We need video cameras at every town hall meeting that will document the activities of these rabble rousers, lawlessness should not be tolerated specially from those who stand to gain politically through intimidation and harrassment.

Obama made a campaign promise that the American people agreed upon and voted for when they elected him president. That mandate is what should be the guiding force to ensure the promise is kept despite the efforts by the other side to derail it by the use of unsavory and unethical tactics.

Which means what, that those who didn't vote for him have every right not to respect the result of the election and the wish of those who want a system that will take care of everyone including the poor who cannot afford health insurance?

And I'm sure you'd just love to give all your money to feed, clothe and nurse to health all the rapists, murderers and drug dealers in jail. I don't hear your protest against their health care either, you must love taking care of those criminals.

A hostile crowd shouted questions and made angry statements Tuesday at a town hall meeting on health care in Pennsylvania led by Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter.

The meeting drew an overflow of about 250 people, with more gathered outside the hall to demonstrate for and against President Obama's push to expand health insurance for 46 million people without coverage while bringing down costs.

It was the latest in a series of emotional public meetings on the health care issue that have prompted Obama and Democratic leaders to complain of a campaign by opponents to drown out the debate with unruly disruptions.

At one point, Specter shouted into his microphone that demonstrators disrupting the proceedings would be thrown out.

"We're not going to tolerate any demonstrations or any booing," he said after one audience member shoved another making an unsolicited speech. "So it's up to you."

Many in the crowd identified themselves as conservative Republicans, with one man noting they had voted for Specter before the senator switched parties this year.

It was an ALL WHITE CROWD wearing T shirts printed with "The Mob", a distinct reminder of the crowd compositions during the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

This so called "president" is nothing but a socialist little stupid negro, trying to be something he will never be. His agenda is going to flush this country down to the sewers where he and his sock puppets swim every day. From this phony, this country is facing a threat unlike any it has ever known. The greatest day will be the day this clown shoed moron is thrown out of the White House. God help us all!

You must be itching to exercise your right, go carry a gun at the next town hall meeting and show them how gutsy you are. I dare you!

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Capricorn

You're under a lot of pressure today, which makes you rather tetchy and tense. Even so, you should try to channel your nervous energy in constructive directions because then you'll achieve a tremendous amount. If you'll be seeing someone you fancy from afar, there will be plenty of sparks flying between you. But what do they mean?
