Republican Siege??

The media as well is busy making statements with no regard to facts. They state quite simply and with all confidence that the inundation of town hall meetings is by republicans. Yet even as they report this they do not scour carefully enough what they say. On one news site they stated that constituents had gotten robocalls to go to the town hall meeting. It does not say that republicans had gotten this call, but rather that constituents had gotten this call.

Because the media reports that it is right wing and republican, extremists/mobs, that is of course what is accepted, but they do not give a single fact to back this up. They have not polled any of the people attending to find out what percent are republicans, democrats, independents, etc. They do not even seem to care. They are far more concerned with their agenda and that of Obama that we have public health care. They quite determined to make sure the bill goes through.

Our non-representing representatives are choosing to believe their own propaganda. They must know these "mobs" are not actually mobs, but very concerned citizens who don't want them to vote for this bill. All they need to do is ask themselves if they've ever seen a phenomena like this before?

It is understandable why they would think this was organized. They cannot help but think this because this is the only way they ever get anything done. They do community organizing, organizing gay and lesbian groups, animal rights groups, Hispanic groups, all to push some agenda they have and because this is the onlly way they know to make it appear they have wide support for their unpopular views they assume the other side must now be doing the same thing. Whether there is any evidence for this or not they intend to say it and then will probably try to plead ignorance later on when they find they have no support they will claim they dind't know. Like everything else they can't be bother to find out what the American people want by asking them directly. They feel the need to get all their information from liberal media polls, as though those things are so reliable.

This is just one more indication to me that they really are not interested in what the American people think, they appear to only want the people to accept what they say as what is best for them. in my opinion they behave as though they know better than we do what is best for us. They seem to think we are little different than misguided children who need their all knowing guidance.

One cannot help but wonder how these people made all their money and became rich if they can't budget. I do not believe it's that they can't budget well, but rather that they choose not to. They have other agendas. They seem to have always viewed themselves as societal parents taking care of poor foolish children.

I have reached the point that I would rather vote for a next door neighbor at random than vote for any one of them, democrat or republican. They have shown they are not responsible with the trust the people have put in them. They do not read the bills. Their excuses are as lame as that they don't have the time because something has to be done quickly. If it isn't that it's some foolish non-representing representative saying what's the point of reading the bill since you'd need several days, several people and 2 lawyers to read it. There is hardly a member of congress who doesn't have a law degree. I guess they're asking us to believe that they only got honorary degrees and didn't actually study to get them.

Normal people have been reading through the health care bill and posting what they've found. Yes, our wonderful leaders try to make it as complicated and confusing as possible, I suppose in the hope that no one will bother to read or find out what is in the bills or that they won't even be able to understand them.

The question also arises, if they don't know what's in the bills doesn't that indicate that someone else is writing the bills. If this is the case then maybe we should be looking to the ones that wrote the bills for information as to what is in them.

It is also a very sad state of affairs when our media who pay large numbers of people for just this sort of thing have no idea what is in the bills. Fox News has at least half a dozen lawyers on staff, but not one of them has reported on anything they've found in the bills. It has been the common man from main street America that has had to find this information and post it on the web for the rest of us to read. This of course leads me to ask what is the point of the news media then? I'm sure they'll cover the latest sexual harassment suit, or go on for weeks about someone who fell off a boat wanting to know what happened to them as though this affects every American, but when it comes to bills that really will affect every American the media including Fox News are nowhere to be found. But they certainly need to cover the latest youtube video of a man on a slip and slide going off a ramp almost 100 feet in the air into a wading pool. Now that's national NEWS. Are these people insane?!

Beside Glenn Beck and a few other talk show hosts almost nothing of the madness is being covered. And because those voices are so few they can be easily brushed aside as kooks. There is of course no one ot hold the media accountable except the market place. The problem with that is that those of us that want any scrap of information about what's really going on in the world will watch and listen in the hope that something of importance will slip through, and every so often it does. It should not be the exception that this happens, but sadly it is.

The media, again including Fox News is so afraid to declare that the emporer has no clothes that even they won't cover and find out once and for all whether Obama is indeed qualified to be president on his natural born status. The simple reasoning that if the president has provided SO MUCH evidence regarding this issue then where is it and why has he so effectively blocked any further access to that information. After all if it's already out there it should be easy to find and prove, which would shut the "birthers" up. It's because the information cannot be found anywhere and the media (including Fox News) are afraid to appear foolish. All Gibbs has to do is label it the concern of conspiracy theorists and the media won't touch it.

The watch dogs are sleeping while the foxes are raiding the hen house and all we can do is wait to be eaten by the foxes.

I say now is the time for every american to contact their non-representing representatives and let them know what you think whatever that may be. There is still some hope that our leaders may actually wake up. I'm of the mind at this point that even if they do wake up on one or two issues they've already proven themselves unworthy and need to be voted out of office at the soonest possible opportunity.

It is a simple thing to get rid of them. If everyone just votes for anyone but the incumbent we will have a whole new congress. The party is not nearly as important as the country!
