Democrats try to stack town hall, prevent dissenters from attending

Health Care Forum

Getting worse for Democrats, they are trying to bully protests, not good, and stack townhalls with 'supporters.'

Protests, passions roiling town hall meeting on health care

The tighter the dems hold on, the more their grip will slip, protests are the purest form of America, stop trying to shut them down.

Top Democrat denounces health care protests

Dems have fillibuster proof majory in the senate, and control of the house and executive, how can 'the GoP' be holding them up?

 

[Xenophon]

Deranged Nancy Pelosi claiming protestors are 'astroturf' (Dem speak for fake protestors) and that they carry 'swastikas...'

Does this sound like a responsible government offical?

All over the United States protests have sprung up, and the more obama and company denouce them, the more their poll numbers drop.

That hotbed of the 'right', Conneticut, yet more protests against this insane spending and healthcare abomination.

But many who attended were not affiliated with an established group. Maryann Culkin, a stay-at-home mother from Avon, said she represents no one but herself. She went to Stop & Shop simply because she wanted to have a word or two with her congressman.

"For the first time in my life, I'm embarrassed and scared of where my country is going," Culkin told Murphy. She is worried about how the government will pay for Obama's health care policies.

Yet another example of what Gibbs calls 'faux' outrage 'paid for by lobbists.'

This one is really galling, AARP officals walk out on the 'listening' event THEY ORGANIZED when the SENIORS didn't agree with them.

The seniors continued the meeting anyway, without the AARP 'spokeswoman' (who was clearly NOT a senior) stormed off when the seniors refused to agree with her the the reform AARP supports is something they want.

Some bluedogs admit they slowed this up, and they want to hear from people, unlike reid, Pelosi & Obama, who'd rather insult protestors:

Considering you are from New Zealand and don't have clue one how American politcis works, tell us why you firght so hard for Democrats when 75% of AMERICANS are united in opposing this collosal waste of money.

Go ahead Grump, tell us.

 

[Dr Grump]

1) If your politics were any more transparent, they'd be perspex.
2) I don't fight hard for Democrats.
3) I would say ALL Americans are opposed to wasting money, but nobody is giving alternatives that would work....

this is no surprise
who didnt see this coming

A rediculous answer, THIS is how we conduct our politics, and always have been.

2) I don't fight hard for Democrats.

Of course you do, iof I had been here 5 years ago, you would love me as all i did was rag the GoP, for the same reasons, unending stupid spending.

3) I would say ALL Americans are opposed to wasting money, but nobody is giving alternatives that would work....

That is not what is at issue, what is at issue is the American government keeps churning out huge bills that nobody reads that end up not working.

As I said, THIS is how we run our politics, we galvanize against things we don't like, i find it amusing that you post silly little snooze posts or crickets, its the middle of the night in America, there are few posters on at this hour.

The Dems are trying to organize to oppose the "disrupters"? Oh noes! I can't wait to see the outrage from those that have said the disrupters organizing was bad.... but I'm not holding my breath.

You said I knew nothing of your politics...when clearly I know a shitload...

Of course you do, iof I had been here 5 years ago, you would love me as all i did was rag the GoP, for the same reasons, unending stupid spending.

At least you are consistent. I don't really like either party to be honest, but I loathe the GoP. Dems are Ok, but too ijits running the party (not Obama though).

I know you galvanise against things you don't like, but you guys don't seem that constructive in offering a solution. I think the main reason for this is you are too polarised. Not enough hands across the isles. More interested in the win and getting one 'over' on the opposition to really give a shit (not really talking about you, talking about Americans in general). As for the time, I know....

You left out the 'US' part, and its still clear you haven't clue one about them, I really don't care that you know Kiwi politics.

At least you are consistent. I don't really like either party to be honest, but I loathe the GoP. Dems are Ok, but too ijits running the party (not Obama though).

That is another problem you have, you don't yet realize they are the same, neither is 'ok'.

Obama is a prime example of not being 'ok' BTW, he is Bush without the stupid grin.

That is NOT how we operate, you have to defeat the bad first, THEN you discuss other plans, that is what i mean by not understanding our system.

Right now the USA has one party rule, in theory the dems can do as they like, in reality they know they can't, and these protests are why.

If they try to pass this abomination they will lose the next election.

The hypocrissy will be thick, organizing a protest=bad.

Organizing a counter protest=good.

 

[Care4all]

well, i am not against any kind of protest.... including that of mr gates!

the right was against the dems protesting the war and bush policies...they were livid with dems.

the left is against these disruptive protesters against healthcare reform....

the right is against the dem protesters against the protesters on the right....

what goes around comes around and hypocrisy has no bounds imo!

 

[Xenophon]

When does right and wrong enter the equasion?

NEVER

Now you see why I oppose BOTH parties.

Yup.

A lot of the people who are cheering on these healthcare protests are the same people who were calling war protesters treasonous.

IMO let people exercise their right to free speech and assembly.

Someday you will find yourself on the other side of the coin.
