Gibbs Amused by Jon Voight at Tea Party
Asked about the several thousand protestors who gathered on Capitol Hill today to protest Democratic health care reform legislation, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs joked about one of the actors who was a featured speaker at the rally, saying, “I'm sure there's a Jon Voight joke in here somewhere, given he was one of the featured speakers, but…my father always told me my mouth would get me in trouble, and I have a feeling if I acted on the line that I'd like to give you, I'm almost positive that it would.”
Voight spoke at the rally, decrying the White House’s "radical Chicago tactics,” as did John Ratzenberger, better known as Cliff Clavin from the TV show Cheers.
Many members of Congress, including Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., were featured as well, as was conservative talk radio host Mark Levin.
Pressed further for a response to the rally, Gibbs said that “anybody that watches (the rally) is struck by the fact that there's a rally going on without a solution on their side.”

Eradicate Conservatives
Voight intimated that Obama had been purposefully brainwashed by Wright for 20 specifically to bring down America. That is the kind of stuff that puts teabaggers in the same camp with alien abductions, the 9-11 conspiracy group, and other whackjobs.

Don't Presidents usually replace their Press Secretaries by now? Gibbs IS a joke!

I want to thank Jon Voight and Mark Levin for coming and speaking on Thursday at the Health Care Rally and standing with the American people. The both of them, along with many Senators walked the crowd of approximately 40,000 and shock their hands! I might add, without bodyguards! Us "Teabag People" are not violent! I was blessed enough to shake all their hands and I thanked them for trying to protect our grandchildren! Most of all I'd like to thank Michele Bachman for everything she is doing to save America! She alone put out the call to all Americans to come to the WH and 40,000 showed up within a 4 days notice from all over the country! She said we would be allowed in the Capital to speak to our representatives and she honored her word! DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!

RECALL!!
Sounds like this is what needs to happen if they refuse to listen to us.
Recall of State Officials.........Recall is a procedure that allows citizens to remove and replace a public official before the end of a term of office
Proponents of the recall maintain that it provides a way for citizens to retain control over elected officials who are not representing the best interests of their constituents, or who are unresponsive or incompetent. This view holds that an elected representative is an agent, a servant and not a master!!

EXAMPLES:
In Irag we will fight a real war, with the goal being the total and complete defeat of the enemy. We are not into nation building, the US military is not a police force but a war fighting machine. Or we pull the troops and come home.
National health care for all or none. All contribute or no one contributes.
Yes Obama has sent national debt throught the roof, so what? What are you going to do about it if you are in office?

Just like the rest of the BHO Comedy Hour, why would anyone take anything serious that this idiot, moron has dribble out of his mouth. Gibbs is the one tells the lies to cover the other lies told by this administration. If this position had been a competitive hire, he would have been passed over for any other candidate that was qualified. He is the worse at this job that I have ever heard.

Gibbs and Levin, great idea Retired Logger. That may be like Ernest Angley and William F. Buckley Jr. on the Mike Douglas show years ago. Gibbs is a stupid donkey. His continuous, monotonous line is that the other side has no ideas as far as legislation, when Pelosi’s gang shuts out every piece of opposing legislation, unless it ties in to their purpose. He is the classic example of a soviet style propagandist. He is as one personality says, "The Family Guy", but no fried to a real family.

Gibbs is the joke. Wily and dangerous, but still, a big fat joke.

I am amused by Gibbs every time he opens his mouth. I think he received his degree from the Sarasota Florida Clown School. This administration is a three ring circus - the cabinet and aides and czars are all Obama's roustabouts.

The true enemy of the Congregational Democrat Party is: We the People. They are going for total control of the Unites States Citizens through Health care. What is so good for us according to them, is not so good for them.
*
For example: The health care benefit both Houses have cost them $500.00 per-year and includes specialist as needed. Right there in the house, (On Site.) If they need a specialist and one is not in-house, a specialist is flown in at no extra cost to the representative. In both houses. And this is a life time benefit, along with their salaries. Their explanation as stated: It’s a benefit for the Mission? What mission?
Folks it’s about Government control and Government power over us. I just don’t understand how these apologist on this site or any other site can be so wrong about a We the People, a Government by the people, (US) for the people, (US.)
*
America we must get it right! We must come together, we must get our words right. Let’s unite together. Just the constitutional facts. Lighten up on the mud slinging! Empower yourselves. Never ever forget. Many times America has a short attention span. And they are counting on us to forget come election time. How many of us have a copy of the Constitution, and read it? America and the World are watching.

Question: Were the Republicans were to win both houses in 2010 would they be able to PLAN, WRITE and SUBMIT a
true Health Reform Bill?
I ask this because I'm exhausted hearing that they are the party of NO. Were they to put through a truly comprehensive bill that keeps the government out, it would be a relief.
Sure the Democrats would hem and haw and refuse to go along but this would put paid to the idea that they are friends of the middle class. However, if the Republicans do not act on what will be a golden opportunity to redeem themselves, maybe a third party WILL be viable.
