Inskeep: I just want you to know that as a citizen I'm a little confused by the positions you take because you are giving me a very nice, nuanced position here.
Steele: It is not nice and nuanced. I'm being very clear
Inskeep: You are giving me, nevertheless, a nuanced position.
Steele: What's nuanced? What don't you understand?
Inskeep: What nuanced means is you are not doing it absolutely black and white. You are saying you recognize that the government has a role to play here... but when you and your party come to the actual rhetoric it seems more along the lines of absolutes. It's between a patient and the doctor.
Steele: I'm sorry. I don't accept your premise. And you known, you have your view and you can say it as much as you want
Inskeep: I'm not saying nuanced is a bad thing sir.
Steele: I'm being very clear. I want to have an open debate. I want to put ideas out there. I want the people to understand what this is going to look like when it is all said and done. Seriously, I'm not trying to be nuanced. I'm not trying to be cute. I'm trying to be very clear. I'm not saying the government doesn't have a role to play here. It does. It is managing a Medicare program so it has a role to play.
