I haven’t receive any of Wallace’s “disruption” emails either. I’m astounded that the two libs on FNS claim that the Town Meetings are working to the Democrats’ advantage!

Sorry to tell you this but it IS working to the Dems’ advantage. Obama’s polls have started moving up again and THAT will drive the outcome. Unfortunately for us, the Independent voters seem turned off by the discord.

Now that we have the media’s attention (even it IS tilted against us) I wish we could find a way to keep our voices heard without yelling and chanting. Yes, I know the left always got favorable coverage for their demonstrations. I’m simply dealing with reality. With no spokespersons and no real organization (we don’t want Republicans to lead us), how do we get heard without the dramatics?

I’m mad, too. These town halls only provide canned talking points. For example, they keep telling us “No one will lose their private insurance”. But the CBO said MILLIONS would. I get furious every time they say that and completely understand why the town hall attendees erupt in anger.

Sorry to be the skunk at the tea party, but our very grassroots nature is now working against us. The media can make up whatever they want in the absence of spokespersons and a consolidated agenda. I don’t like it, but that’s the way it is.

I think the only hope we have is for SENIORS to get stirred up. Nothing scares a politician more than a handful of angry geezers!
