RE :”Sounds like pure manipulation of public opinion through misleading polling.

You havent seen the video clips taken at Republican Town hall meetings? like the one in WI last week where Ryan got yelled at? They are very similar to the Obama-care ones except instead of being mad Obama is cutting their medicare they are mad that House Republicans voted (non-binding) to eliminate the medicare entitlement. Republicans never ran on that, they refused to talk specifics of any cuts before the election and said they were defending medicare from cuts.

That is how you lose the tax battle, make it look like a competition between voters entitlements and ‘tax cuts on the rich’ when you ran on protecting the entitlement. It changes everything.

I haven’t seen it, no.

But how do we know that some of the whiners weren’t ‘rat plants sent to undermine the meeting?

Look at how effective they have been at tea parties bring in fascistic signs to “fool” reporters. The ‘rats do it and so do LaRouche’s people.

Wisconsin has turned into a snake pit due to the government unions but most people who actually LISTEN to what Ryan proposes respect his ideas even if they don’t believe his entire plan is correct.

We cannot allow a minority of crybabies/plants to determine fiscal policy which, if handled wrong, will drive the country to a quick demise.
