The politicians are not asking their constituents, “What should we do about healthcare reform?” They are saying. “This is what we plan to do and why.”

[GaryC 7]

The good news is support for Health Care Reform is falling fast. It would be political suicide for the bluedogs to vote for it now.

Keep convincing yourself that, Gary. As Frank Lutz even said - if the GOP simply ignores the elephant in the closet (48 million uninsured), you've lost the battle. As clever as these planted political hacks disrupting Democratic Congressman's Town Hall meetings (funny...where were they during the GOP Town Hall meetings? hmmm)...all the dirty political tricks will not get you your agenda. You guys lost the election even when tried the same sh!t then (Obama's a Muslim, Obama the angry black man, etc). We will have health care reform passed for the end of the year and you guys will again have egg on your face...for the simple fact that your party has turned it's back on 48 million voting Americans.

You have gone beyond partisan and are now in the arena of tin foil hats if you think the anger at the town halls are just plants. How about them polls? Are those just the evil conservatives faking things? Step back from that kool aid sir, you have had enough.

There's proof out there that most of them are hacks, but anyone with both eyes and ears open, who listens to the rants from some of these people would realize they ain't talking about specifics but are acting hysterical over ideology. Some of them may just be regular Joe's who've been caught up in the Fox News driven hysteria, but I guarantee you - if you could actually question one of these ranters, you'd realize that they don't really have anything specific to gripe about over health care except on ideological grounds.

The fact is, Gary, unlike you, most Americans are NOT ideologues...and after 8 years of Republican control running our country into the ground, most Americans spoke their minds at the voting booth. Obama was very vocal up until the election about his agenda and what he intended on doing regarding such issues as health care. Try heeding your own advice and step away from Faux News long enough to realize just what a propaganda machine it really is.

Obama Used Plants In Health Care Town Hall

The second person "randomly" chosen for a question was a young girl. It turns out her mother, Kathleen-Manning-Hall, is a huge Obama supporter and friends with many Democratic insiders. You can see her to the right of her daughter in the above picture. She has denoted hundreds to Obama and went to the inauguration where she attended the Eastern Ball (pictures from her Facebook page)which the Obamas and Bidens also attended. Not surprisingly, Kathleen's daughter, Julia, had a prepared written question to read. Obama used this question to dismiss talk about "death panels that will pull the plug on Grandma."

Here are some of Julia's mother's Facebook connections:

Back to Kathleen's Facebook Page, here are some of her Facebook friends that I googled to see if they were Democratic insiders:

Martha Coakley, (Democrat) Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts http://www.marthacoakley.com/

Adam Parkhomenko, former aide to Hillary Clinton, Democrat running for VA House of Delegates (who has the support of the Brady Campaign, President Clinton and Wes Clark) http://voteadam.com/

Like Obama said: “I don’t want people saying I just have a bunch of plants in here.” Busted!

The comparison of Obamas town hall versus the rest is obvious.

I guess that must make me a Republican then... with all my Republican friends on FB.
