#1 In an e-mail to POLITICO Monday, Doggett called the group a "mob"

I recomend you start listening to these "mobs" before they start showing up with an old school lynching mentallity, ropes, tar, feathers, you know, the full works...

#3 What they don't say (or rather REFUSE to say) is that the 'mob' is just about as pissed off at the Republican RINO's as the Democrats.

That wouldn't fit their narrative that this is all organized by the Republican party and Rush Limbaugh....

#4 If Barry permits elections in 2010, they should be very interesting.

#5 In an e-mail to POLITICO Monday, Doggett called the group a "mob, sent by the local Republican and Libertarian parties" that "came not just to be heard but to deny others the right to be heard."

Some Freudian projection going on there Doggett. Those are the tactics the Donks wrote using astroturfed groups at your opponents' venues for media coverage and political points. Now that the real thing has shown up, you're unable to discern what's fake and what's real. Just keep being in denial, all the way up to the figurative political guillotine. These are the Americans who've kept quiet for years, who've ignored politics, and those who you've now got both their attention and focus.

#6 The Senate, House, and Presidency would be a good place to work if it weren't for the damned voters!

#7 Democrats are trying to push back, casting the town hall disrupters as right-wing extremists affiliated with anti-tax "tea parties."

The problem is, there are a lot of dhimocrats showing up at those tea parties now. They are just as sick and tired of getting taxed as the right is and tea parties are mostly center and center right groups.
'course that don't fit the narrative either.

#8 What arrogant punks that whole party is staffed with.

I have absolutely no respect for democrats anymore- at all. Democrats are the antighisis of a democratic system.

#10 If you show up in public and you draw howling mobs maybe you're doing something wrong as a pol.

#11 "If you show up in public and you draw howling mobs maybe you're doing something wrong as a pol."

That little nugget of knowledge is lost on most of these folks, however.

#12 "In an e-mail to POLITICO Monday, Doggett called the group a "mob, sent by the local Republican and Libertarian parties"..."

#16 Ultimately, many of these congress critters are going to have to decide which is larger, their reelection voters or the angry mob. And if they listen to their Washington spinsetters, they may not get the answer they need.
