MEDICARE plan, McCain: Form a Committee with a bunch of Smart People!
Raise your hand if you heard that during the debate!

So Medicare, it's going to be a little tougher. It's going to be a little tougher because we're talking about very complex and difficult issues.

My friends, what we have to do with Medicare is have a commission, have the smartest people in America come together, come up with recommendations, and then, like the base-closing commission idea we had, then we should have Congress vote up or down.

Let's not let them fool with it anymore. There's too much special interests and too many lobbyists working there. So let's have -- and let's have the American people say, "Fix it for us."


Seriously, John, you've been a Senator how fucking long and running for POTUS for how long and how many times and you STILL DON'T have a Medicare Solution?

I can't wait for these words to be used against him in an ad or speech.

It is Solid Gold!!

Is it just me, or is that the worst answer in the world?

:patriot:

1. It Sounded a Lot Better
when Ross Perot said it. Plus, it wasn't in the middle of an emergency.

2. The dude is falling behind, this was the best answer he could come up with...
..for one of the top ten "better take care of this" issues we have.

My top five list: Social Security, Medicare, Energy, Climate Change, the disappearing Middle Class.

Also concerned with Media consolidation, education, and all those pesky Amendments.
