What’s the definition of a “crying shame”?……Give up?…….Answer: A bus load of Acorn protestors going over a cliff with two empty seats.

I thought Townhall Meetings were local events, the Senator shows up to hear the views of local folk.
How can it be called a “TownHall Meeting” if the senator brings along his own supporters and local foks participation is rationed ?

Acorn departs the bus with attitude intact. It’s enough to make you laugh and cry at the same time, especially when you know they are getting mega bucks from OUR hard work, to sustain this sickening entourage.
Now, the administration is proceeding to go on the attack, with a new czar, imagine that, to hamstring talk radio, and the daily, completely petty attacks leveled by the president himself, on Fox News. Yet, yet, the citizens of this great country are themselves still respectful of the office of President, and afford him very civil discourse, at his ‘town hall’ meetings, which is undeserved.

Isn’t it something that some of the people from the town where the meeting was being held was not allowed into the meeting because the busloads of SEIU and ACORN supporters were pushing their way in front of the actual townspeople to stack the meeting. What does that say about our “supposed leader”. OK Dems, where is the outrage over this? If this kind of bullying is normal for the left, I refuse to give in to their tactics, and will fight them one-on-one, not the usual “gang thuggery” they have been using. I am old, but not yet beaten down by these criminals. OK Barry, show us what else you have up your thieven sleeves. I for one do not get a “tingle” running up my leg when I see him on TV, unlike Chris Matthews. What a sick set of rules there are for some and to hell with the majority. Barry says “I won”. NO YOU DIDN’T! YOU WERE BOUGHT! You will be owing a lot of people for many many years, and I am demanding you stop using the American Patriots as a scapegoat to get your way. You are a criminal, you are not an American, and you make me sick to my stomach.
This is my thoughts

Being a member of a group that lies, like ACORN is counter productive. It causes things like the sub-prime mortgage crisis to yell at banks and force them to give loans to people who can’t repay the money. Now that’s counter productive.
But it was o much fun to yel, not so much to be yelled at.

Thank you Susan – Something I neglected to put in that post was that the last 2 Republican presidents had served proudly in our military. The last 2 Democratic presidents never served a day. Clinton was a draft-dodger, and Obama was not a citizen so he couldn’t. Why hasn’t tht been brought out by the MSM? That tells a story unto itself. My husband served 21+ years proudly. My son served proudly as did my daughter. I am a proud of my military family. I am almost 70 years old, and it sickens me to see the path our great country is headed. I remember when GWB was in office, the left was showing pictures of him being beheaded, they burned him in effigy, and called him the most hateful names imaginable. When we say Obama lied to us, we are racists. What a bunch of crap. I have noticed that a notable CNN host has switched to FOX News Channel since Obama took office, and also another one (can’t remember what left-wing station he was on) is now a contributor at FOX. I really believe some of those anchors/correspondents/etc are waking up and taking a hard look at what is going on.
Just my opinion

Why would the left want to shut us up? Like Jerry Springer, talk loud and long (pure volume and sustained effort): a tactic used by those with nothing left to say. We aren’t talking brilliant people here.. just mob mentality. As that ladys sign said, “yelling is counter-productive.” Of course she says it while yelling, because the sign, “yelling is counter-productive” is not the issue, its a cause.

I’m a veteran and I will be attending the Specter Town Hall meeting Monday, August 17th in Philadelphia (Drexel Campus). I want to see for myself what happens at these events. I don’t think I’ll be able to get in; the event is scheduled for 8:30am and I plan on being there at 6am.
There are plenty of ACORN and SEIU characters in this city and they will probably be camping out overnight to make sure their ignorance will be on display.

