I Calls 'Em the Way I Sees 'Em

There is a faction in America that will never be satisfied with anything President Obama does. This is why it has been so easy for the GOP leaders to get so many people to disrupt the town hall meetings. Healthcare reform has very little to do with it. If you watch closely, you'll see that most of the rabblerousers are older and on Medicare, even though they rale against "government run healthcare." Don't try to tell me they don't know that their Medicare comes from the government. It's just an excuse.

So, what is the real reason? When you look at those ugly, distorted faces, you realize that racism has reared its ugly head. That's where all the anger is coming from. The media's got it wrong. This is nothing like what happened in Florida in 2000, when the GOP sent in the Brooks Brothers Brigade to stop the vote count. Those people were having fun. Pranksters. Dirty-tricksters. The people at the rallys are haters.

And, so, I believe the town hall meetings should be canceled and other venues used to answer the legitimate questions about healthcare reform from legitimate constituents. Local television programming is one way for the Congressmen to explain their views. They already know the questions, if they've paid any attention to their e-mails, faxes, snail mail and phone calls. Or, failing that, if they just turn on CNN or the Nightly News or any of the other news programs.

The main reason I believe the town hall meetings should be canceled, though, is because if not, someone is going to be seriously injured or killed. It seems inevitable.

It's the anger. The hatred. The racism.

Stay tuned.
