Neither guy seemed to be able to truthfully say why they opposed/ supported about half the positions questioned.

If Dubya has actually held off for 3.8 years on importing Canadian drugs because he's worried that they might turn out to be made in Thailand instead, I can whistle "O Canada" out of my ass.

The argument he attempted he screwed up. If he wanted to scare folks off the idea he could have said that half the drugs circulating in the third world are blackmarket fakes, many useless but benign but a scary amount stuff like drain cleaner labeled as AIDS meds. If he could have drawn the line between that and reimportation, he might have gained some points, albeit on a lie... but he got halfway there and quit. That just made him look stupid. ER.

Reimportation does nothing to solve the high COST of drugs. Canadian drugs are the same damn drugs we have here. You guys refuse to pay full price, like many countries with nationalized healthcare, which drives the price up down here. Enterprising folks already mail-order their prescriptions from Canada. The debate here is whether the Government will re-import. That's just retarded. If we want to fix the price of drugs for Americans, we can do that just like any other country.

Do we have candidates that can explain this? No. I'm not even sure if they understand the very basics of what they're debating half the time.
