cbsnews.com — During the campaign candidate Obama regularly promised something different - to broadcast all such negotiations on C-SPAN, putting the entire process of pounding out health care reform out in the open. (That promise applied to the now-completed processing of forging House and Senate bills, too.)

I'm glad. It's impossible for politicians to have any real debate over health-care in-front of a camera. They make some fancy speeches, but they won't get anything done.I'm glad.

I'm sorry that no one else is stupid enough to buy the bulls**t you have been fed, the majority of us have woken up to your tricks and the FACTS are that regardless of your digging in your collective heels and doing ALL you could to prevent it the country is recovering nicely AND we will have taken the first step in health care reform that will allow our country to be competitive with the rest of the civilized world. We will NOT EVER FORGET that you did your best to prevent it from happening. Say goodbye GOP, say goodbye.

I guess it is much easier just to call someone nuts than to actually back up an argument with facts. Again, that's the same sort of thing I've seen time and time again from so called "conservative" pundits, calling anyone who disagrees with them wackos and crazies rather than argue their case on the merits and facts. Make an actual argument based on facts and reasoning, rather than saying how you could argue but won't, or taking quotes from people who have shown themselves to be untrustworthy, then you can earn the right to say if I'm wrong or right.And what is absurd about thinking using ad hominem attacks is a dumb way to prove a point? And while there are some democrats and liberals who use them as well (and I don't defend them either, I think Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann need to stfu), it's much more pervasive throughout the republican public figures and pundits.

Would one of those eeevil Digg-gaming sites be Drudge Report, the most popular news site on the Internet? (Hint: That'd be the one that led me and many others to this story.)
