The emerging protest movement is almost the mirror image of the grass-roots campaign that helped sweep this Arrogant Ass into office by pulling in people who'd never been politically active.
Didn't some Japanese feller say something along these lines? It sure was the truth then, eh?
Can you imagine that arrogant dial, in that same pose, that same expression, carved in Mt Rushmore...?
YES WE CAN
It is the same giant that threw off the most powerful country of the time in 1776.
I call it the American spirit of liberty.
It can and will reduce the person known as Obama to rubble.
0 may be the single reason for Republican resurgence. Or the emergence of a viable third party.
Ping to a “remorse” thread.
Not exactly sure how “the giant” managed to sleep through last fall.
Did I miss any pejoratives?
Obozo seriously “misunderestimated” flyover country.
bookmarked.
There is no republican party!!!!
Yee Ha!
Keep up the good work, Nancy.
And all the rest of the protesters utilizing the tools of democracy.
I called my useless “representative” last night (Yarmuth), and asked why they don’t just try this overhaul in a few states like New York and Massachuetts. Then if it works, they won’t have to sell it, the other states would demand it. The person on the other end hung up on me.
Is it true that when the doors opened for The One’s townhall, over half of the seats were already filled with union thugs who had been sneaked in the back door?
I though I heard that in passing on the radio, but don’t remember the source.
Considering that both of them are on Medicare - a government-run single provider healtcare system - or on a Union funded retirement program that is specifically protected by the healthcare proposals to the extent that the government will step in and fund them if the company goes broke, I'm not sure what they have to complain about. Except that maybe the government will get out of their healthcare system.
The spokespeople against Obama's Hellthcare reform should be those who are hurt by implementing it. Not those who are already protected by existing government systems.
Quote:
Nick Sidorick, 38, who said he owns a sports bar in Clearfield, Pa., drove an hour to attend his first town hall Wednesday after staying up until 2 a.m. the night before making signs to protest government intrusion. I work 14 hours a day and I can’t get ahead because of what the government takes from me.
I hear you, Nick. I really do.
I’ll bet Hillary is sitting back and saying to herself, “I’m glad I didn’t get elected and tried this health care boondoggle.”
The American people are experiencing voter remorse. They now regret their mindless rush to the polls in November to obtain forgiveness for their White Guilt.
“Protesters interviewed at Specter’s town hall events in central Pennsylvania this week were almost exclusively white, conservative and working class”
Gee, do you think that *might* be because the vast majority of the “population” of central PA *is* white, conservative, and working class? ;)
People like my wife who hae never been politically active are suddenly turning into fervent activists. (I’m the activist type. I grew up in Young Americans for Freedom.)
This is a serious danger to liberals and their dreams of takling over every detail of our lives.
