Ken, You're in one of those Dem. states so maybe you know better than me. I see the disrupted townhall meetings as the Rep. right wingers creating havoc. I've been a lifelong Rep. or at most independent. (My dad's middle name was Harding, after the Nov. 1920 Rep. nominating convention.) I've got to read more about the Brown Shirts in '30's Germany. Didn't they come to power thru disruption without majority support? That's what I'm afraid of here.
I live in the most conservative Rep. county in Illinois. I blame the right wing Rep. for Obama's election. 10 years ago, our Senator was Carol Mosley Brown, a joke after 6 years in office. A conservative Rep. lawyer, rich with multi-million dollar settlements (drug?) bought the Rep. primary by outspending his opponent about 9 to 1. He got himself elected, but 6 years later got bored or couldn't work with colleagues. He didn't run for re-election, so the Rep. found another conservative rich fellow, a young, former investment banker turned math teacher to run on family values. The Dems put Obama on the ballot, kind of a 'Hail Mary Pass' to take the seat. The Rep. guy was named Ryan. He was married to Jerri Ryan, the Borg babe '7 of 9' on Star Trek in the painted on outfit. They had 'sealed' divorce papers which came unraveled to reveal the family values candidate divorced over trying to take his wife to sex clubs. He was toast and withdrew. The Reps couldn't find anybody else to run and decided to import Alan Keyes, a conservative black radio host from NY/NJ(?), to run from Illinois. Obama won in a landslide. So the right wing Rep. minority in Illinois have managed over the last 10 years to get rid of the moderate voters in the party and hand over elections to the Dems. It's a sad time for lifelong Republicans like me, and I'm angry about it! Regards, Bob S.
