Grass Roots Or Astroturf?

So... what do you think of all of the Town Hall protests that are going on?

Grass roots movement?

Or manufactured?

The democrats truck in SEIU memberrs and give the floor to Phoney doctors. Pelosi manufactured claims of Nazi's and seemingly can't find one.

Yep... and it is the people against Obamacare that are being accused of manufacturing the protests.

In government always remember the rule of thumb. Whatever they say... the truth is the exact opposite.

The people are fed up and have taken a stand. The politicans were not expecting this.

That is from the Saul Alinsky socialism hand book. False accusations by Democrats are coming out in huge quantities. Obama is doing his share in false accusations. This week he told of docs doing foot amputations for 40,000 dollars. Lied by exageration. Many are getting under 1,000 dollars reimbursement on medicare.

Re: Grass Roots Or Astroturf?

a couple of important things to remember.

When the democrat leadership makes an accusation against their opponents, you can be sure that what ever they are accusing others of, they are actuall doing.

Astroturf being a classic example.

Also, there are millions of Americans that are getting really upset and are just beginning to engage politically right now. The more they are dismissed the more engaged they will become. The good news is, the bad guys are being dismissive and the good guys are the ones getting engaged.

I dont know if we will win this round over healthcare but I sure know that Barak Obama has re-energized the Conservative movement. the movement itself was either dead or too mature to matter.... It looks like that is now behind us.

Bad news for the uber liberal. Good news for America.
