Actually, they are making plans, but they are totally in the dark as usual! The DUmmies are making posts like this over some alleged "freshman Democrat congressman" (Al Franken?! Or maybe Arlen Spectre, LOL) was ASSAULTED! I SAY, ASSAULTED!!! by one of 'us' 'paid lobbyists for the insurance companies incited to violence by the right wing extremist talking heads on Faux News'--bwahahahahahahahahaha!! Here's a sample, please note the unintended IRONY in this post by "My Rep" over at the DUmp:

I really am at the boiling point with these paid protesters. What's next, are they gonna start dressing alike (brown shirts, black shirts, that kind of thing). We really need to start getting our guys to go to these events to counter and shout down these maniacs, only our anger will be real and not manufactured. Are we just to sit on the sidelines and let these professional thugs derail any real legislation in Congress, physically attack our elected members of Congress, and silence public discourse. They are going to let this country descend into chaos. And that is our problem, we always just stand on the side lines and watch and say "Oh, look at them. They're so stupid, nobody is listening to them. They're just having a temper tantrum." People have thought this way time and time again in other countries, shrugging off the frenzied rabble instigated by manufactured falsehoods. And look what happened to them. "It can never happen here." Well, yes, IT CAN!

I think I really understand now why most of the founding fathers were afraid of the people at large. A person is usually a smart, considerate and well meaning individual. People, however, can be a stupid, murderous rabble of thugs ready and willing to believe the most fantastical tales told to them by a charismatic talking head, whether they be in a black uniform spewing hatred through a microphone, or in a suit on a 24 hour network spewing hatred. We have had this problem with the average lot of rural minded Americans (not necessarily living in rural areas) since Andrew Jackson was elected president because he wore a uniform, fought in a bunch of wars, and was the kind of guy you wanted to have a hard cider with. The same thing happened with William Henry Harrison. Emulating Jacksonian principles, he dressed up in his war regalia, drove around in a log cabin, and accused his opponent Van Buren (ironically Jackson's chosen successor) of being some East Coast elitist dandy who rode around in English coaches. And you guessed it, Harrison won...and died 30 days after inauguration because he was to (sic) manly to put on a coat in sub zero temperatures.

Sadly, what is playing out before us is just another continuation of a long, sad story in American politics. But we have a choice now, we are greater in numbers and we have the power to fight back, and we must.

I misplaced my memo, can anyone remind me where I'm supposed to go to pick up my big check full of buckaroos from the insurance company??? Being an insurance lobbyist causing manufactured anger at town hall meetings AND a mom to 1 year twins is SOOOOOOOO tiring, sometimes I forget important things like that! ;-)
