the dos attacks are a mere nuisance.

How far can they push it? I guess, as far as it needs to be. Let's ask the Founders.

[cripplecreek]

We haven’t gone far enough until the scumbags start resigning.

[freebilly]

Democracy and mobs go hand in hand....

[pissant]

Let me be the first to say we will push it all the way back up Obama’s arse, from which it came.

'If Someone Thinks They're Going To Legislate By Mob Rule, They Don't Understand What It Means To Be A Democracy'

hmmm, I always thought that pure democracy was nothing more than mob rule anyway?

It took a new york congressman to say something this bloody ignorant, didn't it?

[Parley Baer]

The question is how far are the dimoKKKRATS willing to go to push this so called health-care plan down our throats.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Reight. These “representatives” have it it too easy for too long. Let someone challenge them and they react like the spoiled rotten brats they really are.

Crybabies all.

Yes, and let's press the point home: if the "new york congressman" represented his constituents instead of his string-pullers and cash-and-favor givers, he'd see the marvel of a "representative republic;" he'd be upholding his oath of office; he'd have integrity; and, I guess, he'd be as rare as a dodo bird.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Interesting question.

A more valid one is “Just how far can the protesters be pushed?”

And I do think that is the purpose of this little civics exercise. To push the protesters into doing something the emperor can seize onto as the reason for declaring martial law.

[goodnesswins]

It's about FREEDOM! The Protestors NOW just happen to be on the OTHER SIDE of the aisle! You are NOT ROYALTY!

"Others said they see no point because making themselves the focal point of protestors does nothing to advance the debate."

[GOP Poet]

These idiots need to read about how our country was founded and its principles fought for and laid. Mass ignorance! Wow.

[Steely Tom]

Let me tell you something, EEE. When this goes down and sprays egg all over O’s face, he’s going to lash out at the American people. Maybe not right away, but it’ll happen.

We’re not worthy of his greatness, and he’s going to make sure we all suffer for our foolishness. Or at least try to.

"If someone thinks they're going to legislate by mob rule they don't understand that it means to be a democracy."

Ignorance on parade! LOL! And, of course, cognitive dissonance, the liberal hallmark.

A quote from a British newspaper circa 1775? ;-)

Democracy is mob rule you moron.

That's why we were supposed to be a Republic with inalienable individual rights. Something the mob isn't supposed to be able to take from individuals. Yet you think the "greater good" trumps the rights of the individual. You claim the right to enslave a minority to use their labor to provide the greater good to the mob with the most votes.

Why limit it to Noo Yawk? A good many others are just as stupid.
