Town Halls

This week, all the talk's been about the so-called "Town Hall" meetings that have been taking place across the country to "discuss" the President's health care proposals.

Of course, "discuss" isn't exactly what's been going on, but there've been groups of people showing up for one purpose or another!

If you've gone to one of the Obama-led meetings, you were hand-picked because you're able to shake a pom-pom and ask puffball questions that the Comedian-in-Chief can handle without his teleprompter telling him what to think!

If you went to a Shirley Jackson-Lee meeting, you learned that it's okay in "Shirley World" to ignore your constituents by answering your cell phone in the middle of a cancer survivor's question and then go on Greta Van Susteren's show a little later and lie about it while being equally rude to Greta!

If you went to Benedict Arnold "Arlen" Specter's town hall meeting, you're still "waiting a minute" since he told one poor old dude who had apparently been promised an opportunity to speak to "wait a minute" about 3500 times. If you're waiting all the minutes he told you to, you should be free to move about your home sometime next Thursday!

In all but the Obama-choreographed meetings, it should be apparent that America does not want and does not feel that it needs Obamacare! I've said before that I think it would be a good idea for them to clean up their Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security messes before they start another one, but that doesn't seem to be what they want! Frankly, as I've said before, I think they should phase Medicare and Medicaid out altogether and let market forces determine the cost of health care without the artificial influences of those "price-fixing" government entities, but, much like Social Security, it's not likely to happen as long as the elderly depend on the programs as they apparently do.

So sad to be fed a bill of goods like that! Sadder still that now we've all been suckered into placing ourselves into this situation where they can force this crap down our throats whether we want it or not!

Is it 2010 yet?
