Status: offline 		Okay, just to keep you all updated: This morning, Monday the 22nd, McCain is a "regulator."  I repeat, today McCain is FOR regulation of Wall Street. However, do not confuse this with his position on the health care industry, which he still want's to "Deregulate, as we have our financial institutions, to great success."

Today's position is: REGULATE

Thank you, this has been a public service announcement from the "What the Fuck is Up With McCain Today? Comittiee For Political Clarity."

Do you even know which part of the health care industry he was talking about deregulating? 

His suggestion was that health insurance companies be allowed to compete across state lines.  Nice spin though.

Oh and for your talks about the current finance problems... Try looking at Sen Dodd, Barney Frank, Sen. Biden, and Sen. Obama...  Like I have seen said around here many times "Follow the money".

One last quickie... you do realize who signed the deregulation bills into law?  You know the one that allowed the different types of banks to play in each others yards and gamble savings on investments?  It became law in '99.   Don't worry I won't tell anybody, you can keep your secret and blame it on others.

Status: offline 		The deregulation laws you speak of was just the tip of the iceberg, you're quite right, they occured during Clinton's watch. However the complete repealing of the act came solely from Bush, and was advanced by his "ownership society" agenda, supported by the republican held congress. So, yeah, Clinton tried to sneak the regs down a notch, and Bush fucking blew up the damn with a truckload of C4.... Thanks, Thad. Nothing like a little slanted reporting on your part to prove you're just as biased as the rest.
