As time goes on, and as the DNC and Obama continue to try and supress the people, the vast majority of which are acting out of their real and understandable frustration...these numbers will go up.

We have abject evil amongst us. It has been festering for decades and is now rapidly advancing. The American people are seeing through it on this health care plan and are angry...and tired of being the patsy for all of these marxistic, socailistic, destructive, initiative robbing, liberty destroying, un- American, and unconstituional actions of the DNC, Dems, left, MSM, and RINOs.

Something is going to give, and so help me God, it will not be the liberty, constitution, and way of life my forefathers sacrificed their life's blood for.

The Dems and Obama seem intent on turning this into something more akin to Iran over this issue, with their own Basij thugs sent out to silence us, and Obama supporters called on by the Whitehouse to report any dissent. But that will not work here. It will backfire on them and ultimately they will be held accountable. We are not only aware of our rights and the sacrifices that have vouchsafed them for us, but we are also unwilling to submit to thugery and tyranny, and will use all means to prevent it and stop it.

“Phony efforts drummed up by special interest groups and lobbyists”

This talking point came from Daily KOS (as did the “swastikas” claim).

It’s been echoed by Party leadership and faxed to the kool aid drinkers.


The media never pointed out that Communists and Marxists were behind the so called “antiwar” movement during the Vietnam war or the Bush administration.

But 35% view the protesters unfavorably.

That 35% probably swoon over Code Pink and MoveOn protests. ...and ACORN/SEIU.

That 30 to 35 % demographic are the dedicated socialists. I see that range on issue after issue.

Here is what they are going to try to do to silence us:
1) bring more people to events than we do;
2) arrive earlier than we do and sit up front to be very visible to cameras;
3) study venue staging ahead of time to plan strategy
4) be more visible than we are and situate their signs where cameras are;
5) assign 3-5 people to approach each reporter to “shape the narrative;”
6) interrupt us and “refocus” the meeting;
7) don’t debate us and prep their side with questions;
8) repetition of their talking points is key to their strategy;
9) organize their own town hall meetings and choose a venue that is difficult for us to attend; put protesters in the back; make us submit questions and select the questions to be asked; collect all signs and leaflets that are not the ones they provided;
10) assign people to greet reporters and enter and leave the meeting with them to minimize the chances we will have to speak to the reporters.

Now they are sending union thugs to the meetings as “security.” Perhaps citizens with disabilities should voice concerns so the cameras can catch the union thugs threatening little old ladies, war veterans, and the disabled.

>>>>>Forty-one percent (41%) of U.S. voters have a favorable opinion of the people opposing health care reform at town hall meetings ...
But 35% view the protesters unfavorably. Twenty-three percent (23%) are not sure what they think of them.

Sam Adams is rolling over in his grave!

Those 35% Unfavorable KNOW that everything they protest/say/do is orchestrated by the democrats; therefore they figure that has to be the same in every case!

They have never been nor met a person that is able to decide something for themselves!

After the liberal news media had the unmitigated gall to follow the Democrats’ lead regarding the people who object to the “health care reform” bill, it’s not surprising that people have an unfavorable view.

That’s a very close devide with alot of “not sure’s”.

With recent good news for Obama with the N. Korea hostages and the economic news, he just might be able to persude those not sure’s to his side.

We may be on to Obama, but most people still think he’s a “cool dude”. If he starts rising in the polls again Cap and Trade and Obamacare will soon be permanent fixtures in our lives.
