DAVID KIRBY: SEN. McCAIN WATCH OUT FOR INCOMING!

David Kirby writes in Huffington Post:

It was with some amazement that I read about your comments, made tonight while campaigning in Texas, about a possible link between mercury in vaccines and autism.

According to Jake Tapper at ABC News, a Texas mother of a child with autism asked you about the Federal Court document, first reported on Huffington Post last Monday, in which Justice Department officials conceded that vaccines had aggravated one child's underlying medical condition, resulting in a diagnosis of autism.

Your courage -- some would (and will) call it lunacy, or at best political suicide -- to step into this quagmire, while running for President, no less, is an inspiration and comfort to those of us who continue to ask such discomfiting questions in the public realm.

I hope that in the end, we will have the courage and lack of empathy to take legal action against the autism deniers.

Just because McCain made that comment does not mean he would be the best candidate to support the health issues we care about. I ask you to consider looking at Ron Paul. He is the only candidate that is for health freedom. He is completely against forced vaccination by the government. He is for giving us control back on what medicines and supplements we put in our bodies without government control.

From his website:
http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/health-freedom/

"Americans are justifiably concerned over the government’s escalating intervention into their freedom to choose what they eat and how they take care of their health.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in order to comply with standards dictated by supra-national organizations such as the UN‘s World Food Code (CODEX), NAFTA, and CAFTA, has been assuming greater control over nutrients, vitamins and natural health care providers to restrict your right to choose the manner in which you manage your health and nutritional needs.

I have been the national leader in preserving Health Freedom.

I have introduced the Health Freedom Protection Act, HR 2117, to ensure Americans can receive truthful health information about supplements and natural remedies.

I support the Access to Medical Treatment Act, H.R. 2717, which expands the ability of Americans to use alternative medicine and new treatments.

I oppose legislation that increases the FDA‘s legal powers. FDA has consistently failed to protect the public from dangerous drugs, genetically modified foods, dangerous pesticides and other chemicals in the food supply. Meanwhile they waste public funds attacking safe, healthy foods and dietary supplements.

I also opposed the Homeland Security Bill, H.R. 5005, which, in section 304, authorizes the forced vaccination of American citizens against small pox. The government should never have the power to require immunizations or vaccinations."

And yes....I think he has a chance to win..of course not if you listen to the mainstream media..but YOU dear readers of this blog should know how much they LIE to our faces!!!! And even if he does not win.. his revolution of ideas is growing like wildfire and others will take up the banner for FREEDOM.

I saw Senator Clinton respond to a question about autism asked by a parent in a town hall meeting. Senator Clinton said that there has clearly been a huge increase in autism, that it is of tremendous concern, and that we urgently need to investigate all possible causes including environmental.

I was listening to a Progressive talk show the other day when Hillary was the topic. They mentioned that in Iowa an autism mom had told Hillary at a town meeting that an agency had "mistakingly" given them $39,000 in benefits and demanded that she pay it back, which is impossible for a single mom with a part time job. Hillary asked one of her staffers to follow up on it and they were able to straighten it out so she did not have to pay it back.

The commentor asked "Why would Hillary not want to use this example publicly to show her compassionate side?"

My guess is that the last thing Hillary wanted to do was make autism a campaign issue. Much too complicated for her, and I guess her pharma sugar daddies would not want it either. I would guess that is what Obama's aide with an autistic child is telling him as well - "you don't want to go there". This is unfortunate, and I seriously doubt you will hear ANYTHIHNG from them about autism, unless the Press get some gonads and pushes it, but I figure that "aint-a-gonna-hap-in".

Although I can not support a candidate so influenced by the military industrial complex, I have always had a lot of respect for Senator McCain and am very impressed with his courage. Too bad he is so pro war.

If I had any doubt about who I was voting for it is gone now.
McCain has my vote.

[Jeanne]

I am excited to see if Hil and Obama respond in any way to this - or if some mom or dad asks the same question of them, what they will say. And as I said in another comment last night, duck and roll Johnny! You're my hero!

[Cindy Stolten]

Senator McCain will be in need of much support! From recent articles it looks like Pharma is putting their bets on the opposing side. This sure will get interesting.
