McCain on banking and health
OK, a correspondent directs me to John McCain’s article, Better Health Care at Lower Cost for Every American, in the Sept./Oct. issue of Contingencies, the magazine of the American Academy of Actuaries. You might want to be seated before reading this.
Here’s what McCain has to say about the wonders of market-based health reform:
Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.
So McCain, who now poses as the scourge of Wall Street, was praising financial deregulation like 10 seconds ago — and promising that if we marketize health care, it will perform as well as the financial industry!>>>

Mr. Kelly provided no links to his filibuster comment, and I can't find any anywhere - and neither can you.

>>>"I'm wondering if people realize this. If McCain/Palin win the election, and McCain dies in office, Nancy Pelosi will become vice President."
You are incorrect, and I really am disappointed that so many people really don't know how our country works. No personal offense meant, but it's OURS, let's get in the know, especially before giving false information to people who might just take it as fact.
25th Amendment: Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
When the president dies, and the VP becomes president, there is suddenly a vacancy in the VP seat. I'm sure it's obvious why the VP has the right to make the appointment, when you consider sort of mess we'd be in with a Palin/Pelosi team.
I'm not at all saying deliberately or maliciously misleading people, but there really is a need to be reading and learning how our country works. Because I don't see how one can properly make an educated choice on election day without a firm grasp on how it all works.
"No blocking occurred as Democrats didn't have that opportunity."
You know, it occurred to me that lying that others are responsible for something when they are not is pretty serious. It's even more serious when the accuser in fact turns out to be the one at fault.
How come the Republican politicians are able to keep fobbing off accountability for doing this? It's not like their great performance is distracting us. They are miserable failures to boot. What is going on?
