thinkprogress.org — On NBC’s Today Show, McCain told Matt Lauer: Of course I don’t like excessive and unnecessary regu — uh, government regulation. But on CBS’s Early Show, McCain told Harry Smith: Do I believe in excess government regulation? Yes. But this patchwork quilt of regulating bodies was designed for the 1930s when they were invented.

Free and fair markets are just as good as ever. What we have today is not a free market, however, especially with an unfettered monetary system. Large companies are a result of lobbying efforts on their behalf that shut out competition, often in the form of the regulations you are calling for. Many of these corporate giants would be more than happy to see their smaller competitors saddled with rules that they cannot afford to keep up with. A free market does not have such government favoritism, corporate welfare, excessive regulation and taxes, or other external, non-market based forces.

And of course, the "leader of the free world" and the political party who has controlled congress for the majority of the last 15 years (10 Senate/12 HoR) bears no responsibility. "Democrats are focused on maintaining a nation of debt" - Look at the statistics, the national debt has grown substantially bigger, faster when Republicans are in office than when Democrats are in office.It looks to me like the reason the Democrats always lose the policy debate is because they don't have enough votes.

What?! An anti-McCain ad that hasn't been tagged as "inaccurate" yet, and without any posts explaining how it is inaccurate ?I can't count how many times I've scanned through comments trying to find out why people are tagging as "inaccurate" only to come to the bottom of the comments. :-/
