Can someone explain what's going on with trolls and thumbing? Yep, I'm a computer idiot!

I'm a proud member of 912 - Sarpy912 Group, Nebraska!! I'm just using "their" terms. Have also referred to myself as a mobster, right-winger, gun-toter, extremist, astroturfer......you get my drift. I will wear any of those terms brazenly on my sleeve.

Went to my first rally on April 15 and have been involved since. I don't say much, but I read tons! As I stated earlier, "thanks for the great info, comrades!"

Oh, and sorry, Norgue.....I mean Morgue!

Yep, Norgue's where I got the info. I can't believe how much smarter you 912ers are making me!

I've been noticing a lot of motor mouthing. Below is an excerp from the Education Reporter on using the Delphi Technique and how to diffuse.

"Be persistent. If putting you on the defensive doesn't work, facilitators often resort to long monologues that drag on for several minutes. During that time, the group usually forgets the question that was asked, which is the intent. Let the facilitator finish. Then with polite persistence state: "But you didn't answer my question. My question was . . ." and repeat your question. "

Good read!

I watched BO's town hall yesterday (guess I felt like ruining my day) and was amazed to learn that Drs. across this country are chopping off feet (oh, and ripping out tonsils) for financial gain. Hold your limbs and organs close folks - your doctor may need to make his mortage payment!____I truly can't believe this guy gets away with the stuff (i.e. lies) that he says. When off teleprompter, he shows his true colors and his arrogance.____PS- the Dems I've watched at town halls are equally arrogant!!

I just received a response from my senator (Mike Johanns-R-NE) stating the following:

"As Congress considers major health care legislation, I will strongly oppose any proposals to creat a single-payer, government-run system. A closer look at the uninsured in America reveals that a one-size-fits-all solution will not work. Of the estimated 47 million uninsured in our country:

9.7M qualify for current government programs, but are not enrolled.
9M earn more than $75,000 a year.
6M are eligible for employer-sponsored insurance, but are not enrolled
5.2M are undocumented, non-citizens
5M are non-citizens who may not be eligible for government programs.
12M of the uninsured Americans truly do not have affordable insurance options."

Please let others know that we are talking about 12 million people - NOT 47 million!

PS: Sen. Johanns rocks - he IS working hard for sensible government. Ben Nelson-D-NE on the other hand, is not. He's on my list!

You are so right - just heard Pelosi will be bringing their health care reform to the House at 3:00ET - today! Will there be any coverage?

I have written my local station letting them know that I refuse to watch biased newscasts. I quit watching MSM news quite some time ago. Since I'm not watching, it's too bad I won't know who is advertising during this "kool-aid fest" so I can let them know of my disdain.

Man, do I agree - all I do is talk to whoever will listen.

Got in an argument with a cousin - "I'm tired of your gloom and doom talk. There are checks and balances in our government to prevent what you're saying will happen. Get some faith!" My response: "I do have faith, I do have hope - I HAVE to. I hope and pray that more and more Americans will open their eyes and see that our rights and freedoms are being taken away from us-daily-and will begin to stand up for OUR country."

I wish more would get as angry/frightened as those on this site (and others). I truly don't understand why many refuse to see what is happening, at record pace. Maybe, and probably, as Old Marine says: plain and simple fear.
