"Mark, you can't possibly believe that?" Why not, they've done it before and very successfully. I give you as an example the little group of protesters outside where they were counting the votes in Florida in 1990. There are pictures from the event showing who those protesters were. They were primarily republican party hacks who had been flown in from all over the country. Personally I'd like to see dialog. I think single payer should be part of the discussion. I think that's why Obama's ratings have been going down, because they took that out and it now looks like it is going to be a insurance industry crafted "reform" that doesn't help people but mandates that they get insurance.

I think it's possible that the republicans learned not to use such easily identifiable people this time. The thing that makes me suspicious is that they are not pro anything. They are just against the current plan. They don't seem to me to be interested in a talk about how to make health care better. It fits too well in with the talking points that have slipped out about Obama'a waterloo etc.

<<<French Resistance didn't go after the Nazi's first, they went after the Nazi sympathizers who sold out their country.>>> Interesting........... Nothing makes my blood boil faster than driving behind his stickers with drivers such as blue blood yuppies with or a white haired ole lady from the Country Club crowd. I have thought to myself that these folks need to be first. Of course, W got to be the same way for me......... got dam 2 peas in a pod these folks are. Heading to the Campaign for Liberty rally with Ron Paul tomorrow for a breath of fresh air.
