Re: Town Hall Meetings
I totally disagree with the healthcare plan, but I dont agree with how a lot of people are going about protesting it. You protest outside a building by doing this kind of shit. You can even protest hate speech that way by drowning out stuff that shouldnt be said. You dont protest a two sided issue by being the loudest bunch in the room. By being a mob, they only lend credibility that its more about organized protest by bigwigs and less about pissed off constituents. You want to show how many people in the room dont approve the healthcare plan? Have one person stand up clearly into the microphone and ask for a show of hands how many people dont agree. They cant hide that, they cant run away from the room at that, they have to address it. This gives them an excuse to make Obama-style townhalls, where the audience is screened, the questions staged, and the result one-sided.

See Callous and Red Lobster? You can be a conservative and have a sense of dignity, as exampled by SJA's post. Although he and I are on different sides of the debate, I agree 100% with what he said in regards to the actions of the mob at these meetings.

The Republicans are turning into Monica Conyers sound alikes. If they think being Billy Badasses is persuasive then they need to think twice. They sound like this broad.

The town halls have been set up to get the result the pols want.
The mob.
The chanting, was probably started by the union agitators.
But in the larger sense, it is a debate.
It is clearly not a Lincoln-Douglas debate and a nation scale these town halls are one side presenting their argument.
IT is now up to the other side to respond.
And they have.
By claiming any one who disagrees and doesn't do that by funding some lobbyist group is destroying democracy.
I wouldn't want to sit and hear prepared statements that don't answer questions, that is the political equivalent of chanting NO.
It is not an exchange of ideas, it is preaching.
Well the choir is in rebellion.
It's getting harder to fool the people....