I was there.
ACORN & Union people sat in chairs under the open sided, roofed entryway into complex in Kittaning. They had it “made in the shade” although, not all fit under shaded entryway, but still used chairs sitting in line and moving their seats as live moved. All others, mostly senoir citizens, stood on black topped parking lot with nary a cloud in the sky.
ACORN cheered and taunted others. Some persons replied back, but felt it was best to ignore them.
When questions were asked, my head wanted to explode! I could not take another “whats in it for me” question. 25 out of 30 questioneers were pro-socialist medicine.
Two questioneers, both pre-med students had opposing views:
1st. berated the “big bad inurance companies” for killing people by refusing insurance.
2nd Asked Specter why he should continue his schooling? Stating , he is already 1/4 of a MILLION $$$’s in debt and gov’mt is not only going to cap his salary, tell him where to practice but also exposed the little known fact of gov’mnt taking over the education of all medical field studies and of doctors. Using “affirmative action” gov’mnt will be recuiting people to become doctors and will pay for cost of education.
Specters’ lame exuce for not reading the bill is “it is a congressional bill and by the time it goes through committees it will read way differently than it does now”. When it gets to the Senate, I will read it then.
More scary is he said he is for it without reading it.

Why can’t just those why pay taxes get health benefits…how b’out that Obama and the rest of the health care reform starters??? NO seriously, this I could be in favor of, but not just letting any old person that comes to America, even the illegal’s to get healthcare and our taxes go up the roof???? No, sure, I will cont. to fight this…

Sorry for the long post, but a local group traveled over 6 hours to be at the Bozeman, MT event on Friday with Obama and company – I couldn’t go, but got this first hand report I recieved this morning –
I’m trying to formulate my thoughts on just what happened in Bozeman yesterday, for Obama’s visit. It was good and it was bad and I gather you deducted that just from your gleaning of hearing His Highness on the TV…It was soooo orchestrated and the Obama rally folks were bussed in on beautiful buses and were given SIGNs and were agressive folks overall. They shouted chants on bullhorns and got frenetic. We maintained our cool and didn’t back down and not nasty…They stole the spot that Bozeman Tea Party had CLEARED with the police department and airport way ahead of time. It was the better spot because it allowed more visibility..They (they the Obama side) showed up TWO hours BEFORE Obama’s visit. We all showed up, as planned, one hour before his visit. The police were all over the place but mostly near or at the Hangar. They could not at first control Obama’s crowd and actually asked our group to concede the spot to them. It wasn’t that the police were on their side, actually contrare, but they were overwhelmed and we conceded to keep the peace for all. Our group which was continually forming right next to them was growing and growing but we were disappointed that our group seemed less prepared and effective. We clearly were outnumbering them, but we had to wait for folks to arrive from all over with their own cars, their own $$ to get there and their own homemade signs.
At 11:40 a.m. VOILA the Calvary finally arrived and were they awesome! Bozeman Tea Party group mounted two giant speakers on top of a van decorated in banners of the American spirit. BTP team dispensed their great orators of their group and LOUDLY now, drowning out the smaller crowd with their pathetic ( now) bullhorns. What they had to say brought large cheers from the Anti Government Healthcare supporters…Then the sad reminder, endless lines of cars were now passing us going to the Hanger to be a part of the meeting that almost ALL conservatives were shunned from. As they passed and we were out there soaking wet from rain, holding our signs etc and our flags only to get cold stares and jeers from many of the cars passing by us to the hanger – we knew Obama’s Townhall was totally stacked against us. We even had his townhall meeting beeped out to us on our big speakers – many folks were so angry at the orchestrated bull that they ran to their cars and plugged their ears – however, it had to be broadcasted. So many times we were soaked to the bone not willing to give up our space and time to the Obama crowd – I was proud to stand with these wet and cold patriots of ALL ages. We had wonderful guest speakers and at least 3 from our group of 14 that caravaned up from Kalispell got to speak and we were applauded for driving up and joining them! After the rally ended, the busses took the Obama group home and many had left their “given signs” in a pile on the grass along with their trash….we were chilled but it wasn’t from the weather……..When I saw the TV shows my husband taped and saved for me of the event – nothing “nationally” was portrayed of the drama and true spirit going on outside the hanger from real Montanans and real Americans- only the orchestrated dribble from the left and their supreme Leader…. (hopefully local radio and T.V. gave it some coverage as they were there!) Linda J

I was there as well and the national coverage was done by the usual suspects. Nothing new here folks.
