People REALLY angry about health care don't have time to go to the town halls
They are too busy WORKING to pay for their medical issues out of pocket.

This should be beaten like a drum, right over the heads of teabaggers, turfers, birthers and the industry that funds them at the meetings!

1. some are and some aren't, but there still should be enough people who support health care
reform to come to the town meetings to voice there opinion. More people support it than don't.

3. Victories are won by the motivated, elections are won by those who actually get out and vote.
With the town hall meetings it certainly seems like the shrill bullies and disruptors are the ones who are motivated. From the get-go there should have been as many if not more supporters of healthcare reform at these meetings, especially in Democratic districts.

5. Yeah - this has been a complaint of the right for a long time
that our protesters, anti-war, anti free trade and the like, are a bunch of bums who have time to go protest in stead of work.

I don't know that I buy it.

6. Thank goodness they don't show up. The anger level is high enough as it is.
