<p>So far, I still like Edwards.</p>

…and as luck would have, you are not alone; at least one other person tingles at the sight of such a dashing candidate:</p>

<p>The main impact of YouTube will be in highlighting inconsistencies in the candidates’ message or unseemly moments. For example, the clips of Romney’s vehement pro-choice positions in the Massachusetts governor’s debate. Or, George Allen’s macaca moment.</p>

<p>Oh Dottie that is so yesterday’s “news.”</p>

5

<p>Dottie, apparently you didn’t bother to watch the first-cited video, in which John Edwards comments on the hair-fixing video you decided to cite and comments on how that’s just as appropriate a use of the media as a fan’s entry. And smiles at the popularity of the hair video, saying it doesn’t bother him. “I’m human just like anybody else.”</p>

<p>How refreshing.</p>

6

<p>“So far, I still like Edwards.”</p>

<p>I like him because he’s for much higher taxes. (Not meant sarcastically).</p>

7

<p>I hope not too high. ;)</p>

<p>I still see you are throwing the top 3% of the income earners with the top 1% of the income earners when doing your analysis. :)</p>

8

<p>Hey, $90 - $120 billion for health care alone seems GREAT to me. Finally a candidate who sees the alternative minimum tax as a solution rather than a problem! ;)</p>

9

<p>I don’t understand the problem with the AMT. It’s the flattest tax around. I thought people wanted the flat tax.</p>

10

<p>The only problem is the rate is too low, given the need to pay off the Bush Boondoggle and provide health care and create all the new beaches required by global warming.</p>

11

<p>I’m not sure the rate is too low. If we get out of Iraq, we are going to free up a lot of money.</p>

12

<p>If we get out of Iraq, we will have accrued needs for veterans services in excess of $700 billion. Military equipment is shot - there will be a huge spending boondoggle - figure another $300 billion. This is before dealing with the debt from the Bush boondoggle.</p>

13

<p>If we don’t get out of Iraq, our accrued spending needs are going to be higher.</p>

<p>If the republicans lose, military spending is going down.</p>

<p>Our bigger long term problems are our demographics. We are getting old.</p>

<p>I like Edwards health care plan so far because his plan includes both private and public health care plans. Hopefully this will keep down the costs, somewhat. Somewhat.</p>

14

<p>If I were king, I’d get rid of the insurance companies. Government programs are far, far more efficient - overhead for Medicare is around 3.5% as opposed to 29% or so in the private insurance sector. Get rid of the insurance sector and we can provide health care to EVERYONE currently without, without spending an extra penny.</p>

<p>Fat chance. We’ll choose higher taxes first. ;)</p>

15

<p>“Fat chance. We’ll choose higher taxes first.”</p>

<p>You’re right.</p>

<p>If Edwards proposed this, he would be just an ambulance chasing lawyer. :)</p>

<p>Kucinich can propose what you want, but he will never win.</p>

<p>The idea that business is always more efficient than government. I think that idea came from business. :)</p>

16

<p>I’ve worked for both. In almost every comparable instance I can remember, government is more efficient. What they can’t do (and which is where money is made) is innovate.</p>

<p>And you wouldn’t want them to! :)</p>

17

<p>The reason Edwards needs a signficant private sector component is so that he and his ambulance chasing buddies have somebody left to sue the pants off.</p>

18

<p>That’s one reason I like Edwards proposal. We will have two systems side by side. I’d like it to be shown that the government run system is better.</p>

<p>Can’t all insurance be run better by the government? Auto insurance you buy at the pump? Disaster relief insurance? Earthquake insurance? Life insurance?</p>

<p>It’s just mathematical models.</p>

<p>I’m not sure why we have an insurance industry.</p>

<p>Of course, if we didn’t have an insurance industry, what would happen to Warren Buffet? :)</p>

19

<p>“The reason Edwards needs a signficant private sector component is so that he and his ambulance chasing buddies have somebody left to sue the pants off.”</p>

<p>Sometimes, people need suing.</p>

<p>Mr. Edwards has much better hair than Ms. Rhodam. Just seems a lot more truthful too… ;)</p>

<p>Now come on ID, that was your bait…</p>
