Shaken, not stirred!
They're at it again, folks.
The teabaggers once again massed in DC to protest....what exactly? Clearly, their various signs were aimed at Obama, but then things get kind of murky.
I ask this because you had GOP congressman Boehner saying that Obama's healthcare bill was the greatest threat to American freedom to date....which must have pissed off the Pentagon, who like to remind us all that Al Qaeda and it's friends and affiliates are still out there trying to kill us all. To emphasize his point, Boehner supposedly pulled a copy of the Constitution out of his pocket, and then began to quote the Declaration of Independence. Two separate documents, but I'm sure some neocon pundit or teabagger or birther or 9/12'er will offer a rationalization/justification for the error.

Then you had GOP congresswoman Bachmann rev up the crowd of stooges with talk of a revolution.

Now last time I checked, there's a procedure for the Congress and Senate to remove a sitting President....impeachment. They loved it so much with Clinton, why not use it again? And if you don't like a law, you go through Congress and the Senate to change it. Advocating a "revolution" without going through this process is tantamount to treason...especially when NOTHING has even been voted in yet. Someone should clue in old Michelle that essentially she's pushing for another Civil War because essentially rich folk will have to pay a little more into reforms that will save American live.
But what is all this for? As the insurance companies like things the way they are....which essentially can raise your rates, drop your coverage and deny your claims whenever they feel like it...with little to no oversight or justification. Don't like it? Well, just go to another insurance company...if your state has more than a few choices, and the other companies give you decent coverage for better rates. If not, TFB. Don't get sick, don't have an accident, and just save every penny you have....which by the way, won't mean jack as perscription, examination and hospital costs can and have bankrupted the average working class to middle class families.
So the folk that Boehner and Bachmann were preaching to like the status quo? I guess so, because the mantra many of them used was that they don't want they're tax dollars paying for someone elses healthcare.
But they had no problem with their tax dollars bailing out private investors when they Shrub told them to. And they have no problem with their tax dollars paying for good roads, water, food inspection, etc. for other people. Maybe because they themselves benefit from the same....just like they would under the Obama healthcare reform.
So far, this just doesn't sink in with them.
