It’s about more than just healthcare,it is opposition to Obama’s Socialism
Recent town-hall uproars weren’t just about health care. They were also eruptions of concern that the government is taking on too much at once.
That suggests trouble for the president and his party,and fears of losses in next year’s midterm election are likely to shape the Democrats’fall agenda.
At August’s town-hall meetings,voters often started with complaints about health care,only to shift to frustrations about all the other things President Barack Obama and the Democrats have
done or tried to do since January. The $787 billion economic-stimulus package,the government-led rescue of General Motors Corp. and climate-change legislation all came in for criticism.
"A lot of the anxiety we face here has less to do with health care and everything to do with the overall state of the economy and government,"said Rep. Anthony Weiner,a New York Democrat.
"I have seen a level of dissatisfaction and even anger that I haven’t experienced in the years that I’ve been a member of Congress,"Sen. John McCain,an Arizona Republican,told an audience at
a health-care meeting in Kansas City on Monday.
Although the election is still far off,political forecasters predict that Democrats could run into trouble in the 2010 midterm vote.
Their predicting the DemoncRATS COULD "run into throuble in 2010"? Based upon the huge turnout at so many TEA Parties (watch the one on the 12th here in Washington D.C. overwhelm the nation's capitol!) as well as the heat generated at so many townhalls across the USA indicate to me the widely held shift to the right that may very well end up serving every official who signed the Spendulus bill without so much as first READING it the Donald Trump treatment (ie.,"you're FIRED!"),all in the good spirit of the statement once made by Winston Churchill who is on the record as having commented "Give them the boot!"–between this November and election day next year,I do believe we're about to see a huge shift to the right in government which it didn't take Newt to achieve,because We the People are tired of being deprived of our voice in government. We are about to see at long last a positive CHANGE…BACK tio fiscal and moral sanity!
