Do you have any idea what you're talking about? I tend to think not.

The "concerned Americans" you speak of have essentially been swooping into the town hall meetings with the sole intention of disrupting the meetings.

These "concerned Americans" you speak of are nothing but a piss-poor representation of those opposed to the Health Care proposals. Which is a shame because now no one talking against the bill will be taken seriously. This just gives more ammo for the Dems to criticize the Republicans to invalidate many valid points.


On the complete other hand, your post has absolutely nothing to do with the topic I posted about. It's one thing to criticize the President with valid points in a reasonable way - but Glenn Beck incapable of presenting his opinion reasonably or with validity.

I think Scott knows full well what he's talking about. You're the one who doesn't.

[QUOTE=JohnnyD] The "concerned Americans" you speak of have essentially been swooping into the town hall meetings with the sole intention of disrupting the meetings. [ENDQUOTE]

Is it possible, in your opinion, that the "concerned Americans" did not "swoop" into the meetings but got there as everyone else did? And is it possible that they see and experience the meetings not as a place to openly discuss all points of view but as tools to promote THE PLAN? Is it possible that they have seen the power of COMMUNITY ORGANIZING"--how well it has worked for Obama and feel free to borrow his tactics?

Have you noticed that the Dems have a filibuster proof senate? Have you noticed, if they can get all Dems on board they can pass whatever they want? Even a Government Health Care bill that you dissaprove of? And the only way to stop it is to scare the Bejesus out of enough Dems from conservative states to oppose the plan? Have you noticed that only a few Dems are afraid of your "valid points", and that if the intended PR victory that the so-called town hall meetings, staged to soften public opposition to THE PLAN works, those few Dems (along with some party arm twisting and political promises) will come on board and all your "valid points" will be irrelevant? What, btw (or precisely, as you like to say), are your valid points? Do you speak them? Do you go to the meetings to present serious polite conversation? What are you doing to stop a flawed bill, or is it just a polite matter between civilized folk, and the winner takes all, and the most drastic shift in American values will have been civilly, peacefully, and orderly won? Are you putting up any kind of fight?
