What do you think? Are town hall forums on health care accomplishing anything? Yes. Health care's vitally important, and differences are bound to get aired. No. If shouting dominates, meaningful ideas on reform can't be vetted. Yes. Grass roots activism should always be applauded. No. If anything, the acrimony is preventing any progress.

We’ve got the attention of all the libs. The only thing they know how to do is suppress dissent by calling normal people nazis, radicals and mobsters.
They are in disarray - they can’t believe that the sheep have stopped bleating and are acting like wolves.

C’mon, gang. Very few votes so far. Make yours count.

Public redress of grievances without pink foam getups or anarchists burning effigies of sitting presidents? Completely patriotic.

“Results not scientific,” no kidding!
Ambiguous choices that are not mutually exclusive, that dilute each other and prevent any meaningful measurement of opinion whatsoever—the MSM hallmark.

That’s funny, I don’t remember these polls during the Iraq war debate.

Click on the Orlando Sentinel link provided in the original posting here. When you get there, the poll gives four choices in the article. Click one! Most of us are clicking the third one.....
Thanks.

pitiful? When Obamacare is handed a KO loss no one will be describing the town halls as "pitiful" anymore.
