John Boehner is calling on Democrats to broadcast the health care bill exchanges on CSPAN, making good on Obama's campaign promise While this is not wholly untrue, Obama did promise this, it is not as if Republicans have the cleanest record of transparency themselves. John Boehner himself called health care reform a "government takeover." There is no justification for such a claim, even if the public option stays.

The Republicans are the ones who have partaken in some of the dirtiest politics. Anyone remember the congressional fight for creating Medicare Part D? Oh yes, now I remember, that was measure that former US Comptroller David Walker called "probably the most fisclally irresponsible piece of legislation since the 1960s." In efforts to try and pass the Medicare Modernization Act, Republicans twisted arms, threatened Congressmen, and left the floor open for voting several hours longer than legally permissible.

Hey Boehner, how would you have liked that on CSPAN?
