From my buddy –H. This was posted as a comment, but merits it’s own post.
I had to re-read this piece couple times to make sure I did not mis-read it:
….. To help Americans reduce their debt, Kerry is proposing to cut credit card fees and rates, and put limits on below-prime or zero-interest loans, [...]

Kudos to rigoletto39 of The Motley Fool for the heads up on this article from The Free Republic.

One heck of a post from Betty of The Motley Fool. I’m not even going to quote or paraphrase, just read it if you wanna.
I don’t know if you have to register to read Fool posts or not. If you do, it’s worth the trouble. Tons of excellent content in their discussion [...]

Harkin: Cheney’s comments ‘cowardly’
“When I hear this coming from Dick Cheney, who was a coward, who would not serve during the Vietnam War, it makes my blood boil,” said Harkin.
“He’ll be tough, but he’ll be tough with someone else’s kid’s blood,” said Harkin
