Health-Care Anger Has Deeper Roots
WSJ.com ^ | 9/1/09 | JANET ADAMY and JONATHAN WEISMAN

Posted on 09/01/2009 7:59:37 AM PDT by Kartographer

"A lot of the anxiety we face here has less to do with health care and everything to do with the overall state of the economy and government," said Rep. Anthony Weiner, a New York Democrat.

"I have seen a level of dissatisfaction and even anger that I haven't experienced in the years that I've been a member of Congress," Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican, told an audience at a health-care meeting in Kansas City on Monday.

Weinie still misses it.

The opposition is due to the fact that we can “think beyond stage one” and see government control and rationing of healthcare,

and the eventual denial of healthcare to those who won’t obey the elitists in government.

The political end is coming to RAT Fascists. They’re so clueless and power hungry that they don’t realize they should start packing.

How I pray that's true. The trouble is, the sheeple have extremely short memories.

“How I pray that’s true. The trouble is, the sheeple have extremely short memories. “

that is actually something i worry about - that the anger has peaked and now will subside closer to the elections of 2010 and 2012

That’s fine, John. Now please shut the ____ up and stay out of it!! DO NOT “reach across the aisle” and make deals with the friggin’ left so you can read a few more glowing puff pieces about yourself in the Times. DO NOT team up with Lindsey Grahamnesty—his lips firmly attached to your rear end—and betray the American people once again.

This jerk hasn't a clue. He attends a health-care meeting so he can do his trademark "reach across the aisle" act, and then he's surprised that people are angry at him?

So, what's his response? No doubt to continue to reach across the aisle and talk about health-care compromises.

Say, John, how'd that bipartisanship work for you last November? And how'd McCain-Feingold work for you in the last election, you jerk?

I suppose you haven't seen angrier audiences since you co-sponsored the McCain-Kennedy amnest bill, eh? Do you think there might be some connection there?

Yer picture says it all for me. I’m 100% in agreement!!

Congress and our political systemare out of control and corrupt beyond any reasonable means that can be resolved quickly or easily.

Throwing them all out and tarring and feathering them is a GREAT way to start, however!!

Are you kidding? There is no telling what will be thrown at us during this time. Obama will keep pushing until we all stand up and say NO MORE. If we do not have riots, I will be surprised. In all of my 71 years, I have never seen the deapth of frustration in the American people as I do now.

Why is McCain talking to people in Kansas? Is he afraid of his own constituents?

No, he's counting on them next year to flood the polling sites.

Tar and Feathers? Your letting them off light. I had something far more excruciating in mind.
