    Dingell Routed in Romulus

    Michigan's media and the national media continue to concentrate their coverage of town hall meetings on convincing the state and nation that the people who are attending the town hall meetings are weird special interest people outside the mainstream of American political thought.

     

    John Dingell's (D-MI), Town Hall meeting in Romulus, MI was interesting theater.

    The villain in the play was Representative Dingell, who was jeered and booed by the hostile crowd, and confronted face-to-face by a man with his son in a wheel chair.

    The heroes were the crowd who had obviously studied the facts and came prepared to do battle, and Dingell, himself, for at least holding back to back meetings.

    According to some, there was attempt to stack the meeting with early arriving Democrats who were seated in some of the closest seats.  But this passionate crowd was determined to voice their concerns, and express them they did.

    Of course, the traditional drive-by media, as Rush Limbaugh refers to them, totally misses the importance of what is really going on at these meetings.  They are more interested in dissecting the motives of the anti-Obamacare people who attend the meetings, speculating on whether the "hallers" have been fed a script to follow at the meetings, and arguing that the "hallers" have been sent by groups to disrupt the meetings.

    The media acts as if the " hallers" are some terror cell which has been activated by a twitter message. " Heck, most of them do not even know what twitter is," Joe Piscapo surmised on the Sean Hannity Show.

    Representative Dingell, although wrong on supporting the Democrats' cram-down healthcare (because we have the votes)  strategy  to improve health care in America in three weeks, is to be commended for his willingness to hold the town hall meeting, not once, but back-to-back in Romulus.  Nevertheless, in typical politics as usual he refused to say that he would change anything or back off the imposed deadline.

    More important than what Dingell did or the "hallers" said or did or why, is this.

    Deep in the pit of our stomachs, we know that a financial tsunami is coming and we know how big it is or how powerful it will be.  The "hallers' may get a little rowdy at times, but they are, in reality, canaries in the coal mines.  

    They are expressing their fear or concern for the future under Obama's leadership, as he wastes billion upon billion.

    People know what happens when the government throws away money as if it will never run out.  

    They know from personal experience with the brother who spent all of his inheritance buying Mega Millions lottery tickets, or their daughter who filed bankruptcy after buying a luxury car, a new house, and all new clothes, on a modest budget.

    They see the bank bailouts, the car bailouts,  a stimulus bill that spends about 800 billion dollars on all types of non-stimulus items, a cap and trade bill that no one has read nor understand, and an Obamacare program which Obama did not write and therefore cannot even explain.
    The billl should be called PelosiCare,  A thousand page bill that has different visions that no one can explain or has even read, does not build confidence in the American people.

    They know that the national debt is over 10 trillion dollars headed for 20 trillion dollars under Obama, and they both angry and scared.

    What people do not understand, they fear, when they have fear, they get defensive, when threatened, they protect and fight back.  This bill, unless changed is going down, and it may just take Obama and his coterie of Democrats down, too.

    See you at town hall and the voting booth.
