      Interesting that they have two Republicans and one Democrat to "debate" healthcare reform. Not to mention that the two Republicans happen to be Doctors, and the Democrat is a Nurse. Nothing wrong with Nurses, but as perceptions go, Doctors carry more weight. Damn that "Liberal Media"!

          Kind of reminds me of a scene from an old Ma and Pa Kettle movie. A young boy is splitting a candy bar with his younger brother. He breaks it in half and holds up the two pieces. One is obviously longer than the other, so he bites off a chunk. He then holds up the two halves and... VOILA!... they are equal.

      1 Dem and 2 Repubs. They just will not stop stacking the deck no matter how many complaints they get. To make matters worse the Dem was barely was allowed to speak yet the Republicans spewd talkimg points like water and consumed the entire interview. As for the "death panel" thing it was so blatantly false King had to address it. The Republicans never acknowledge it was a lie and never apologized. They simply ran out the clock and said it was the Dems fault for leaving the door open. What? King didn't press for an answer and never followed up.
      Next up, Blue Dog Ross from Arkansas. King played a negative GOP ad about him and asked what he thought. Duh? He then promised to play a positive ad Ross has put out (at Ross's request). At some "future" date of course.

      What is the point of all this? American media is democracy's worst enemy.

      Typical GOP. They refuse to work with Dems on the bill in a mature fashion and they make accusations of being shut out. Gee, maybe it has something to do with the majority party being able to direct the main principles of the bill. They are not going to get their majority back acting this way.

      Do believe they go out of the way sometimes as not to offend these so called "just average americans". They need to check their brake shoes out because in addition to all the way Right #$%&@$Lou Dobbs they are increasing speed to the right quickly.
