They'll be shocked, I'm sure.

From now on everytime some leftist mentions "astroturf", they're getting this in their face.

I liked how well behaved those people were but am sure that you got a seat according to who you were. Did you see it? All during his 20 minute speech the guy sitting behind him over his right shoulder was carrying on just like a comic fool. Every time Obama made a comment that leftys would celebrate he smiled and mouthed agreement. He was sure as hell planted there.

There was one town hall that I saw part of that I thought the Congress person did a great job. Some noise but not much and she handled it all so well. She made points that nobody from either side has made that I know of. Claire McCaskill Mo. (D) and I was really taken in by the way she told people that as of now there is no bill in either house. The House of Pelosi seemed about ready to vote on one but nobody knew which of the three their committees were proposing was to be voted on. The Senate has two in committee but only one of them is known to Ms. McCaskill since she has seen the whole 621 pages of it, however she didn't try to stick up for it.

Honestly I am thrilled by the way she handled herself and the question in that somewhat riotous meeting. Too bad so few of these people can handle it.

Did you hear about the poor little 35 year old mother of 2 girls who got up into Specter's face and told him that she has never been interested in politics till about 2 years ago. What happened two years ago? The Dems took over the Congress. She said that she has watched as this country has slowly been dismantled and decided she had to say something. This evening Hannity interviewed her and it turns out that she had call after call on her cell phone calling her names and even threatening her family. I think that a woman who was ready to take part has been intimidated by Democrat thugs today and she will back off now to keep them away from her children.

Damn that one makes me mad. They squeal and howl about wing nuts threatening their politicians and then they pull that on a just plain interested citizen. Yeah, that tells us a whole lot.

The threats and intimidation are democrat SOP anymore. The guy who took on Dingell (my traitorous rep) here in MI had threats made to him and his family at his home.

Yeah for going onto another forum that uses such resources as facebook and campaign contributions to play connect the dots with.

This thread is the political equivalent of six degrees of separation with Kevin Bacon. I keep having visions of Ben Stiller in Zoolander talking about investigatory journalists running through my head when I read that linked thread at a forum that uses a thread at this forum as a source.

Really though if you want to do your homework you should read the bill and then specifically reference sections that you don't agree with. Playing party hack isn't doing your homework.

This is all crazy. We have entered crazyland where this administration looks upon the people as a bunch of stupid 12 year olds to be hood lied to and fooled.

Congress is even worse.

Out with all of them starting 2010.

TMZ or the Weekly World News might cover it as well.

Honestly. Connect the Dots. Campaign contributions and facebook profiles are not sources. Tell us how someone in the Whitehouse planted this family in the audience and intended to call on the little girl.

I am speechless with anger.

I don't have to ask "what do they think we are" because I have the answer. They don't think we're much.

I see a huge republican victory in 2010 but only if they run some conservatives.
