I was one of the very few Republicans to get a ticket to the Democrat pep rally. How can you have meaningful debate when 95 percent of the people at the rally are Democrats for this garbage legislation. If George Bush would have tried that, the press would have fried him right on the spot. As usually Obama gets a pass.
My wife was outside the Central High School auditorium filming the busload of Obama supporters bussed in from Denver. She interviewed two of them. We have the pictures. There is an advertisement on Craig’s List to hire people for $600 dollars per week to go around and support Obamacare. I have lived here for 35 years and I did not recognize anybody in the auditorium, but the who’s who of the Democrat Party. This was the most dishonest debate I have ever seen in my life. John Salazar won’t even have a town hall meeting on the Western Slope. What’s wrong with that picture? This health care debate affects us, too.
Let’s have an honest debate instead of trying to ram this bill down our throats. This bill is not about health care, it is about control of the American people. It is trampling on our rights as U.S. citizens. The last thing I want to hear is “I’m from the government and I am here to help you.” What has happened to personal responsibility? Health care might need some tweaking, but don’t do a total turn to socialized medicine which never works!

Hey, Mike -
How many folks did the 1776 Tea Party bring in from out of town?

What does that mean? I am not sure just what point you are trying to make? You know how thick skulled us evil conservatives can be.
Respectfully can you explain just what point you were trying to make? I really am interested in knowing. Thanks

Mr. Gregg is an Event Coordinator for the 1776 Tea Party, didn’t you know that? So, I just asked that in the interests of Full Disclosure. Since Mr. Gregg wasn’t exactly forthcoming.

No I did not know that? Thank you for the info! I guess I will have to research the “1776 Tea Party”. It sounds as though Mr. Gregg was alive for the event so it must mean something else and now my interest is piqued.
Is it a local or national organization? Does anyone have more information on the event in question? Thanks

How many tea party events are funded by our tax dollars?

Hey, at least The White House staffers had the guts to come out and say who they were working for…

“If George Bush would have tried that, the press would have fried him right on the spot.”
Mike - thanks for the belly laugh, I was literally laughing out loud at the complete idiocy/hypocrisy of this statement.
Just out of curiosity, where did you stand on the Patriot Act when it was ‘rammed down our throats’ and ‘trampling on our rights as U.S. citizens’? Or how about the Military Commissions Act? It was ‘rammed down our throats’ and to this day ‘tramples on our rights as U.S. citizens’ too. Mike, were you paying attention then? I don’t suppose you remember the suspension of habeas corpus? Talk about trampling our rights.
Your words ring incredibly hollow my friend.

joko, don’t forget FISA, Homeland Security, Real ID, and the Secure Fence Act. Civil rights are quaint.
Mr. Gregg, with all due respect, in light of Medicare Part D, I really don’t think we can afford to risk more Republican “tweaking” of our healthcare system.

Mr. Gregg is an Event Coordinator for the 1776 Tea Party; he got a a ticket, and got in. So, how can anyone say they were keeping out dissenting voices?

Dr. Wright; The tea baggers held their event in a public park (tax maintained), used city secuity forces (taxes) parked on public streets, used elected officials to speak…to claim that they want to overthrow the government.

I’d like to meet Mike Gregg — he is my kind of guy !
So what if he was an event coordinator for the 1776 Tea Party ?
As for the Patriot Act - I was glad to see it . I have one other comment regarding Mamma Obama and his coddling of the terrorists : water- boarding is out - so kill them all !

I think BO probably alienated a quarter million Americans by preaching “tightening our belts” while dissing the Tea Party pleas to slow down spending:
