        You beat me to it. If Beck even shows up, it will be in an armored Limo or Hummer, with a band of groupies/bodyguards. He'll be there to wave, sign some autographs, and give a speech if his adoring fans are "lucky."

          If the teabaggers weren't so angry and annoying, you'd almost feel sorry for them. Out there screaming in protest to improve the lives of Beck and other worthless propagandists, actually putting in an effort to make their own lives worse, while the millionaires giving them instructions are sitting home nice and warm, laughing at the suckers.

          I know most of these wingnuts don't really have anything better to do, so I don't really feel bad for them wasting a day wandering around the capital trying to figure out what they're mad about. But now Beck is asking them to sleep outside in March to make him look powerful. Poor chumps.

        Glennie had all of the 'baggers in D.C. on September 12, 2009 acting like fools, but he never showed up.

      I was planning to go into D.C. on Saturday, anyway. Maybe I should go and tell them to support health care. I need to find Anthony Weiner's office, and Alan Grayson, and I can even go to Cantor's office! By the way, I found the Representative's umbridge at having to vote on a Sunday during Lent to be a bit sanctimonius and besides, the Sabbath starts Friday night and ends at sundown on Saturday. The United States Government is a secular government. If he doesn't want to violate his religion, he can stay home.

      They should all gather and stand together looking like a white pride rally.

      Maybe they'll harass some more sick people... maybe they can tease and mock some children with diabetes or maybe a hemophiliac...

      I love these rallies, it just makes me feel so much better about my position, because whatever side those idiots are on, I know I'm right to be on the other side.

      I nearly asked , 'how long since you had a 'clod' in your bed.... then, realized that was just last night, wherever you might have slept!

        From what I've heard, Beck's never actually participated in any of these events. I guess that's a job for the drones.

        Hey, there. We also have Sen Tom Harkin, and Reps. Dave Loebsack, Bruce Braley and Leonard Boswell. You're not gonna see any of them on Fox. King is an embarrassment and Grassley is a hack. He came in during the 80's Reagan revolution and we Iowa progs can't get rid of him.
        King is so far out there, he was going to run for Gov this year but found out that most Iowa folk live in the city now and don't buy into his nuttiness. After the census, it is expected we'll lose a congressional district and it may be the end of King or Latham, the two conservative nut cases. But before you say anything disparaging about Iowa, look at our history on civil rights and voting rights. You may be surprised.

      It's not like they couldn't do it. All they have to do is knock the cider blocks out and hook up their homes to their pick-ups.

      How does this bill affect education? I'm still confused by that one. I sure hope he walks the walk and not just talk the talk and goes to D.C. with all of those people. I hope he camps out with them, or will it be too cold out there, it's suppose to be something like 47 according to weather underground.

      Glenn, they won't have to camp out. If it's anything like the last teabagger rally, there will be plenty of room, enough for all 300 of them.

      Let me get this straight a bill that has already passed the senate with 60 votes would not pass the senate today because the dems only would have 59 votes? I am pretty certain that for the senate to pass a bill there only has to be a simple majority as stated in the Constitution.

      Don't catch a cold though. Health care's ridiculously expensive.

      Those kind souls in the GOP, always looking out for the political future of their democratic friends. They are so nice to warn the democrats so strongly that this bill could result in a republican majority. Who would think they would try to help the dems this much? (sarcasm)
