how on earth did the insurance companies get the people they're screwing to do their bidding?

[spanone]

this is remarkable....

the very people they are denying coverage are out at the town halls protesting a public option....

i guess some people are just that stoopid

1. The enemy of my enemy is my friend -

the insurance companies are smart. They're just stepping in and capitalizing on the racism and fear and ignorance that define these people.

Once you have them lined up, they'll do anything you tell them to do.

And they'll even work for free!!!

Can't get much easier than that, can it?

Ah, hate - it's a powerful thing...................................

2. Same way Republicans get them to vote against themselves in every election...

Amazing stuff!

3. Useful idiots are apparently not in short supply. nt

4. 1 word - "Sheeple"

Mindless Tards, hell bent on being guided by rumor and misinformation aligned to their bigoted beliefs

6. Oh, insulting people with crude insults is so helpful to understanding them and the dynamics of what

is transpiring.

It's so helpful in reaching out and helping shed so light into really dark places.

8. Need I say any more.....

If you been listening to the likes of Sean Hannity, Rush LickBalls, or Glen Beck and appear to be an uninformed, intellectually challenged, mental midget, that would be your problem

5. Marketing. Democrats and Liberals could learn a lot. Rational arguments don't reach crowds.

It started early, with commercials on tv and then astro-turfing tea-baggers.

Marketing.

You want people to follow you and support your plans you have to market them successfully.

9. Just 1 High Profile political flunky like Sarah Palin to shout "Death Panels"

and then watch the propaganda machine sit and spin

Who the Hell has suggested the GOP propaganda machine has ever played FAIR. ei: John Kerry's War Medals

7. A big part of the population is afraid of change. They WANT change, but

they think they KNOW what they have now, and they're unsure about what they WILL have if a big change is made. It's kind of like starting a new job. You want to work for this new business; you know you're talented enough to do the job well; but you're scared anyway. What if the new boss doesn't like you? What if your co-workers are idiots? What if you screw up your first assignment? I honestly think that's what you're seeing in a lot of people right now. NOT the loud screamers...they just hate the Dem President...but the average people. They want spoecifics, and because Obama wanted Congress to put the plan together (they failed of course), there just aren't specifics yet. People don't know how this CHANGE will affect THEM personally, and they're leaning to what they know, bad as it is, because of the unknown.
