More violence against hecklers. In Colorado.
Edited on Tue Sep-14-04 11:04 AM by El Supremo
(Bush) was interrupted several times by hecklers, including one who yelled “You lied!” while he waved a sign protesting the war in Iraq. Bystanders ripped away the sign and wrestled the man off his perch on a railing.

1. I have just lost all respect for John Elway. That is really sad because
I have always been a big fan of his. What a bummer!

8. I know what you mean
did you know he smokes a pack a day? That he loves Bush and wants to have his children? He's rich, so he must have gotten a HUGE tax cut.

Besides, Plummer's not half bad, and he runs like an athlete, not like a broken shopping cart (like Elway)

Feel better?

2. The ending of that story is powerful!
Fitz-Gerald said many drugs seniors need are not on a draft list of medicines that Medicare will cover. She said 30 tablets of Prevacid, a heartburn drug widely prescribed for seniors, cost $138 in Colorado but only $44.27 in Canada.

Fitz-Gerald said Bush's health plans have left 772,000 Coloradans without health insurance. She said Kerry is focusing on plans that could be put in place quickly, such as tax credits and prescription drug options, before focusing on broader reforms.

An elderly resident at the Villa Manor Care Center said she is not happy with increased Medicare costs and her inability to buy cheaper drugs from Canada, and blames Bush.

"Don't say his name to me. The cost of my medication is too high and it's all his fault. I wouldn't walk across the street to see him," said Gennevieve Schneider, an 84-year-old retired grocery worker.
