"Rudy Giuliani's latest radio ad, which began airing in New Hampshire this week, draws a stark picture for anyone diagnosed with prostate cancer in England. "I had prostate cancer, five, six years ago," the Republican presidential candidate says in the ad. "My chance of surviving prostate cancer, and thank God I was cured of it, in the United States, 82 percent. My chances of surviving prostate cancer in England, only 44 percent under socialized medicine.”
Giuliani is wrong about that. Fortunately for the English, their chances of surviving prostate cancer are far better than Giuliani claims: The actual five-year survival rate is 74.4 percent, according to the United Kingdom's Office of National Statistics. Even those in the U.S. have a better chance than what Giuliani states..."
Thoughts?

He's also ran with the Canadians crossing the border to pay for medical care in the US due to the fact they have to wait YEARS for an appointment and are lying in the streets dying. Here's the next question: Does Rudy have brown eyes? Cause he soon will if he doesn't because he is so full of it, he's about to run over.

The ignorance of this man is incredible. Does he make up this nonsense as he goes along? Even George Bush during his campaign didn't resort to fabrication so blatantly - at least he waited until he was in office for that. Well. Xmas is coming Rudy, looks as if you are enjoying fantasyland as much as your namesake, Rudolf Rednose Reindeer.

That's all he's got is spin.
Like Joe Biden said: A noun, a verb and 9/11. The most unqualified person running for president since George W Bush.
And now he lies!

82 is still better than 74
Anyway I was just reading about how the UK sent a man away from a health care office as they would not treat his lung cancer because he smoked all of his life. Ironically the UK does not have a death penalty for hardened rapists and murderers...........but you sent a good old man home to die because he lights up on his breaks at work.
I guess this is liberal "compassion" for the week.

Hmm, Spin Doctors & Their Doctors.
#1 cause of Death: going to Doctors.
No dis-comfort in "the God of all comfort".
No dis-ease at all in "the God of all grace".
No darkness at all in "that God is light(only)".
Let there be light ("understanding": "grace glory")?
With all thy getting, get it: "understanding" = grace.
For law is all vanity and vexation of spirit. Solomon.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
