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."

Well, I don't think it is appropriate to own slaves.

You have to go nuts, shout and disrupt, and not let anyone answer you.
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.

I remember this happening during the last administration. 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!

What does that have to do in the current situation?

My ancestor worked and fought to right that wrong over 150 years ago.

Sorry Loogie, but you need to turn on the tube and watch something
besides GE television (MSNBC)... I just watched a straight hour of town
hall with Specter and 25 random questioners. It was smooth, cordial, and
informative.. One thing I learned is very few folks out there really
support this bill. The only bullying and beating so far has been union
thugs beating a black man.

Here's another hint about "organization". Look at the signs the folks
are holding. Pro health care, pro printed, single phrase, mass printed
and produced signs, opponents, hand made, crayon or marker on
cardboard.. Do a google on the signs and get back with me. No
republicans have been "bussed" in, unions have, no opponents have held
up german symbols, this is a liberal thing and the ones recently have
been debunked. There was a guy yesterday with a Obama Hitler sign at a
rally. He carried it around parading for the cameras, at the end of the
day he was seen handing out pro union, pro health care pamphlets. He was
a plant.

The question, ****-for-brains, was "Please explain where you disagree
with the vision of our founding fathers..."

Got it?

Harry does that frequently. He starts spewing jibberish whenever he
can't stay on topic.
