if you like what free-market conservatives have done for the banking and finance industry, you’ll love what they have in mind for health insurance.

I'm glad to hear McCain say that government spending is out of control. On the other hand, his comment that defense spending would take precedent over other things doesn't wash with me. But then I'm a {insert label here}.

$1k rebate for nothing vs $5k credit for health insurance.  big difference.

Poor Jim Lehrer.  He's trying so hard to get them to talk to each other, and it's just not going to happen.
