Nick Nichols has a great point in a column at TownHall today. He asks why we should trust a government with health care when it can’t even make money running a brothel and selling whiskey?

Well, like we been sayin’ for a long time…

Yes, the left wing organizations have been crying crocodile tears about the “organized” efforts of the “mobsters” who want to shoot down Obamacare.

I guess that is why it is so heartening to see them sending two bus loads of ACORN and union supporters to Arlen Spector’s town hall the other day. They surely are catching up to the “fascist right wing radicals”. They even had T shirt and ACORN buttons proudly worn by the throng, some who were actually from Pittsburgh! Way to go lefties! They even managed to have nicely printed signs that all matched….glory be! They were so nice… while they assembled outside in the 90 degree heat they only shouted really loud (using electric megaphones)at the senseless rabble that had come to pester poor old Senator Spector.

John Stossel has a wonderful phrase to explain ObamaCare: rank superstition!

If that doesn’t describe the proposed plans to a “T”, I don’t know what would.

Yeah, everyone’s lobbying for or against the Obamanation and getting paid for it. Except for those on the right and center who show up of their own volition and voice their disapproval of Congress and the Prez for trying to either shove this thing down our throats or up our backsides; these folks as far as I know aren’t being paid, and from what I can see don’t wanna be paid for their votes (unlike a couple of “grassroots organizations” and unions that are prominently displaying nazi/fascist tactics. The lobbyists against the congressional bill are doing it the same way the unions are, in the backrooms and out of the public eye. The difference is the pro-Obama lobbyists (SEIU, unions in general, ACORN, etc.) have access to both the congressional donks AND the Prez. Anti’s have access only to the minority Republicans and “blue dogs”. Why should they spend money on protesters? The protesters are doing it for free!

New definition for “astroturfing”: donkey politics as usual

Check out my re-post of Sammy Benoit's piece on this subject at LINK. Betcha Soros' smudged fingerprints are all over this one.

Regarding the Astroturfing incident in Houston, I just want people to know that I am from Texas and I am ashamed of Sheila Jackson Lee.

I’m wondering if in addition to paying the “volunteers” they also provide them with generous heath insurance benefits? After all, that’s a mandate they want to impose on greedy businesses.

They can organize & pay people to support ObamaCare but if the other side even attempts to mount an organized protest, they send out the ACORN radicals and Union thugs to create violence.
I have never in my life seen so much deception with smoke & mirrors and the endorsement of the MSM. When did truth become a four-letter word in journalism?
