Free Speech was great while it lasted by Kevin E. Dayhoff http://www.thetentacle.com/ August 12, 2009 (Click here for a larger image)
Maryland’s Democrat U. S. Senator Ben Cardin got quite an earful at a town hall meeting Monday night in Towson on healthcare reform. Although I choose not to attend, according to many published accounts, those who did go soundly jeered and booed him throughout the evening.
It was apparently a scene that has been played-out across the country for the past several weeks.
Everyday working moms and dads – many of whom have never before been active politically – are showing up in droves to let their elected congressional representatives know that they are worried about the Democrat leadership’s plan for the government to take over healthcare.
The paradox is that during the presidential election last fall, many political observers surmised that it was the middle of the road, average working class moms and dads who put then-Senator Barack Obama over the top for an historic election victory.
Moreover, one may argue that the “independent, working class voters” are once again the very voters President Obama needs to win over in this latest go-round of what to do about a healthcare system in which costs continue to spiral out of control.
