It seems that the MSM is finally understanding that this thing is not only about health care but is also about the insane government spending and the massive deficits.
Many of those raising their voices and fists at the town halls have never been politically active. Their frustration was born earlier this year with government bailouts and big spending bills, then found an outlet in the anti-tax Tea Parties in April and has simmered in the punishing recession.
They have been encouraged by talk-radio and Glenn Beck but how is that different then the anti-war nutjobs being goaded on by MoveOn and Hollywood celebs? These town hall people seem to be mostly older people that aren't getting a strait answer from Obama or anyone else.
How will it effect their Medicare and Medicare Part D? How long will they have to wait to get their artificial hip? Will there be some cold, government bureaucrat nixing their life giving surgery? That kind of stuff has been glossed over. So it makes them scared as well as angry.
