Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Sen. Arlen Specter got a preview Sunday of the tough sell lawmakers will face over health care as audience members booed and jeered them during a town hall meeting in Philadelphia.
Among those at odds with the officials touting the $1 trillion, 10-year plan was a woman who earned loud applause when she said she doesn't want Washington interfering with her health care choices.
"I look at this health care plan and I see nothing that is about health or about care. What I see is a bureaucratic nightmare, senator. Medicaid is broke, Medicare is broke, Social Security is broke and you want us to believe that a government that can't even run a cash for clunkers program is going to run one-seventh of our U.S. economy? No sir, no," she said.

While supporters offered courteous applause to the officials, Sebelius didn't earn any fans when she said that if lawmakers say they don't understand the legislation voters should urge them to go back and read it.

It’s pitchfork time and the looney left knows it...
Love it!!!! Keep going to these town meetings! We got them on the run!
Sebaceous and Spectre. What a combo.
The two old broads got what they deserved.
Even as out of touch and ignorant as these people are, they can think in the abstract enough to project. Think they are scared?
“The two old broads got what they deserved”.
...now THAT’s funny!
Doesn't matter. The Thug is gonna pull one of those 'midnight specials' and pass it by Executive Order on a Friday night. He doesn't care if people oppose it.
But you know what? I say, Let those bastards pass it anyway.
It will seal their political doom for certain.
Someone said it before I could... It’s truly pitchfork time!
Need to VOTE them down!
BTTT
Senator Sphincter says what??
Ummmm...
In the end they lost big time....
Fortunately, we have the 2nd Amendment, If the left had it’s way, pitchforks would be the most dangerous weapons we would be “allowed” to have, and then only if the tines were dulled.

Oh brilliant!!!!! So ... since SHE is willing to buy a pig in a poke, she thinks we ought to as well. Stupid jerk. What the h%$# is she selling, if the product DOES NOT EXIST??????????????????????? What are these clowns peddling to American voters if in fact, and according to her own statement, the bill does not exist yet! Why don't our 'elected officials' STFU till they have something to present? I'll tell you why... because they are so COMPLETELY "O's" creatures that they will stand up and say ANYTHING in public. They think we are all as drunk on this BS as they are. THEY have sold themselves to this creep in the WH and now are trying to earn their pay...nothing more.
GUILLOTINE!!! GUILLOTINE!!! GUILLOTINE!!!
