Lou Dobbs Poll Tonight - Its A Hoot!

Is it ironic that U.S. pharmaceutical companies outsource jobs and research and development while Americans are not permitted to buy imported drugs?

Yes 97%

No 3%

3. And, moreover
Does it make you angry to know that these companies recieve taxpayer money for this research and development (which is outsourced) and still are considered to be doing a great service for the public?

4. How about production?
How many drugs are produced off shore? It's ok for drug companies to manufacture offshore and import to boost their profits, but it is not ok for US citizens to import drugs to try to save some money?

This should be a sledge hammer in the hands of the Democrats this year.

5. It's not only IRONIC it's incomprehensible and we should do something . .
about it right now. We should be contacting our congressmen and senators and ask them why they are allowing this to happen? Especially our Republican party delegates.

This is a campaign issue and we need to try to do something about this, not just let it be a sound bite and never hear anymore about it.

Anyone agree?

6. Earlier I heard Lou question Dana Bash
about the latest scurilous ad in which they portray Kerry with the hijackers etc. He questioned the validity of it and the one of Kerry wind surfing in view of all the lives that have been lost. I hope Kerry kicks ass tomorrow night. BIG TIME!
