I agree with the article but If McCain won the liberal wingnuts would block anything he wanted to do.

They would have been hollering and screaming about a Bush third term and we cannot let the Bush agenda continue. Especially since they control Congress.

Fantasies about what might have happened under a different reality have no bearing on what is happening now. The liberal wingnuts were at least educated. The right-wing fanatics are complete morons.

Wow - my wife, an Independent, who some people call a "right winger" is, according to you, a "moron". I did not know that.

Even though she has 3 Masters, she is an MD, a Ph.d, has a flourishing private practice, has authored / co-authored several major books etc - she is a "moron" according to you. She is "uneducated" (liberal wingnuts were at least educated). Wow -

And, I guess I'm a "right wingnut" in your opinion - uneducated according to you - even though I have that MC, MBA, JD degree - yep - uneducated.

BTW - as for you? You really need to get a life.

Are you stating that you and your wife are "fanatics"? If not, then that posters remarks having nothing to do with you.

As for the "You really need to get a life" comment...........really? You have 18,000+ posts on here. Really?

That is basically it. Are the fanatics just the ones who shout and yell inside the meetings to disrupt? or are they the intelligent ones who want answers about how healthcare reform is going to affect our overall well being?

Are these people fanatics in Brooklyn NY? seems to me they had legitmate questions about cost. Nothing about Death Panels and that bulloney.

I would wager the op puts anyone who dares question the great leader in the fanatic category. I hope I am wrong.

It's your definition that counts in this instance, not mine. You are the one who felt compelled to prove that the poster's comment about "fanatics" was indeed wrong. The fact that you chose to defend "fanatics" with your personal anecdotal evidence made me question whether you identify yourself as a "fanatic".

If you do not identify as a "fanatic", I am wondering why did you use your own educational background as an argument?

No - its about people (like the other poster) who makes ridiculous generalized statements that they are unable to substantiate.
