i really wish there was a way of giving these teabaggers the healthcare that Republicans truly want them to have.

this.

i'd love these so-called "fiscal conservatives," (90% of whom were minted on january 20, 2009) to man-up and call for the end of government-run health care, a.k.a. medicare, medicaid and tricare. considering 40% of americans already get their health care from the govt, that should be a winning strategy for the GOP.

"If it flops, it wasn't my fault. If it succeeds I was the guy behind it all along."

No, I'm more expecting her "protesters" to bring weapons with them. Also, someone needs to check this "protest" to make sure it isn't full of Republican staffers. They've done that trick before.

I believe she has told them to "leave their pitchforks, but bring their cameras".

I'm just hoping that she crosses the Cynthia McKinney line and gets her ass removed.

Huh. FTFA:

In contrast to the Sept. 12 tea party protest in Washington, which was sponsored by conservative groups like FreedomWorks and the National Taxpayers Union, Thursday's "house call" is an official House Republican affair - and Democrats say that ought to make the GOP uneasy.

Asked whether he welcomes the protest, Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), assistant to the speaker, said: "I am not going to encourage or discourage it at this point, but I think what this does is show America that you've got the most right-wing voices drowning out the pragmatists."

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who last month tried to publicly dissuade gay rights activists from marching on Washington, said that he sees the health care protesters as similarly misguided in their tactics. While Frank gives credit to the Republicans for "self-knowledge" - "they need the help" - he says they are looking for it in the wrong place.

"They are an example of a principle I have tried to get activists to understand: The more emotionally satisfying you find an activity, the less it advances your cause," Frank says.

I find it funny that House Democrats are putting forth THEIR concerns eloquently, while teabaggers and some of the frantic people in the town hall meetings can only respond with "OMG PANIC WHARRGARBL!!!1!ELEVEN!"

Are there any Republicans responding with this measure of decorum and introspection? I'm not trolling, I just really want to know.

/willing to bet that list consists of Sens Collins and Snowe, honestly...

Dear Taser Gods,

I know that I don't speak to you often. And we both know that I haven't been to Taser Church in quite some time.

But, I try to lead a good life, and I try my best to treat others as they treat me. I am doing my best to be worthy in thy sight.

So, if I can ask you for anything, please, please grant your blessings in copious amounts to these brave Descent Patriots as they attempt to get enthusiastic in a tightly controlled federal building. Preferably near some television cameras so that others may know your benevolence.

Should you grant my prayers, I will build several animatronic monuments in your honor.

The problem with them is that they abuse the latitude the laws afford us - for attention, publicity, and $$$s at the expense of gays. Who knows if they even truly believe what they speak?

Actually:

In an unrelated incident, nine activists were arrested in the Hart building, and they are being processed at police headquarters, but Roll Call is reporting that these were protesters from the opposite end of the political spectrum - Code Pink. All the buildings in the Capitol complex remain open for now. Link

Is it a man? A woman? Post op? Is this what Drew Carey does when The Price is Right isn't on? Either way, it wants to make sweet, slow, passionate love to your freedoms and shoot a load of liberty on your back.
