ken...."<<Just how would the Tea Party stop the health bill?>></b"... "well, they raised a lot of hell at those town meetings last August and they made it appear as though the public was against it but it didn't work because it passed and now the public is beginning to like it".... What in hell is wrong with your head...The American people " public " were and still are against obama care as any poll will tell you. And in case you were not aware...the tea party Americans do not control congress or the senate...the bill passed because of democrat party ass kissers who control congress and the senate. Just as their leader bows to his betters so does his obamanite followers bow to him.

Hey ken..ya gotta get on board with your rulers/owners/controllers. Talk nice about American people. Hoyer regrets calling protests 'un-American' By Stephen Dinan washingtontimes.com House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer said Thursday he and Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a mistake when they called anti-health care protests "un-American" last year. "That was not a good phrase, not a good use of language, it was not correct," Mr. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat, said, adding that he did not see anything wrong with vigorous debating of philosophies. In August, in the middle of a summer in which members of Congress were sometimes shouted down at town halls by constituents furious over the health care bill, Mr. Hoyer and Mrs. Pelosi wrote an op-ed article in USA Today decrying the tenor of the debate and complaining about baseless charges. The leaders called the protests "an ugly campaign" and said it was clear some were trying to disrupt "a civil dialogue." "Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American," the two wrote. In their piece they did not single out the Tea Party activists, who were among the vocal opponents of Democrats' health care bills, though the "un-American" charge has still become a rallying cry for the movement. Mr. Hoyer said he made a mistake in reading the op-ed too quickly and approving it. But he also said there are some tea party activists that go beyond the acceptable level of debate, and he gave as one example rallies where speakers accuse Democrats of being communists.
