DURBIN: "I think members should be out, speaking with the public, meeting with people who are the health care professionals and talking about the current situation. I’ve done it and I’ll continue to do it. But you know, I hope my colleagues won’t fall for a sucker-punch like this.
"These health insurance companies and people like them are trying to load these town halls for visual impact on television. They want to show thousands of people screaming ‘socialism’ and try to overcome the public sentiment which now favors health care reform. That’s almost like flooding the switchboards on Capitol Hill. It doesn’t prove much other than the switchboards have limited capacity. So, we need to have a much more balanced approach that really allows members of Congress to hear both sides of the story, rather than being sucker-punched or side-tracked by these types of tactics."
I hope I get my check soon! I’ve spent my share of money traveling to Tea Parties, making phone calls, etc.
The real difference, is that liberals plant operatives, conservatives have lives, jobs, family, when they protest it is from the heart........not the bleeding heart but the soul.
Never stop, we can win.
