Everyone needs to do some intense studying of Delphi 'Technique and Alinsky Method. Townhall meetings are NOT about voicing opinions. Townhall meetings are about forcing consensus.

And, yes, you are missing something. And yes, the time to sell it was before ramming it down the throats of the public.

1) They thought they could sell it but didin't count on quite so many people actually reading the pork barrel bill.

2) They need to sell it now because they are facing "vote out the incumbant" in a big way!

Ya know, I'm pretty sure I mentioned on this list that he was an active member of the Socialist Party for years. ~~ sigh ~~ Guess folks weren't listening then either.

So, when y'all planning on learning Chinese?

I log to Fox to check the news and see the headline "Time to Sell
Healthcare" alongside a pic of Pelosi and the teaser line reading:
'House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sends Dem lawmakers memo saying they should
convey the immediate benefits of health care to constituents while on
recess'.

Now, didn't we just debate this for months on end, held town hall
meetings, etc. for no reason at all? I mean the Dems had the majority
from the get go and could have passed this thing months ago. Correct me
if I am missing something here, but wasn't the time to sell healthcare
BEFORE the bill was passed?

And then the story that goes with the headline is this one:*

*http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/26/democratic-senator-health-care-law-address-mal-distribution-income/*

*Democratic Senator: Health Care Law to Address 'Mal-Distribution of
Income'*

My thinking is that is an interesting new term for socialism...what a
slap in the face. As a poor person, I don't want a charitable
contribution taken from the pockets of someone who possibly has worked
harder in life than I have. You do that, and pretty soon everyone is
poor and there is no longer anyone to start new businesses, boost the
economy, etc.

And then there is this..
Despite GOP objections, Obama uses recess appointments to fill 15 posts
without Senate confirmation,

Lovely...

I've changed my sig file back to share the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson...
