Kerry: Bush's position on importing cheaper drugs wavering

[Feanorcurufinwe]

John Kerry said Thursday that he had no doubts about letting Americans import prescription drugs from Canada, but he said President Bush didn't seem so sure. The Democratic presidential nominee, speaking to voters gathered for a discussion about his health insurance plan to cut premiums for families, said Bush was wavering in his position on the importation of cheaper drugs -- just as the GOP was making "flip-flop" allegations against Kerry.

"He can't even make up his mind about importing drugs from Canada. Not only has he not made up his mind, but President Bush opposed our efforts," Kerry told more than 100 people gathered at the Tautfest family's yellow colonial home. "Now just the other day the president began to waver on this. Do you think he's reading the polls?"

Kerry said Bush hasn't done enough to contain the rising cost of health care, telling the International Association of Fire Fighters convention in Boston earlier Thursday that people are being hired for part-time and temporary jobs that often don't include health insurance.

"We're losing good jobs and replacing them with ones that just don't pay the bills," he told the firefighters. "When I'm president, America will stop being the only advanced country that doesn't understand that health care is not a privilege for the elected or the connected or the wealthy but a right for all Americans."

slimy bastard.

He knows there's blood in the water on this one.

But no matter - we already know his position - he can't go back now.

Can't quite tell.
