heres a "shocker"

turns out this guy has VA health care and has been propagandizing against health care for the rest of us...

<snip>
Fleckenstein says he is a father of two in Phoenix and was in the military. Weeks ago, he began combing one of the primary health-care reform bills under his Fleckman persona. He blogged and tweeted, to more than 6,000 followers, with page references to what he saw as especially egregious liberal ideas in the bill, HR 3200.
<snip>
He said he is glad his cheat sheets get waved around at town-hall meetings.

"The members in Congress on both sides seem to forget that the town halls are a place for Americans to speak out and voice their concerns and issues," he said. "Town halls are not for members of Congress to tell us what they want us to hear. Congress has forgotten that they work for us."

But even some of his ideological soul mates say he has gone too far.

2. No surprise when 50% of the population is either on Medicare, Medicaid, or VA.
