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 |

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. Yes, I know. Liberal MUST = bad Conservative MUST = good. |

Liberals are still like tyrants; they want to control every aspect of our lives through government fiat. True conservatives want government to butt out. Tell that to John. He says it's not so. Loogy, that's something Donnie would do. It's not very becoming to you. -- John H All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary thinking. No, not at all John. Either you want government to "butt out" or not. You said yesterday that you didn't want government to let private industry do as they'd like. Show me. And when you can't do so, you may apologize. If not, don't bother responding. -- John H All decisions, even those made by liberals, are the result of binary thinking. Well then tell me, do you want government restrictions on private industry or not? And when you can't do so, you may apologize.

Here's a question for town hall meetings...

Lu Powell wrote: 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." 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! 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. Yes, I know. Liberal MUST = bad Conservative MUST = good. No necessarily, though it's hard to find a liberal in favor of less government.
