What I've been saying, too. These morons don't know or care what they're protesting, they just want to be a part of the GOP hate machine. Pathetic way to get your rocks off. They are a disgrace to this nation and to democracy. As is the GOP.

What about the anti-war protestors protesting at funerals?
Why do the protests have to manufactured? Not even 1 protestor was real? Out of all the Americans against this plan? Come on....
If the plan is so great why isn't congress senate and Yes the president himself willing to end their own health programs and use the UHC system?
Actions speak louder than words.
Kind of like we are going to stop wasteing money. Cash for clunkers program? How much pork has been attached to the stimulus package?

Protesting looses it's impact when it's done anytime and everytime you don't like something. Kind of like boycotts.

I don't want a national health plan, but if we get one it should be for the president and the congress to have the same plan as everyone else. What makes them better than we are. I don't like the idea of a government saying who gets or does not get medical treatment. A system like that would be too easy to abuse.

Who says you have to be part of a national health plan? You keep your insurance, and they can keep theirs. Choices are nice dontca think?

Well quite a few protestors have asked that very question and as yet as far as I know have not received an answer.

Yes, free speech is bad. Very bad. All that US constitution stuff is crap. Obama knows better than some old document- just ask him. No wait- you can't speak anymore as there is no freedom of speech. Better not email either, as they want to know if you agree with them or not so you can be put on a list, just like our returning servicemen "extremists". Better just shut up and do as they say. That is the new American way.

It is shocking. What the libs are saying today could have been spoken by the germans in the 1930s. They are just so mesmerized by Obama that they cannot see what the hell is going on.
