I believe I was lambasted on here for making a remark regarding how many of the people who take part in the Tea Party Protests are morons and that my comments were an attack on highly educated women (or something to that affect).

Making less than the average doesn't neccessarily mean that they'll benefit from the plan. They may work hard to just get by without government assistance and are afraid about being taxed more. A lot of people are nervous because they don't know how it's going to affect them.

Don't necessarily disagree with you.

I saw some interviews with Reno protest this past weekend and some of the folks they interviewed were unemployed and getting benefits including foodstamps. I didn't bring them up b/c the sample was so small it was meaningless.

Didn't read the poll but does it mention if they are on welfare or have jobs?
Are they paid by a union to appear at rallies or are they paying there own way?
Did they get off an Acorn bus or drive themselfs?

Such a large group to be only made up of hardworking, poor,uneducated, right wing nuts. Now add in the educated independent voters, wealthy hardworking people and the self employed entrepeneurs and Obama and the Dems are clearly in deeeeep sh$t.

The only way to balance that out is..................Amnesty.

I love that column. Lumping all people pissed at the healtchare bill into violent right wing extremists. And for chuckles throw in the race/gender card. yes, we are all mad that an aftican american passed this bill and that a woman was behind it, sure.
funny that the majority of the country voted for Obama and are also against the bill! How does race figure into that? This country belongs to those that EARN it. Obama is giving it way to those that DONT!

Maybe it will be "soon" Nebe, but you'd better be looking at another career. Im pretty sure your clientele is affluent and only spends discretionary $. "Soon" those dollars will be going to pay the health care bills of others and also the Bush tax cuts will expire, giving more money to Obama and well...... less to you
