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.

We know those people in the Republican Town hall meetings mad about medicare reform (cuts/elimination see as paying for tax cuts) are just as real as they were when they booed Democrats for proposing medicare cuts to pay for Obama-care. Republicans knew they were real, that is why 2009 and 2010 they took the position of being AGAINST medicare cuts to win the 2010 election.

Back in 2009 I and a few others were critical of Republicans for taking the position of being protector of medicare benefits, I predicted here that it would backfire. Many freepers here took the position that medicare was a contract. We would have been better off if incoming Republicans ran on the Ryan plan back last year's election even if in the short term they didnt do as well. That way their voters wouldnt be surprised.

I was watching CNN at the gym today (FNC was on too) when they did a story on this and they mentioned liberals showing up to make these scenes on camera. I have no doubt that they are tearing a page from the 2009 Townhall- Obama-care playbook by organizing and complaining at these about the Ryan plan dramatically and taping it to try to get it on the news. It's an obvious opening politically that we know will work.

The one that moved me yesterday was a woman that screamed on a cam “You never ran on this last fall. You never mentioned a word of this (medicare changes) last year”. That's a killer of a line and he couldnt say he did either.

That was the point I was getting at today. The Steele comment came out of my pointing out how Republicans sort of set themself up by delaying their 'bad news' until after the election( and to some extent taking the opposite positions as their real ones). Yes, I know Obama is famous at that but look at his polls.
