   no surprise that a liberal hack politician has to surround himself with corrupt union punks. stern within his group may be powerful, outside of it just another parasite.

   I love the warning signs that they are using at these “townhalls”.

   The Union plan,

   Raise wages and benefits on employers to near disastrous levels,

   dump their health plans on taxpayers,

   raise wages again to make up that difference,

   Continue to reap millions in union dues for a small handful of union bosses,

   the end justifies the means.

   Too bad these people in purple aren’t as playful and innocent as the popular children’s character, “Barney”.

   They are mean-spirited bullies who have a socialist agenda and are aligned with the environuts and the community organizers trying to destroy all that this country stands for.

   Isn’t holding a political meeting in a private “residence” illegal? I thought they had to be held in public buildings?

   I’m sure the attorney general will start an investigation immediately.

   Of the many templates the media is attempting to foist upon us

   is that Obama, peace be upon him, is the new FDR

   and that

   if you take into account his family, it is the new Camelot.

   When in fact he is the new LBJ

   That is the proper comparison. And the one that should be the answer to every FDR attempt.

   It’s not just the SEIU who are organizing and that the political fraidy cats are using. We received a recorded message from the AFL-CIO to attend our areas town halls yesterday to disrupt the angry voices and get health care passed. We are not even union and not sure how our number was given to them. I captured the number the call came from on caller ID 202-639-6258. Anyone else get these calls yet?
   I am genuinely angry that healthcare is getting socialized and the lies that are being told by our representatives to us. I don’t need to be prodded by some union to attend. I am not in their corner. I want choice and the freedom to choose who, what, when, and how I receive my health care.

    the total union population of the u.s. is 14%. remove teachers union and gubmint workers union people, and true labor union population is about 5%. calculate the collapse of the autoworkers union through obamanomics, and the coal workers and electrical workers union through cap and tax, and true union participation will be 12% by 2012. between now and then these pension funds and slush funds are going to be radically depleted paying unemployment and strike wages as businesses shut down and gubmints force layoffs or furloughs. businesses must make a profit, or they are a hobby. gubmint never makes a profit, they print their profit for next year. soon, the bills are coming due, and the grand theory of socialism will hit the brick wall of reality. No One Works For Their Neighbor.

    Wonder if we are seing the Demorcats starting to eat their own? Local ( DC metro) television has run ads paid for by a group, Americans United for Change, attacking Congressman Wolf for not being in lockstep with The CHosen One’s program (i.e., not voting for the climate change bill).

    2010 is looking better and better!

    You put boots on the ground. If they don’t let you in stand outside. Show up en mass at his office. Whatever works.

    I just saw this on Politico:

    Faced with a souring public mood on health care reform, Democrats and their supporters are launching a national grassroots push Wednesday to show lawmakers that the majority of Americans still support overhauling the system

    Now, is there anything at all in that sentence that seems just a little contradictory? (Hint: it has something to do with grassroots.)

    When will the Leftist Dems like Chaka Fattah start moving their local offices into Union offices permanently?

    Fattah has no guts. He’s afraid to address his own constituents without union thug protection.

    no but whocalled.us says this is probably from the AFL-CIO who doesn’t return phone calls…just ignore them or better yet report them to your State and Federal do not call lists with a complaint….

    What I find odd is the disconnect between AARP, which has run 2 very agressive televison ads derriding the criticism of Obamacare (On Fox News no less) and the take I have that most retirees -and presumably many AARP members) who would touch Obanacare with a 30 foot pole.

    Go on line and enter the number using Google; you should get some info about who has called.

    I think we should ALL report these calls. Now that we have a phone number, we can report them to the do-not-call police. Will it do any good? No, but it should send a message that we are on to their illegal activities.

    I disagree with almost everything LBJ did, but this is an unwarranted comparison. After all, no one doubted that LBJ loved his country, and while amassing personal power, he did try to benefit the average citizen.

    Johnson was both giver and taker. Osama Obama is a taker.

    Birds of a feather.

    Wonder where they’ll hide after Obamacare strips union members of their much better health insurance and they all have no better than mediocre (at best) care like the rest of us will.
