Are Republican-Orchestrated "Town Hells" Advancing The Healthcare Debate Or Destroying It?

I do not understand why you just assume it is only republicans at these town halls. Demorcratic leaders are the ones putting them on to find out what thier constiuents believe and want. I do not believe they are loading up thier own audiances with predomantly republicans. Thier areas are most likely democrate since they got elected by mostly democrates.
Why can not those in charge and you began to understand it is not a politcal party issue, but people of all the different parties are concerned with how this is moving forward with little regard to the public at large.

The American people are not as astute as we may think. they have a tendency to listen more to those who scream the loudest, just like the tendency to vote for celebrity over substance. The town hall meetings are about to get a lot more raucous - just watch and see. The supporters of reform are organizing at this minute. The screamers will have to be able to shout a lot louder and push a lot harder to get through.

It is a showcase of just how the GOP has become the party of spoiled brats. We can't have it our way, so we'll scream about it and won;t go along with anything. This great country has been led down a path of near destruction by the GOP. They can scream all they want about "liberal media", but who owns the media - the Republican Party donors, like poor 'ol Rupert Murdoch. The media has not challenged the GOP on the issues. They are against all that Obama pushes, but have absolutely no idea how to fix anything.

In the end, we will have some type of reform and the GOP babies can go home and suck their thumbs some more. Like Jim Carville said, they will be irrelevant for twenty years. In the mean time, the GOP cowards like Boss Rush and Cheney can cry some more.

The Republicans and Democrats are the equivalent of two mob families fighting each other.

Nothing the Democrats haven't done before. Both sides play this game.

What makes you think that it is orchestrated by the republicans? Who said that fairy tale is true? There are a lot of P*****d of democrats attending these meetings and they are letting their feelings be known. The false paradigm of democrat vs republican is breaking down. There are so many people showing up in protest , that the halls cannot hold them all. It is all over you tube. Go Americans!!

Violence has never been good for the cause other than direct effects of power.

I don't know. Why can't they just see that it is for their own good. The government will do an awesome job with healthcare. Look at the great way Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security turned out. I hope something like the Action T4 program will be part of the government's plan!

Why can't we just pass government health care and get back to protesting the war and the evil capitalists that expect to be paid for the work they do?
