LAT on SCHIP

Lacking confidence in arguments based on the merits of the Democrats' efforts to expand SCHIP, the LAT today devotes its editorial to denigrating opponents of the Democrats' plan. The LAT stoops to name calling (saying President Bush is bullheaded,) ridiculing (saying the GOP presidential candidates offer only "facile bromides about 'free markets,'") and threatening (against Republican congressmen who oppose the Democrat bill,) hardly an honorable or fair way to debate a serious issue.
