#1 Yes, I know. It has already happened. A conservative government has already partially nationalized the mortgage industry, the insurance industry and nine of the largest U.S. banks.

Soon to come... the evil oil companies, utilities, Cat Tractor, and automobiles. These belong to the SHEEPLE! Government must properly look after them!

#2 I already have the opinion that this election is like a prostate exam. Lets just get it over with and deal with the consequences. One of us will be smoking a cigarette afterward, me or the One.

#3 A conservative government has already ...

Why do people continue to delude themselves that this was and has been a conservative government, when by performance its been moderate or centralist. Bush had some issues that conservatives liked, ie national defense and tax cuts, but his domestic policies in general were certainly not conservative. Likewise a Congress when dominated by the Trunks seemed to do exactly the same thing the Donks did on earmarks and spending, just moderately in comparison.

#4 He wants to free up health insurance by beginning to sever its debilitating connection to employment - a ruinous accident of history (arising from World War II wage and price controls) that increases the terror of job loss, inhibits labor mobility and saddles American industry with costs that are driving it (see: Detroit) into insolvency. And he supports lower corporate and marginal tax rates to encourage entrepreneurship and job creation.

Interesting observation. What's he suggest? Socialized medicine by chance?
