Durbin, Senator IL, commented on this yesterday. When there is a protest in Chicago, paid union people and government workers show up and are given their printed signs to wave at the cameras. He must have never seen protests by regular people who show up to voice their concerns because they actually believe in something-—not because they are getting paid to.
They know that the “tea baggers” aren’t paid to go to the rallies.
They know there is growing dissent within this country and that a sizeable populace will not let Socialism be ushered in without discussion in Congress.
The question is whether politicians care more about re-election than they do about bringing Socialism to Amerika.
