"Congressional character"
I figure you won't be surprised when I tell you that I agree with this writer.
Do you?...
Do you?...
At WorldNetDaily.com, Henry Lamb what I see:
"C-SPAN reveals a Congress that is no longer an arena for open, honest debate – or debate of any kind. It has become a stage for performing actors to convince the media and their audience why they should be in power, and why those who disagree are not worthy of holding power.
How long has it been since there was a real debate about the merits of a policy proposal, either in Congress or among the presidential candidates? In a debate, a proponent presents an idea, and the opponent identifies the flaws in the proposed idea and offers a counter proposal – with hope and expectation of the best possible policy outcome. What passes for political debate today is little more than an exercise in name-calling, sidestepping and often, eloquent ambiguity."
