It’s pretty obvious that the Dems aren’t happy being on the receiving end of the kind of protests they themselves were orchestrating during the Bush years. For the last few days they’ve been running around like mad, labeling everyone who disagrees with the President’s health care plan part of a lying, out of control mob. Barbara Boxer, however, has an different bone to pick with the anti-health care crowd. According to the California Democrat, they’re too “well dressed.”
Evidently, Boxer prefers her protesters to be of the old-school, pot smoking hippie variety, and these new-fangled well dressed activists have frightened and confused her. She claims their sole goal is to “hurt president Obama,” and says she hasn’t seen such well dressed people “doing this” since she was in Florida during the recount fiasco.
Hmmmm they were difficult to dismiss back then, too. Maybe they’re onto something. Perhaps they’ve decided that they’ll be taken more seriously if the don’t look like they crawled away from the lawn seating at a Dave Matthews concert.
Babs has clearly forgotten that “Dissent is the Highest Form Of Patriotism,” an axiom the Dems loved to spout during the wild Iraq war protests faced by the previous administration.
I suggest someone send her this bumper sticker, available at every one’s favorite liberal supply shop, Irregular Goods.

We first heard from the birthers, with their fake “birth certificate” in hand and with their fake outrage. These are the same under tones that you saw from Republicans during the confirmation hearings for Sonia Sotomayor, “you are not like us” or “you are too different”, “you are not main stream”. And then they act surprised when people do not vote with them, they are lost, no core beliefs, too bad.
In my opinion the Republican Party has been taken over the most extreme religious right (people who love to push their beliefs on others while at the same time trying to take away their rights) and that’s who they need to focus on if they real want to win. Good Luck, because as they said in WACO, “We Ain’t Coming Out”.
It’s funny we hear Republicans say that they do not want “faceless bureaucrats” making medical decisions but they have no problem with “private sector” “faceless bureaucrats” daily declining medical coverage and financially ruining good hard working people. And who says that the “private sector” is always right, do we forget failures like Long-Term Capital, WorldCom, Global Crossing, Enron, Tyco, AIG and Lehman Brothers. Of course the federal government will destroy heathcare by getting involved, Oh but wait our military men and women and the Senate and Congress get the best heathcare in the world, and oh, that’s right, its run by our federal government. I can understand why some may think that the federal government will fail, if you look at the past eight years as a current history, with failures like the financial meltdown, Katrina, and the Walter Reed Scandal but the facts is they can and if we support them they will succeed.
Spoken like someone who’s never set foot in ANY V.A. hospital. The military gets the best care in the world? Hardly.
Even if they do, when they join up, they sign away virtually ALL of their constitutional rights. Glad to know so many are willing to piss away their freedom to save a few bucks on insurance.
