The tactics used by Bush/Cheney in their attempts to "rule the world" are now being used by the Rethugs to destroy Obama's healthcare initiatives. A lot of it is their regular position of being "poor losers" and the rest is their usual practice of being bullies. The whole world recognized that L'il Georgie, with his lack of a sense of self-worth, was nothing more than a bully. Cheney's sense that he is perfect and "to-hell-with-everyone-else" attitude was just generally a bully all his life. The Rethugs evidently believe that's a good thing because it's what they are using in their attempt to destroy democratic (with a small "d") debate about health care. If you can't beat them with your brains, beat them with clubs and yelling . Don't forget to pack your guns, too!

If I was hosting a town hall meeting, and a piece of furniture stood up to question any of the provisions in the bill, I would ask that coffee table:

1) do you currently have health insurance?

assuming a "yes", because most do...

2) are you happy with your health insurance?

assuming a "yes" again because most don't even know what it costs

3) when this bill passes, do you plan on dropping your current coverage and buying into the gov plan?

assuming "no" because these folks would never admit using gov services

4) then why the f*** do you care, sit down, shut up and let's give an intelligent person the mic
