Before Democrats decided to take a direct vote on the Senate health care bill, Representative Joe L. Barton, Republican of Texas, described the plans to approve it without a direct vote as “a sleight-of-hand subterfuge” that would allow lawmakers to avoid accountability.
“This process corrupts and prostitutes the system” and could “unleash a cultural war” over the legislation, Mr. Barton said.
Apparently, Glenn Beck spending the last 8 months telling us that giving poor people medicine is the first step on the slippery slope towards Auschwitz doesn't constitute "cultural war." Who knew?
