At least those are fair tactics, but there are parts of the Republican
party that are coming across as very poor *losers*. I particularly like
the tactic of disrupting town hall meetings. I guess Obama should learn
from Bush, and institute an invitation only policy. The gnashing of
teeth begins. If you listen very closely, you might just hear the sounds
of Republicans in the wilderness... noooo, noooo.


I think an announcement ought to be made at the beginning of those town
hall meetings that anyone who behaves in a "disruptive" manner will be
ejected immediately.

The meetings are set up for dialogue between rational adults, usually with
a presented and an audience, and the audience is supposed to ask questions
and get answers during and after the presentation.

Unfortunately, mostly Republicans are engaging in planned and coordinated
activities to disrupt the meetings. Well, screw 'em. Toss them out of the
meetings as forcefully as they misbehave, and if they resist, arrest them.

Civil protest and disobedience is fine in this country. When protestors
cannot behave in a civil fashion, it is time to toss them out on their
asses.

An open town hall meeting, with pro signs, and a stacked audience before the
doors are open to the public. That sounds like a fair dialogue place.
