As the latest round of maneuvering and voting on Health Care Reform slowly grinds to conclusion later today, I've listened to some of the proceedings in the House of Representatives.
It's amazing the amount of time wasted in conducting a "debate of Talking Points" from the floor of the House.
It's also amazing to think that many of the same elected representatives who pushed us into an ill-advised, unfunded, three trillion dollar (estimated) war, continue to be worried that a cost of one trillion dollars - properly funded - to provide health care coverage to Americans is somehow too expensive.
Our priorities - and moral compass - needs correction.

Liar. Liar. Liar.
The latest John McCain ad includes the catchy phrase:
"They're Ready to Tax. They're Ready to Spend. But They're Not Ready to Lead."
The ad goes on to declare that Obama "and out of touch Congressional leaders plan to implement painful tax increases on working American families." It claims the Democrats will produce "years of deficits," and "no balanced budgets."
What a despicable bunch of Lies.
Unfortunately, they're just more Lies from a once honorable man formerly known for his "straight talk." Is there any Republican capable of speaking the truth these days?
What's happened to John McCain? His moral compass appears to have been lost. He knows, or should know, that the ads he's approving are filled with Lies. I think most of us are willing to accept a little "embellishment" during a political campaign. But, repeated lying is despicable.
Shame on you, John McCain. You may be a war hero, but your current conduct reveals some very serious character flaws.
FactCheck.org, a nonpartisan "consumer advocate" for voters, has examined Barack Obama's tax plan, and determined that it would produce a tax cut for over 81.3 percent of all households, and 95.5 percent of all households with children.
Not exactly the "painful tax increases on working American families" described in John McCain's commercial.
FactCheck.org has identified a "pattern of deceit" in John McCain's ads. Straight talkers would call it a pattern of Lying.
Republicans have repeatedly used scare tactics to get elected. George W. Bush lied to start a war. Apparently, John McCain believes in doing the same to get elected.
Mr. McCain, we expected better from you.
