Don’t tell the people that you’re their to listen to them – and then stop them from talking.

The moderator was, for one thing, not very confident. She didn’t look like or sound like she believed what she was saying and judging by the way she jumped all over them when they dared utter any sound, she obviously expected to have some resistance and had already made the decision to leave if things didn’t go her way.

There was nothing wrong with the way they answered her. She made the disingenuous claim that “we can all agree…” and they collectively disagreed with her. That’s not rude or unruly–that’s typical.

Anyway, I’m glad that the one guy realized that this wasn’t an issue about “health care” but about individual liberty and freedom and that it didn’t just start with Obama. He was absolutely right on with everything he said and I applaud them for holding their own meeting after being abandoned by AARP. THAT is exactly what America is all about; Americans organizing together for a common purpose–to defend our liberty and freedom.

Plus, how many RINO’s might succumb to D.C.itis and suddenly want to keep a compromised version of Marxist Medicine?

Things may seem to be trending against him and the Dems now, but we have over a year to go, and we must take over a good number of seats.

Well,, maybe Helen Thomas, if she’s near a flight of stairs.

I love this AARP meeting.

“Gentlemen, you can’t talk in here! This is a listening session!’

As it is, with the way the Dems are going about it, I doubt it’ll even get enacted – they’re doing almost everything wrong they possibly can on this one…

I’ve heard many stupid things in “facilitated” meetings, but none more stupid than by the man who said that insurance companies could not make a profit without denying care to people. Does he comprehend only the Marxian concept that profit is an excess stolen from the workers?

What we have here is not a revolt against Obama or Congress, but members of a private organization revolting against the staff and organizers of the AARP. The majority of them are very concerned about the implications of the bill currently before congress, and how it will affect their ability to receive healthcare after it is implemented.

As a voting block, those 65 and older went only slightly more in favor of McCain in the election of 2008., 54% to 44%). Although one could argue that this single meeting of the AARP is anecdotal and not necessarily representative of the organization’s members as a whole, the fact that they overwhelmingly rejected the position of the host suggests that it is more likely to be representative of the group.

More and more the healthcare bill appears to be the hill that Obama, Pelosi & Reid will live or die on. It is my belief that the strategy that was successful during his campaign and early days of his Presidency is wearing thin on a significant segment of the population; reaching across every demographic group.

Even if in the end Obama and Congress are able to pass some version of this healthcare bill, they will have expended so much political capital they’ll be hard pressed to get any more of their agenda accomplished. That will be very good for Americans.

And last night, after ColdWarrior put up a link to Harry Mitchell’s health care website, I went and punched in my old address in Phoenix, completed the survey, called him out on his calling this whole sham “health insurance reform”, explained what a crock the 47 million uninsured number is…and sent it off to him.

What I wish I could see is the look on the guy’s face who now lives in my old house when he gets the letter from Harry thanking “Bob Wallace” for his views on health care.

This is gettin’ kinda fun.

Heh. Heh.

Let’s see, take money from friendly congress critters,
Lobby for causes of friendly congress critters.

What’s wrong with this picture??

And Obey thought he invented that last election.
Arrp was decades ahead of AKERN, although they share some characteristics.
