Also when it comes to HEALTH-related stuff, not only is Medicare a joke, but ask him about the VA.

Remember the sanitation problems with “the vaunted” Walter Reed the other year?

Look for that and more with Obamacare for “all”. If they can’t run something covering 1/5 of the population, how can they run for 100%?

As for other government nonsense:

Why do people think the FEDERAL government can run something like health care for the whole country, when they gripe about the STATE government’s operation of the DMV?

Whoops!

Hope you followed the numbers to my reply to your post...

Nice work D! Thanks for the report.

[Paul R.]

Well, shoot, you expected them to let you park there, considering the name of that parking garage??? LOL!

[boxlunch]

bump...

Thought you’d enjoy this:

“All we are saying, is pay your own bills”

That song just stumped the left. They had no reply and seemed dumbfounded that a favorite tune of their was being used against them. Picture a huge crowd waving back and forth and singing this to the leftists across the street. It was surreal...

Remember the unnecessary DEATHS at the Marion, IL, VA hospital??!!

Wow...over 9,000 views. Thanks Michelle.

Nice report on what went on inside, Albion. If I had gotten in, I’d probably not made it through the event without getting arrested. LOL

I’d just note that Cardin is a very mediocre man of no real accomplishment for all his years in Washington. I don’t even think he should be given any credit for showing up and taking the heat, as that is simply part of his job. But I do concede to you your right to grant him some credit.

As for all the specifics about the “health care reform” plan, the Dems are simply lying their butts off about all of it. But, hey. What’s new.

[PaleoBob]

Very, very cool! Thank you for your service to our country.

You are very welcome but I think all I really did was “show up.” It might be enough if all of us do it. I’m gonna spend the next two weeks writing letters to those fools on the Hill. My understanding is that a letter carries more clout than a phone call or email.

[Boucheau]

I’m just so proud of all these patriots at the townhall meetings.

Thank you all so much for getting involved.

Please stay involved, stay vigilent until this nightmare is over.

I reviewed local coverage by four channels of last evening’s town hall mtg and it was surprisingly misleading. The Fox affiliate was the only one that even showed any of the unique inventive anti-Obamacare posters. The other channels used very selective shots to screen the signs from view, except of course the commercially printed pro-Obama
++++++++++++++++

Wow, so much for my hopefulness. Thanks for reporting REALITY. Journalistic integrity among the SRM (even locally in many cases) is DEAD.

Go TEA PARTIERS! And bring your video cameras! This WILL go viral!

2010 is just around the corner really - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Going to a rally to oppose bussed in union tonight in Everett:

Info on Larsen’s Town Hall today:

Update: The Democrats are planning a rally outside the venue at 3:00 p.m. so you know they will be there way before that. If you can go, please go early!

It’s in, from Rick Larsen’s office:

Town Hall Meeting on Health Care Reform Hosted by U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen

5:00 PM PT

Aquasox Ballpark at Everett Memorial Stadium

We’ve got the momentum folks...bammy’s approval on socializing health care is underwater at 42 - 53 having dropped 9 points across the summer!

Let’s ROLL!

Showing up is 99% of the fight. Thanks again.

[Albion Wilde]

Thank you, PaleoBob. If I hadn't already spent years on the street FReeping, I would have gone off, trust me. My blood pressure was up, to be sure. The Baltimore Sun really captured the feelings of the crowd, if not their point of view.
