I'm going and am going to be screaming that Republicans are trying to kill Americans by forcing us to go to corporate death panels that determine if we live or die!!!

Wait, they're already doing that.....

I am going to show up naked with a picture of Barney Frank with a hitler moustache and Adam Smith with devil horns. Then I am going to ask Mr. Smith about that lame book he wrote called The Wealth of Nations that all of his Libertarian buddies who are opposed to Obamacare always quote.

Who wants to bring a poster calling Sarah Palin a Nazi Child Molester?

Oh, And that John McCain faked his service in Vietnam?

but but the really big secret thing about obamacare is it's going to authorize teh youth in asia panels all up on your gran'ma.

and then

One day God's going to stand before you, and he's going to judge you and the rest of your damned cronies up on the Hill. And then you'll get your just desserts. I'm leaving.

I said harumph, sir.

@5: Buy all the asses you want. There's a catharsis coming to this country and I don't think either side is going to be pleased with the outcome.

@6, well no shit! This is just the side show to keep us entertained while the lower decks fill with water.

make sure you are in front of a camera when you remind us that God wrote our Constitution and Jesus has blessed the private insurance industry. & like Jesus they should be able to insure who they damn well please.

oh, and then tell him,
"You have awakened a sleeping giant"

"I don't want this country turning into Russia, turning into a socialized country."

because we will not sit idly by "As Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America"

they'll eat that right up.

I'm taking a can of gas and a Bic lighter......
just because it's legal to carry.

compare the two sides.

On the right, sharp clear compelling words, like no government takeover, death panels, etc. Spurred by Palin, echoed by 100 elected officials, picked up by delueded plain old folks. Sharp, clear, you know what they're for, and who's the villain.

On our side:
no clear message.
no coordination.
grass organizing is via some guy in Seatle seeing some people fasting in Santa Monica, then some other guy in Seattle urges people to go to an Adam Snmith town hall and yell about something, but there's no clear message. we don't even know, is Adam Smith on board with the vaguely defined public option? is HE who we're supposed to yell at? Or for? Who? What? Gee, dunno, just hey everybody go and show up!!

What's totally amazing is how Obama in 2 years could figure out the most arcane complex set of rules imaginable to get delegates to win the nomination, and mobilize thousands of people in West Seattle, thousands of people in North Seattle, thousands of people in freaking Bellingham and Anacortes and Tacoma AND Olympia, to go SHOW UP at caucuses and stuff.

Maybe we don't particularly feel like yelling for a deal with insurance companies?

Maybe watching a big pharma ad touting Cantwell and Murray as supporting a responsible bipartisan solution made us all vomit?

Is THAT the message we're supposed to yell in support of? "We DEMAND a repsonsible bipartisan solution, with insurers at the Table!"

"Who do we want?"
"Insurers!"
"Where do we want them?"
"At the Table!"

gee how rousing......

Wait ... are you saying we should skip Dow Constantine's wine tasting event to go do this?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Waitaminute! PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE??? The Constitution is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

WAIT A MINUTE! Do you realize Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Bedlam) proposes to DEFEAT health care reform by resort to prayer and fasting?

... it was Bachmann’s fervent call to utilize prayer and fasting to beat back health-care reform efforts that was the true highlight of the call.

“That’s really where this battle will be won — on our knees in prayer and fasting,” she told the listeners. ...


So, how's about a fasting cage match to decide the issue? We're not going to let these right-wing no-nothings out-wimp us, are we?

@12 - I hear the Constitution is written on Hemp.

So maybe it is also against the War on Drugs?
