In-fighting

Among the left: this guy thinks these people are fraidy-cats.

Among the right: this lady tries to eliminate some of the McCain hatred. She speaks over the head of her audience, apparently. They don't seem that bright, since many of them seem to believe that a President McCain would lead to more gridlock than a President Clinton (or Obama).

Wage garnishing

Lenin, on her universal health care (which is socialized, my friend):
Mrs. Clinton, who did not answer Senator Barack Obama’s question on the topic in a debate last Thursday, was pressed repeatedly to do so Sunday by George Stephanopoulos on the ABC program “This Week.” When Mr. Stephanopoulos asked a third time whether she would garnish people’s wages, Mrs. Clinton responded, “George, we will have an enforcement mechanism, whether it’s that or it’s some other mechanism through the tax system or automatic enrollments.”

(snip)

She has taken recently to calling universal coverage “a core Democratic value and a moral principle.”

Which seems to imply that taking your money against your will in order to pay for something you never bought and don't want is a moral principle.
