John McCain has had to run right hard to capture the Republican nomination. Now that he has it, his proverbial run back to the center has been blocked by the ongoing imperative to prove his conservative bona fides to the Republican base, where attitudes toward him run from mistrust to loathing.
Nonetheless, in an unusual and rather creative speech delivered in the Ohio heartland (Columbus) today, McCain began the long walk back, rhetorically, if not substantively, toward addressing all Americans.
"Everything's fine," McCain told reporters during a news conference. "Like most Americans, I go see my doctor fairly frequently." http://www.politico.com/...
I've received a bunch of emails about the McSame performance yesterday on This Week and specifically what he said about healthcare.
If you require only one example of our worthless traditional media, it's this. McSame's condescending, elitist and ill-informed statements about healthcare have been barely reported.
June 19, San Francisco, massive rally against AHIP, check back for details.
Senators Clinton and Obama, bicker as you might, neither of you have proposed Universal Health Care plans. Those who support you [plural] state a semantic argument attests to your authenticity. Many espouse "universal" means "to affect, relate to, or include the whole." Granted, all Americans will be changed by your plans. However, not everyone will be insured if either proposal is implemented.
