When you make a show of having a "randomly selected" audience for a public town hall, this stinks like day old dog poop.
This is social engineering and should be called out and ridiculed no matter who does it.
Call out McCain.
If McCain was president and trying to ram through a 1000 page bill that was a fascist takeover of our healthcare system, I would.
He's not.

What an absolutely fantastic example of a loaded question - it's so typically political that she must be a plant - I mean what kid would even think of asking a question like that, it has everything.
If you accept the question at face value without thinking about it, then subconsciously you are agreeing with the statements contained within the question - a typically Bernays method of swaying public opinion:
"As I was walking in I saw a lot of signs outside saying mean things about reforming healthcare. How do kids know what is true and why do people want a new system that can help more of us".
It creates them & us (us being people who want a new system that will help more of us - ie, the good guys - & them being the nasty people who say mean things & don't want to help more people - who do you want to be - a good guy who wants to help more people or someone mean?)
I also love how she asks how do they know what is true & then makes the statement "(why do) peopel want a new system...." in the same sentence.

You think things are PATRIOT ACT (pre-Democrat induced revision) bad???
Sir, no way. No way, prior to a million months of Sundays when hell has frozen over and pigs are the eco friendly airliners we've hoped for is an Obama Healthcare reform bill more dangerous than having Hilter Mk II at the helm of the free world. Not a chance. Ever.
I'd save any knee-jerk reactions until this reform bill fails and millions of Americans realise just what they have just lost out on (i.e. The chance of getting fair healthcare and not being screwed by 'growth driving' insurance companies). Healthcare should be a right (a GOD GIVEN right, even under your constitution) - and not a privelege where average people can be easily outpriced or outdone by big business "policy" in favour of increasing a bottom line.

pulling trash like this since his campaign...
Do you truly believe he invented this method of politics?
Are you clueless to the last 60 years of American politics?
Again, am I missing something?
