I wouldn't put it past left-wing nuts to "infiltrate" these town halls pretending to be a protester while saying things they can later be quoted by the liberal media as proof that the insurance companies are behind them.

That is a page from their tired old playbook.
It came from FOX NEWS man! I mean FOX NEWS is not going to make up things to make conservative Republicans look like fools!

Okay, that's a fair point.

I'm sure there are people that are arriving by bus for these, but I seriously doubt that this makes up the entirety of people speaking out against the plan. There is a lot of debate about this, even among the Democrats, so it would make sense that there would be a lot of concern. Secondly, given that these are being held by Senators who cover an entire state, I doubt that the Freedom Works Foundation is able to get enough people together to travel to another state to have this much of a presence at this many gatherings.

Maybe people attended Green's townhall meeting because their own reps aren't hosting them. Our rep announced that she would not be doing townhall meetings during the August recess. Probably because she knows what kind of heat she would take if she did. Pretty cowardly. I'll bet there are a lot of reps like her hiding out this summer.

You have to laugh at all these liberals complaining about bussing when their messiah and other left wing groups have a LONG history of bussing people in and paying them to protest.

Let's see there are now fewer Republicans than Independents and still shrinking. It's working real well. Whoever paid Limburger $40 million to destroy the Republican Party got his monies worth.

Less than one in four identify as Republican

Less than a quarter of all voters call themselves Republicans, a number that has dropped precipitously over the past six years, according to a new analysis.

In more than 7,000 interviews conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2009, just 23 percent of voters self-identify as members of the Grand Old Party. That's down from 30 percent as recently as 2004, and the trend shows no signs of slowing.
Quit makin' stuff up.
