First of all, Debra, you are my new hero! My wife and I attended the Ft. Valley dog and pony show.My first impression was identical to Bill Wallers. I told my wife that for someone who hasnt decided yet on which way he leans he sure did put forth a grade A sells pitch for it. Billy Mays would sure be proud! Gang,ya’ll saw him. You heard him. Just another useful idiot in the agenda to destroy Americas industry, its competiveness and the great enduring spirit of her people. You see what the game plan is, house passes a version with the public option, senate passes without it. In committee they will put it all back together again and it will be the law of the land, while they grin at us on tv and tell us how the 2 party system has worked again. The fight hasnt even begun yet gang. This is going to happen, its going to be up to US to stop this mess…Together as one voice.And I completely agree with cartman, Bishop is scared.Keep it up!

Very telling first-hand account of Obama’s Montana town hall:

I agree Bill, WE are the term limits! WE have neglected our duty, quietly taking care of our daily lives for the past 20 years and now we are dealing with the results.
WE can change the course we are on IF we are willing to be an active participant in the process. This means a lot less time at home, more time networking and educating our citizens. Do you want change enough to sacrifice your personal time?

Cartman,
What does it say about us is exactly right! It is easy to point the blame for the direction of this country, but we have nobody but ourselves…the people that keep sending these clowns to Washington…to blame. I’ve heard twice this week that we need term limits. While that is a great idea, a Constitutional Convention can be avoided if WE just do OUR job!

Bishops’s ineffectiveness is actually embarrassing Moe. Because, what does it say collectively about us?

I agree Bill. Bishop is vulnerable and he is justifiably worried, but just don’t underestimate the task. What astounds me are the number of people who are clueless. I have more respect for those on the opposite side of an issue than for those in political comatose.

I have previously said, “Self-interest and apathy are formidable foes.”

Debra…thanks for explaining objectively in more detail. I’m not sure my speculation is any different, but at least you were given a warning first and the officer was “nice.”

Cartman, first of all, I agree. Bishop’s mind was made up before the town hall meetings. They are just for show. You bring up a very good point…one that I have pondered as well. How many members of Congress with that much tenure is as impotent as Bishop?

Cartman,
It blows my mind how people think that he is unbeatable. This was the first time that I actually got to hear him talk. We should petition that he gets kicked out of the Blue Dog Coalition if he votes for this fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation.
