.

    I would bet this provides more immunity than a flu shot or prayer. When I went low carb and started exercising [intense exercise], I stopped getting sick. I've been sick once in over 6 years and that was because I was working 100-hour weeks filled with high stress. I used to get the flu or a bad cold every year - often twice. My ex was medical worker so she brought home anything going around.

    I've had intimate contact with women who were coming down with something, and surely contagious, and still didn't get sick. I didn't do this on purpose but it happens when you date a lot.

    The epitome of hypocrisy and phones expression of religion. Also the politicalization of religion.

    Obama's Spiritual Adviser was Jeremiah Wright.

    "Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain't! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty."
    ~Reverend Jeremiah Wright

    Your thoughts on Reverent Wright's statement?

    Did you read the opening post? This is about President's nutjobs for advice on spiritual matters:

    "(Jesus') enemies had their opinion about Him," Wright wrote in a eulogy of the late scholar Asa Hilliard in the November/December 2007 issue. "The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."

    if you want to appeal to evangelical fruitbats, you set up an evangelical advisory board and appoint a few.

    if you want to appeal to eco-communists, you invent a position for "Green Czar" and appoint a communist.

    this politics stuff isn't that hard.

    No. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton were US President's in the real world, even if your "reality" doesn't recognize that. This post-modern crap you're huffing, will really rot your brain.

    Are you sure that you are in the right thread or that maybe you are the huffer?

    Yet, Bill got a LOT of money for speeches in Russia.

    Still waiting for that absolute proof you say exists.
