Republicans, craft a bill? Are you high? Republicans wouldn't know how to craft a bill if it bit them in the ***. I don't even know if they know how to read?

Well, if you were actually watching the Senate proceedings, other that posting nonsense here . . . you would know that a Republican just tried to get the Senate to pass a $15,000 tax credit for homebuyers, but the DEMs voted it down.

Why?

Cause they said it would interfere w/ the Cash for Clunkers program. Now, let's see. Which would the American public rather have had?

I hope the UAW, Steel Workers Union, Teamsters, etc. are prepared to give up their deluxe employer paid health insurance benefits to go on cost-cutting, lower quality Obama care!

Let's get this straight. Party A hears from a blog that Party B is emailing unintelligent people a point by point method of interrupting town hall meetings and bus them into these meetings to cause mob chaos. Party B is so disgusted that Party A could do such a thing that interferes with the very being of Democracy that they.........

email all their unintelligent followers and give them a point by point guide sheet while bussing them into town meetings so they can form mob chaos and prevent the speaker from answering any questions.

Man, I feel like I'm back in third grade again.

Default What To Do About Rioting Republican Mobs At Town Halls

This Congressman actually handled it pretty well. It is obvious that most of these folks do not even know what they are protesting and shouting about. They just came because a right wing radio mouth told them to come. So then the question becomes what can we do. We can go to these things and try to defend the Congressman and the President but do keep in mind that it can be dangerous. Many of these people are "Tim McVeigh types" and Lord only knows what they are armed with or capable of doing. Bombs could explode and kill everybody there!
The better way is just to call or email your Democratic Congressman and let him know that you got his back on health care. And tell him to show some spine and not back down to a howling mad lynch mob!

Oh please. We know that union members will be exempt from mandatory participation.

Only in the demented and sick mind of a liberal could concern be misconstrued as hatred

So sad to see some people going off the deep end

Gee - those people didn't seem to be mobbish? They asked some questions and then cheered or booed depending on how they liked the answer.

My gosh, this is eerily similar to an obama TH.

So...according to Kev, no clapping is allowed. This is a very bad example of "mobs gone wild".

In fact, these people are fairly reserved.

That is what i heard too.

People should Google 0bama health care town halls with "Service Employees International Union" and see how many times that union has stacked events to help push 0bama's health care. And then ask if a few people attend some town hall meetings from republican community organizing groups, why would that be out of place.

Why is it okay to stack an audience to push democrat agendas, but thuggish and Hitlerian to stack it against?

Are you kidding? They boo, shout, wave signs and a few of them were seen waving Swasticas! They don't allow anybody to express an opposing view without yelling names and shouting. These people are no better than a bunch of college aged drunks at a football game.
