Buried in that “stimulus/cap and tax/every other recent Dem” Bill nobody botheredwas allowed to read?

When did these rules get passed?

The administration is implementing an Eco/Liberal takeover reminiscent of Mussolini’s Corporate Fascism in 1920/30’s. The parallels are absolutely striking!

An astute observation, to say the least.

Look for at some point later this summer, perhaps in Fall, for the Administration to try to take over Wal-Mart. The Left has spent years demonizing Wal-Mart, at the behest of the SEIU. They’ll trump up some sort of “Wal-Mart” is an exploitative corporation that is taking advantage of its employees and America in general” to validate their move.

The guys in Bentonville sense this, hence their most recent move to stay ahead of the health-care movement. They don’t want to be seen as obstructionist. But, just look at the Leftists memes and you’ll see they have already been marked for take down.

How about calling it for what it is…a DNC/White House Dog and Pony Show…complete with well-versed shills.

The more Dear Leader perverts this forum, the less effective it becomes. He can’t seem to understand what works in a campaign doesn’t fit the office.

These things are elaborately staged to look like they are not staged. The only transparency we get from the White House is their transparently staged engagement with “real people”‘

Love that post!

Again, Hot Air gets it right!
Obamateurism of the Day:
Hey, what do Helen Thomas and Chip Reid know? Both of them accused the White House of staging a phony town hall on health care yesterday, before the event began. Robert Gibbs couldn’t contain…

All turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration

I held on to my stomach while I forced myself to watch most of town hall meeting. I believe that to know your enemy is to be forearmed so I suffered through as much of it as I could.

Mr. Obamas phony baloney town hall meeting was revoltingly one sided with all the people nodding their heads and clapping gleefully with every thing he said as if he was some divine prophet. Anyone with half a mind could see the fix was in and this was all carefully scripted. His answers to questions sounded like he had rehearsed them over and over with talking points and little substance. He got serious about how everyone’s health insurance would be in jeopardy should his plan not go through. He gave long drawn out answers and no one called him on anything, they just let him drone on and on clapping, taking pictures, and laughing with him.

It doesn’t surprise me now to hear the make up of the audience. It was as plain as day and Helen Thomas (I can’t believe I am saying this) is right as rain on this one.

If I did not know you Lox, then something like your response would have called for a respectable retribution.

Although I must say that you have been quite the intellectually domesticated donkey lately.

Give us are liberty back or you shall be exiled!

How dare you question our liberty to send you DHS camp!

And it’s not working for Obama on healthcare.

What else does Obama have but anecdotal stories of hardship that resonates with you misguided public plan supporters. Town halls, especially staged ones, are perfect to trot out people who would presumably benefit from government overreaching its authority and destroying the healthcare system.

The serious part of healthcare reform- like funding mechanisms, extent of reform, costs v. savings discussions are not sexy. They don’t come with a little story about a 68-year-old auto worker eating dog food to afford the meds. Nevertheless, this is the adult part of the debate and one that the filthy liar in the White House and his supporters for socializing the system DO NOT want to have because it drills down into details. Rationing is a big part of Obama’s savings which means that the 68-year-old may not get meds at all because of age and the cancer patient may have to wait years to get treatment.

For that reason we will continue to have story time with the President- complete with milk, cookies, and naptime afterwards.

The reason so many corp. types(see Walmart & mandated health care) are willing go along with this administration is they are scared to death of it and would rather jump on the band wagon than get run over buy it. They only need look at the bullying of GM’s & Chrysler’s shareholders and the smackdown of Ahnold by Obama & Andy Stern(SEIU)to see the hand writing.

I agree with the sentiment, but hope they don’t use the slogan. Slogans are phony. And we’ve had about as much phony as the country can stand. I’d suggest something a little more down-to-earth, such as Socialism or Capitalism–You Decide.

We can have a slogan contest.
