McCain's solution to Medicare- "get a commission of the smartest Americans"

[NJmaverick]

I heard that and thought, "why not cut out the middle man? Why not elect the two smartest candidates?"

1. Sounds like he's stalling, too. Doesn't want to take any responsibility

for any of his ideas. Sound familiar?

2. Economy? Commission. Medicare? Commission.

I thought you "know how to fix things", Senator Frankenstein. What's up with calling for a new commission every couple days?

[tridim]

3. Who gets to decide who is "smartest"? McSenile? Palin?

:rofl:

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Now, what if . . .

What if you got a nonpartison, independent group of "smart guys" to commission a study, and they made a recommendation McCain didn't like?

Example:

US doctors support universal health care - survey

5. or survey of economists say Obama has the better solution

6. YAY millions of dollars for a commission of old, white men

yeah, that's gonna work
