McLame on Hillary Healthcare Plan: "I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig"
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 06:41 PM by jefferson_dem
McCain criticized Democratic contenders for offering what he called costly universal health care proposals that require too much government regulation. While he said he had not studied Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's health-care plan, he said it was "eerily reminiscent" of the failed plan she offered as first lady in the early 1990s.

"I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," he said of her proposal.

how often this has happened.

Democrats says X.
Republican says Democrat shouldn't have said X, is wrong about X
Republican is on tape saying X or saying X is right.
