re: #59 Desert Dog

The Republicans are encouraging people to “get in their faces” and to “hit back twice as hard”.

There is no doubt the Republicans are happy about the turnout at these meetings. I think some are even happy to see the looney-toons that are showing up too. But, I would venture a guess that almost all of these people are there because they are mad as hell, not because they got marching orders from “on high” or an email from the shop stewart.

There is a ground swell going on in this country. It is picking quite a bit of flotsam and jetsam along the way, but those people are just along for the ride…they are not driving it. The Republican leadership is not running this…nobody is. It is getting ugly, but that’s what happens when you try to mess with people the way Obama and his administration has.

No. There is a generated groundswell by very powerful, special interest groups that have a put tremendous amounts of money to make it happen. This is not organic. It is manufactured.
