Lots of older folks who are already on a socialized health care plan they are not willing to give up. But yet they go and protest against socialized medicine. If ignorance was money this country would have no economic worries whatsoever.

My friend you forgot to add the link, unless the tube link is the news stories.
I am very surprised that unions are to take to this task, after all what the unions had to do with all this.
I am just wondering, still when you have angry people nobody is going to stop them from protesting.
The White House confirmed that Obama would hold the town hall on Aug. 11 somewhere in the Portsmouth area. No further details were immediately available.
The president has been traveling to different states to pitch his health care reform plan directly to voters. Last week, he visited North Carolina and Virginia for town hall meetings, and on Wednesday, he was in Indiana.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate's most powerful Democrat on Thursday scolded health care protesters dogging his party's lawmakers at local meetings, arguing that some critics on the political right have run out of ideas—and ditched their civic manners. Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada accused the protesters of trying to "sabotage" the democratic process.

I have seen a few presidents in my time, but never have I seen one who:
Sets up a special email account for 'snitches' that disagree with him
Calls in his paid-off union thugs as 'enforcers' at town hall meetings.
Disgusting.
I find it fascinating how these protest quikly turned into Democrats vs. Republican protests...
I hate unions, being part of one myself, I see all the things that are truly wrong and this is one of them. I pay $600 a year to be a part of my union and a good chunk of that goes to the PAC, (Political Action Commitee).

Unions To Take On Conservative Groups Health Care Town Halls
Everyone does know the only reason the unions are behind this Democrat sponsored stupidity is because they will not be affected by this 'healthcare' bill, right? Obama and Congress have already assured the unions and their members that they will still be allowed to keep their, by Barry's & Congress' standards, luxury healthcare packages with none of the penalties Barry & Congress are going to impose on all nonunion private healthcare packages. I have a feeling we're gonna see some blood spilled before this is over.
I will never figure out why the extreme right doesnt want nationalized health care.
