#1 Harkin spends so little time here in Iowa that I doubt he could even find it on a map. No wonder he is more than happy for us to pay for everyone else's little bits of pork. (Don't worry, though....there's enough stupid people out here that he's a sure bet to return to the Senate the next time he runs.)

#2 Those of us who live near Chicago recognize 'vote buying' as a long-standing tradition in Cook County and is a 'feature' of Chicago politics accepted by the locals as 'small stuff'. Perhaps Sen. Harkin has been living too far 'east' of the Mississippi for a while.

#3 On one side is health care as a privilege, on the other side is health care as a right.

Gotcha. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that health care is a right. And my understanding is that Congress alone cannot amend the Constitution. So the whole thing really is unconstitutional.
