I have had it up to here and then some..with the self righteous
who are trying to pull down this presidency. From carrying guns at town halls (what the heck?) to trying to take away our rights of dissension and discussion with their @sshat yelling to stop discussion to those who are just ready to give up.

This idea that once we got our guy elected we could just sit back and carp if things are not going our way is stupid and lazy.

This is a battle the republicans are ready to fight, and the democrats are ready to concede. And are we in there giving our congresspeople support, going to town halls and confronting the republicans and not letting them get away with it.

Not much as far as I can see.

1. Somehow "what the heck" doesn't quite cut it -
With my greatest respect, I'd say "From carrying guns at town halls (what the heck?)" could most deservedly be reworded to "(what the FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?)"

2. When you have thousands of people peaceably demonstrating for healthcare reform,
but it gets little media attention and then a few hundred shrill bullies at the town hall meetings captures the news cycle for days, something is wrong.

The White House does need to do things better and to get their message across better rather than reacting to the freeper lies. The Administration does need to get their message together and to have all of their people on the same page.
