John Kerry believes the solution to most problems is . . . a plan. His “plans” are the new “lockbox.”
He referred to “plans” more than 20 times in Friday night’s debate:
I have a plan to put people back to work.
I’ve proposed a plan that can capture [all the loose nuclear material in the former Soviet Union] and contain it and clean it within four years.
My plan [to build a coalition in Iraq] does a better job.
Go to johnkerry.com. . . . you’ll find a tort reform plan.
I have a plan. I have a plan to lower the cost of health care for you. I have a plan to cover all children. I have a plan to let you buy into the same health care senators and congressmen give themselves.
I have a plan that’s going to allow people 55 to 64 to buy into Medicare early.
And I have a plan that will take the catastrophic cases out of the system, off your backs . . .
What means something is: Do you have a plan? And I want to talk about my plan some more — I hope we can.
Let me begin by saying that my health-care plan is not . . . a government takeover.
The only people affected by my [tax] plan are the top income earners of America.
Now, you didn’t hear any plan from the president, because he doesn’t have a plan . . .
I have a plan to cover those folks [who lost their health care coverage]. And it’s a plan that lowers cost for everybody, covers all children.
I have a plan for energy independence within 10 years.
The president rushed our nation to war without a plan to win the peace.
I have a plan that will help us go out and kill and find the terrorists.
I’ll also have a better plan of how we’re going to deal with Iraq . . .
I have a plan to provide health care to all Americans.
I have a plan to provide for our schools . . .
I have a plan to protect the environment . . .
He also has a plan for peace in the Middle East, but it is currently flying below the radar. It is deciphered in “A Non-Nuanced Middle East Peace Plan” in this week’s issue of The Jewish Press.
