The One wants you to turn in your neighbors for the crime of doubting
his wisdom. If any of the express any possible negative attitudes
toward Obamacare then you should immediately turn them in. They are
actually serious about this. Will they send ACORN after people who
fail to conform? Maybe we will be sent to re-education camps. When
the govt starts telling us to denounce our neighbors, it is time to
buy ammunition, or at least to start asking Dems who they think they
work for.

Just to clarify before you-know-who tries to kill the messenger, see:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts...ubborn-Things/

The part that really galls me is the paragraph:

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out
there,
spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These
rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through
casual conversation. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at
the
White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see
something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy,
send it
to ."

"....casual conversation...." Holy ****! George Orwell, where are you
now
that we need you?

Comrade, we have a dossier on you..................

I propose we compile on-line dossiers on them and all their
supporters. All of their addresses, all their phone numbers, personal
info, etc, etc, etc, we'll see who wins.

I have a dossier for all of them - mid term elections is 2020 and
quadrennial election in 2012, with a slew of tea parties from now on till
they change their ways or are gone.

Lu-ser Powell, teabagger extraordinaire. Suits you. Think you'll still
be around for those 2020 mid-terms?

Right on cue, trying to discredit the messenger when you can't discredit the
message. I probably won't be around in 2020, since you asked. 2010 is more
likely to include me.

Typos don't make one a bad person.

LOSER. WAFA.

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.

The town hall meetings are being disrupted by those against the
current batch of bull****, unread policies. Those folks are both
Republicans *and* Democrats.

Listen to someone other than Pelosi or Reid.

Good. Now expand a little more and you'll get a feel for what's
happening.

Thunder, do you think it's a *good* thing for unread bills to be
passed?

Another Rip Van Winkle. Do you think Congressmen just now stopped
reading bills? Just because Obama's President?

Another question unanswered.

I've heard of very few thousand page bills attempting to get shoved
through Congress in two days.

Most congressperson depend upon their staff to prepare a precis of
Bills, and to call out areas that individual congressperson might either
approve of or find objectionable. Anyone who thinks congresspersons read
through the mountain of Bills that are introduced in each session of
Congress is hopelessly naive. Some Bills are read from beginning to end
by many members but not the majority of them.

Since the start of the current congress, some 3500 Bills have been
introduced in the House and some 1500 have been introduced in the
Senate. The House has passed 500+ Bills, the Senate half that many or
maybe a little less. There are tons and tons of other paperwork going
around, including committee and subcommittee testimony.

I suppose if you are really simple-minded, you think your
representatives personally read every document that crosses their desks.
