They are violently opposed to any type of single-payer system or other nationalized system the Democrats might propose. So, the Republican Party in conjunction with the major pharmaceutical and medical insurance companies has developed an injection which increases the likelihood that the person receiving it will vote Republican. Have you ever wondered why they always target the elderly and the ill for flu shots? It is because this group would likely be most interested in some alternative to the bloated medical system we have now. The Republicans scare the crap out of these folks and get them all lining up for 'flu shots' which will insure continued domination by the Republican Party. Look at the statistics... since flu shots became routine, how many years of Republican presidencies have we had compare to years of Democrat presidencies? No contest. The Republicans have it. I am completely shocked that the media has not noticed this and done an investigation. ;-) But then again, I suppose I could be wrong...
