The plan man

John Kerry has a, you know, plan. In fact, lots of plans. And maybe a verbal tic.

• "I have a plan to put people back to work." • "I've proposed a plan..." • "My plan does a better job." • "Go to johnkerry.com. You can pull it off of the Internet. And 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..." • "Do you have a plan? And I want to talk about my plan some more — I hope we can." • "... my health-care plan is not what the president described." • "The only people affected by my plan are the top income earners of America..." • "... you didn't hear any plan from the president, because he doesn't have a plan." • "I have a plan to cover those folks. And it's a plan that lowers cost for everybody..." • "That's why I have a plan for energy independence..." • "... small businesses are not affected at all by my plan." • "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..."

Highly nuanced indeed.
