Great post, thanks.

And yet, support for financial reform is overwhelming...yet they refuse to do it.

Good!

There is still hope that most are admitting they were just misled and not lacking I.Q. in total.

Even as a repost, it bears repeating.

This is a stunning drop in support. A once complacent nation is pulling together in opposition to this fiasco. The “strongly oppose” numbers and unruly townhalls are a telling foreshadowing to Congress.

Yet, Obama is still ruminating about LBJ’s work with Medicare, and talking about his grandmother.

"42% of U.S. voters"

"U.S. voters" as counted by ACORN? That would include millions of illegals, felons, dead people, and phantom registrants, plus the multi-voter crowds....

Not to worry, these Socialists have an agenda where each agenda item is worse than the last. They’re out to destroy our country and plan to go full steam ahead.

Obama / Leftist media decry supposed, fear-mongering charges of “Death Panels” as baseless, but are silent regarding explicit and indistinquishible HHS / Congressional jargon requiring or incentivizing physicians to “initiate guided consultations” regarding “advance care planning” or “end of life planning” (HR 3200 sec. 1233) in order to meet bureaucratic goals (http://www.ahrq.gov/research/endliferia/endria.htm) for “reducing resource use”and “positively influencing terminal care costs” through such “consultations. Physicians to be subjected to de-facto quotas via “quality reporting initiative” measured against yet to be defined standards, to be endorsed or adopted by “consensus based organizations”. These “Advance Care Planning Consultations” to include “an explanation by the practitioner of the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice, and benefits for such services and supports that are available under this title. “

Best thing to do is corner the congresscritters and senators and ask them to explain each line or section. Read a section and ask them to fully explain it. They are clueless and this has to stop. If we can get rid of Reid and Boxer, and another DEM, we might have a fighting chance to start rebalancing the govt.

says volumes about the place “We the People” have gotten into...basically the crooked finance guys stole all the money and are now going to deprive us of access to Federally guaranteed benefits.

I tried to watch the o townhall today. I couldn’t get past his entrance.
Their lies are so often repeated with smiles and straight faces, or feigned anger at our REAL anger, as if we have nothing to be angry about. They are stealing our country. They have robbed our treasury. They have decimated the Constitution. They have stolen our children’s futures and we need to get them back. And now they want us to HAND them the power to decide who lives and who dies?
No. The answer is NO. No now. No Tomorrow. And No forever.

I can’t gag down looking at the liar either. I refuse to look at him or listen to him. He’s worse than Jimmah Carter. OMG!

I wish that the townhall meetings would also address the AUDIT THE FED issue. They need to answer WHY they refuse.
