Is this a new smoke screen?

I have to give it to the folks in DC, all this calling town hall attendees "mob" nonsense should take the attention away from:
- Over one trillion dollars in debt
- Cap and Trade to be up for vote in senate
- Another activist judge on the Supreme Court
- Even if "Blue Dogs" get their way, health care reform still $900 billion
- Cash for Clunkers is a huge price fixing scheme

Also, where are the republicans? They seem to be happy with a compromise, but as a conservative, I would love to see a completely different bill, one with tort reform, less government regulation on insurance, tax deductions for doctors whose patients don't pay, etc. Republicans are fighting over minutiae, not a new bill.

Where are the conservative advocates in Washington? Where are the congress members defending the "mobs"? Let's face it, conservatives are not represented in congress, only the interest of those seeking reelection.

My two cents
