While television cameras have focused on vocal opponents to health
care reform, in many cases they have been outnumbered by supporters
of the legislation in general and a public option in particular.

In Phoenix, Arizona, "Pro-Obama demonstrators appeared to outnumber (http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/305326 - broken link)
the anti-Obama ones (http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/305326 - broken link), with Phoenix police estimating the crowd at 1,200 to
2,000 at locations around the convention center."

Reform Supporters Outnumber Critics At Town Halls

and those gun toting folks in phoenix are about as conservative as one could get...

1 event? You must be joking. Haven't you been listening to the news and watching the videos?

Even in places like bluer than blue NY and SF, politicians are being confronted by those against obamacare.

Nice spin, but the reality we can see with our own eyes.

Spin? These nutbags which are a small minority aren't even debating or raising questions about the health care reform. They just moved over from their stupid teabagging parties to the town halls. I guess if refreshments are provided the white trash rednecks will follow...

Why you sound just like Barbara Boxer, Barney Frank and the rest of them. They will be surprised when they are voted out next time.

Do you mean questions like, How will we pay for this?

Or, since CBO says it won't save a dime, What purpose could it possibly serve?

So George Soros and groups like ACORN are gathering up their bed-wetters to go support hussein obama. It will not matter because the truth is the majority of America does want some reform, just not hussein obama's plan. Democrats areon the losing end of this one and hussein obama knows it. That's why he has backed off on one thing after the other.

Most people do want some kind of reform


Most people do NOT want what the liberals want (single payer or public option)

Devil is in the details. Public option may simply be renamed CO-OP but still retain all the elements of the public option that will reduce choices for all of us.
