This seals it: According to the biggest organizers of the town hall protests, it's all about failure for Democrats and NOT about health care at all.
On a private conference call, a group of top Tea Party and conservative organizers offered a surprisingly frank description of their goal, according to a source on the call: Completely blocking any kind of bipartisan compromise, and completely preventing any type of health care reform bill at all from ever becoming law.
The source who got himself on the call was an organizer for the AFL-CIO, and AFL-CIO spokesman Eddie Vale provided me with the organizer’s notes. It’s certain to be seized on by Dems to argue that organized Tea Party opposition to Obama has no constructive intentions and is fomenting public “concern” about Obama’s plan solely to prevent any reform from ever taking place. GOP officials would argue that they don’t share these goals.
So? Will we hear any outrage from either party on this? Stand by, but keep breathing.
who would believe any goon from the afl-cio

How utterly surprising.

Screw you and everyone who union-bashes, Jimbo. I'll believe any union member before even acknowledging these lying pricks on the right.

Well, duh. That's been obvious since Jan. 21. But I suppose Congressional Dems won't catch on to this for a few months or possibly years yet, even after this flat statement of intent. "Bipartisanship" is another word for being ass-raped with a knife.
