Sorry I am so late with this, after prodding from a coworker, I finally watched it. This is my take:
Hello, we are from the Government, you know, the ones who are stealing 15.3 % of your wages so that we can give back to you when you are older. About that last Social Security statement that you got – we admit that we are going broke and “we need to resolve these issues soon”, still no idea how to do that, but oops – hey stuff happens, you know.
Anyway, we have a new car that you will be buying from us, we call it healthcare. Here is a picture of what our designers say they will be trying to make it look like, sorry about the resolution, but if you squint you can sorta see it. We are not sure what engine, transmission, seats, wheels, tires, cupholders, A/C or carpet will be included, but will try to make sure that everyone has one. We are going to sell this to you soon, but don’t bother pulling out your checkbook yet, we have no idea what it will cost you.
Now, in the spirit of recycling – If you aren’t mad, you are not paying attention, or you are on the payroll.

Members of congress are being booed and people are standing up for their rights ... as they should. This is a serious matter and do we really want the government running almost 30% of our economy? NO!
The sad part is ... these liberals are so self centered that they do not care what people say (even though they are suppose to be representing us) and will just blindly foloow their dictator and vote for what people do not want. There is no reason that we should have a massive overhaul to the best healthcare in the world and put it in the control of the government.
Obama and his administration is out of control and are looking at this as an opportunity to take more power, rather than what is right for the people of our great nation that was born on freedom and liberties for all.

WW you say this is an example of "people standing up for their rights", can you honestly say you would post the same thing if it were a group of liberals shouting down say, Sarah Palin? Tell the real truth from your heart of hearts.

Is Sarah proposing the takeover of 30% of our economy? I think not. Who is your healthcare provider Archie? How much do you personally pay for it and, are you in favor of turning it over to the guv'ment? Inquiring minds want to know.

Did you listen to what these two clowns were saying? There is no bill yet, the Senators staff will read different parts of it WHEN it is complete, then he will vote for it because they have to pass it quickly. If you do not see this as a Major Mongolian CF, I would suggest thinking about it.

Please carefully read the post. My question was not about healthcare reform. It was about whether WW and others like him would feel the same way about left wingers disrupting a conservative as he does about right wingers disrupting liberals and moderates. He thinks the latter is an example of "speaking their mind". I suspect he would call the former something like "mob rule" or "socialist intimidation".
Now, as for my healthcare insurance, it has been a "government" plan for almost 2 years. Medicare, and it is by far the best plan I have ever been under. You know, if you add up Medicare, VA, Military, s-chip, Federal workers, etc you will find that almost 1/3 of insured Americans are now under a government run insurance program and that even with all their flaws, these plans are cheaper, more efficient, have far less administrative costs and higher approval ratings by users than do the private provider programs. Do some research of your own if you dare and learn the truth.

Medicare, s-chip, Federal workers - are NOT administered by the Government - that task is farmed out to private insurance companies, Tricare not sure of.

Why does sarah palin come out of your mouth everytime someone comments on something. What does she have to do with anything now. And yes, if sarah palin was proposing, supporting, drafting, whatever you want to say ... I would be just as much against it and agreeing that people are doing the right thing to stand-up and be heard.
But we are not talking about someone being shouted down during a campaign speech. We are talking about "elected" law makers going to address the people that put them in office and are suppose to be representing them. Two totally different things. People need to be sure the law makers that represent them hear what they want. I did not see a lot of support for any of the liberals that are out talking to people about the take over of healthcare. So either there is not a lot of support or they just decided to stay home and be quite. Not what liberals normally do.
You should go to one of the town hall meetings to show your support and be heard.

Cheaper? More efficient? Lower admin costs? Higher approval? I wasn't aware of that. Please point me to your sources (white house web sites excluded). Thanks

I am happy for you that a government program works for you ... it does not for many others. But even if it did, my private insurance works for me and does for many others too ... so why should I want the government to control it, change it, or force me on to a government run program.
Let them addre4ss the problems in healthcare ... not create some massive new government run program that requires 1,000 pages to say what it is and controls 30% of our economy. No I do not what government controling 30% of the economy ... capitalism and free enterprise is always what I will favor. Government running ANYTHING that free enterprise can run is socialism and it is wrong in my eyes. They can establish laws that protect people and require governemnt review ... but no I do not want government to run the program. It has NOT worked ANYWHERE else successfully and no place even close to the size of the United States.

And to be even more descriptive, the Major Mongolian CF is surrounded by a Left Wing Liberal CJ!

And all of the afore-mentioned programs are basically bankrupt. And please don't use the VA plan to further your cause. They are an abomination pure and simple.
