Who said this?

"Medicare is going to go broke (citing director). In 1993 we rejected the Clinton universal healthcare proposal, it was rejected by the American people. The latest proposal is putting lipstick on a pig. I was at Cleveland Clinic yesterday, they are making incredible use of technology, technology that's startling. Heart operation that goes in between the ribs. Capability of monitoring patients online."

The article here attributes it to McCain. I believe that the "outrage" needs to lose the spin and these folks need to lighten up and talk about issues. I know Sarah Palin is supposed to FINALLY do an interview, but it's a handpicked interviewer after a week of learning the "party line". This is not aimed at her personally, but her rhetoric was used once at the convention and it gets kind of old and tired hearing it OVER and OVER again. It almost reminds me a bit too much of the Bush administration a few years ago. "If I say something OVER and OVER and OVER again, maybe it's true." If the election had been held several weeks ago (prior to either VP candidate being named at least) and the only possible choices were McCain or Obama, I would've chosen McCain. That would be different today. Thank God there's a Libertarian out there.....

" 2.5 Money and Financial Markets

We favor free-market banking, with unrestricted competition among banks and depository institutions of all types. Individuals engaged in voluntary exchange should be free to use as money any mutually agreeable commodity or item. We support a halt to inflationary monetary policies, the repeal of legal tender laws and compulsory governmental units of account."
