A very strange debate, indeed

In 40 years of paying attention to politics (I'm 55 by the way), I've never seen this obsession with the debaters and the meta-debate, as opposed to just talking about the issues:

Is there actually an Obama health care plan?

What are the motives of the people opposed to the current plan (HR 3200)?

Who's lying?

Are abortions covered?

Are illegals covered?

What is the number of the uninsured 20? 40? 60 million?

How many of the uninsured have single or joint income exceeding 75,000?

Is Medicare broke or going broke?

My bottom line, the promoters of Obamacare won't be candid, honest, transparent, truthful, etc. The most obvious indicator was the haste they tried and will try to get this passed.
