Here's a question for town hall meetings...
From a column by Robert Tracinski, "20 Questions for Your Congressman",
(http://www.jewishworldreview.com/080...i081109.php3): "Thomas Jefferson said, 'A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.' Notice what is not on his list: government-provided housing, or government-provided food, or government-provided health care. And Jefferson's views on the role of government were widely shared by America's Founding Fathers. So my question is: Please explain where you disagree with the vision of our Founding Fathers, and why." |

That's what the conservative nutjobs are doing. I remember when Newt Gingrich came up with that idiotic "contract with America". The people who rallied against it were branded by the conservatives as unpatriotic, un-American, communists, etc. Now that the conservatives are being loud, disrupted and generally making fools of themselves at town hall meetings, they are patriots! |

When the hall is stacked so that the audience is 100% supporters, and one or two people who aren't hand picked sneak in, that is what they have to do to be heard over the people who are asking questions from a teleprompter or cue card. Any time there are big bald headed guys at the door deciding who can get in and who can't, it's pretty predictable what's about to happen. HTH, but I doubt it. Steve |

What a fool the speaker appeared as he stumbled and stammered over rehearsed words from a telepromter he proved that he was illiterate. Too funny! HTH, but I doubt it. Steve |

What does that have to do in the current situation? My ancestor worked and fought to right that wrong over 150 years ago. |

He starts spewing jibberish whenever he can't stay on topic. |
