Sheila Jackson Lee, the incredibly dense congresswoman from Houston, has managed to out-do herself. At a time when the Democrats are really fighting a disastrous PR image because of the town hall response to healthcare reform ... Sheila Jackson Lee definitely didn't help her cause with this arrogant stunt.

Here's what happened. Jackson-Lee decided to actually hold a town hall meeting in her district, which is more than a lot of her fellow Democrats can say. But during her town hall meeting a woman stands up and starts to explain why she is opposed to the Democrat healthcare plan. While the woman is speaking, Sheila Jackson Lee actually answers her cell phone. Yes, she gets out her cell phone while a constituent is making a statement during this town hall. Unbelievable. Even the crowd thinks it is unbelievably rude. This is like saying to the constituent "Blab all you want. I'm not interested in your opinion, I have a call to take here.' But what more did they expect from this woman. This is the same "public servant" who just used their tax dollars to appear at Michael Jackson's funeral. You people in Texas should be ashamed that you keep electing this twit into office. She actually thinks that our astronauts have planted an American flag on Mars, for goodness' sake. This is exactly the entitlement mentality that prevails in Washington these days. These politicians only care about one thing and that is maintaining power. Many of them simply do not have the job skills to earn in the private sector what they do in Congress. They are in love with the perks and the prestige and they sure as hell aren't there to represent the people of their district.

Looks like Senator Brown tried to hide a town hall meeting from the public. The goal here was to make sure the unions knew when and where the meeting would be, but to misdirect anyone who might oppose government-run health care. Details on the Boortz show today.

There are two schools of thought out there right now when it comes to healthcare reform. The first is that of Rahm Emanuel: Never let a good crisis go to waste. With the economy slowly starting to get better, some analysts in Washington are really worried that they will lose their edge on healthcare reform. Why is that? Well because Barack Obama has been trying for months to pin the turn-around of our economy to healthcare reform. Example .. statement's like this one, "Make no mistake: The cost of our health care is a threat to our economy. It is an escalating burden on our families and businesses. It is a ticking time bomb for the federal budget. And it is unsustainable for the United States of America." Sound familiar?

The other school of thought is that the better the economy gets, the less angry people will be about healthcare. Why is that? Because as more people become unemployed, the more people gain health insurance and therefore aren't as emotional on the issue.

Naturally there is a third school of thought, thanks to evil, brown-shirted, white sheet-wearing, swastika toting people like me. The fact is that the people of this country never really bought into this idea that healthcare reform was going to make or break our economy. Sorry, President Obama but you did a lousy job of convincing America. And whether or not the economy gets better, healthcare is always going to be a hot-button issue because it hits close to home for everyone.

I am proud of what we are currently seeing in this country. People are actually getting up and becoming involved. They're engaged. Sure, they get rude every once in a while. That seems to be a problem now. Never was a problem when the rudeness was directed at George Bush.

While healthcare may be the initial topic that got you into a town hall meeting or a protest or rally, there really is something larger at stake. From tea parties to healthcare, we are seeing a backlash against big government. It's about freakin' time. People see a government takeover of healthcare as a huge government takeover of a large segment of our economy and a good portion of our very lives. Somehow people are starting to relate to that. Both parties need to wake up and realize what is going on. Democrats need to realize that these are "real Americans" with "real reservations" and "real votes." Republicans need to realize that these are the people they have abandoned for so many years. If they were smart, they would take that and run with it.

You know, folks, I am sick of this argument. We saw it coming, we knew it would get here, and we know it's never going to go away .. but it's tiring nonetheless.

Yesterday on the show I had a caller, Charles, tell me that the only reason we are seeing these protests against healthcare is because we have a black president. How typical. Another chip-on-the-shoulder moonbat heard from. But Charles was only reciting his liberal talking points that he learned from the lamestream media. Like Chris Matthews, for example. Chris said on his program the other day, "Are you telling me that these guys were created by this new president? That the people we're watching on television with their guns and their attitudes about the republic weren't around before January 20th?!...Okay I think, I think some of the people are upset because we have a black president."

This is nothing new. For decades the left has pulled out the race card whenever things start going the other way. The race card is so deeply ingrained in so many of these people that there is no way in the world they can keep from playing it. The social equation is so profoundly easy with them.

People are opposed to a policy objective.
The policy objective is being proposed by a black person
People are racists

These are the thought patterns that power the left ... that power so many in Washington, and that power Chris Matthews. And so it shall ever be.

This will give you a good chuckle. Watch this ad from MoveOn.org. If you can't watch it right now because your workplace is plagued by the monster that is Sarbanes Oxley, here is a transcript:

They are enormous and powerful. They prey on our weaknesses, trying to separate the healthy from the sick. Their strategy is to confuse and exhaust their victims. And they kill people each year by denying coverage while profiting billions. During shark week, let's take on the real predators: health insurance companies. Call Congress, tell them: don't put insurance profits before health care. Support a real public option.

Yeah ... all those evil health insurance companies making their profits ... and killing people!

Just another wonderful example of the anti-free market liberal mind at work. We all know the government could do a much better job, don't we?

I'm talking about Debbie Stabenow. She's a Democrat Senator from Michigan, and she's oh-so-concerned about (gasp!) global warming. (I don't have to tell you that she is a Democrat, do I?) Stabenow is so special that she can actually feel the global warming when she's flying! Yup! She's that good! The Detroit News tells us that the brilliant Senator Stabenow says that "climate change is very real" because she can "feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes."

Fact? Michigan just had its coldest - not its warmest, its COLDEST July since they began keeping records. The waters in the Great Lakes are starting to rise .. .keeping up with a 30-year cycle. These higher water levels fly right into the face of media reports that global warming is drying up the Great Lakes. The people of Michigan don't even put global warming on their list of top-ten concerns .. but this moonbat can feel the global warming when she's flying.

I love Henry Payne's (Detroit News) parting comment: "And there are sea monsters in Lake Michigan. I can feel them when I'm boating."

This would be funny if it weren't so sad. How in the world do the voters of this country manage to put such dumbasses in positions of power and responsibility? So far as I can see this moonbat has never worked a day in her entire life in the private sector. I've seen some vague references to "social worker" and "leadership training consultant." Leadership training? She is nothing less than a professional political hack ... and an amazingly ignorant one at that. And .. get this ... she's the 3rd ranking Democrat in the Senate. Sad.

Oh .. one more thing. Stabenow's husband, Tom Athans, has worked in a few executive positions for left-wing talk radio networks, including Air America ... this while Senator Stabenow has been working to reinstate the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." Conflict of interest anyone?

There are two months left in the remaining budget year and the federal deficit has already hit a record $1.27 trillion. Most Americans have no idea what this is going to mean for the future of their children.

Senator Debbie Stabenow (a Democrat) says that she can and none of it has been spent.

Just the other day, Arlen Specter caught hell at a town hall for supporting Obama's healthcare plan. Now he is saying that those people in opposition to the plan are "not necessarily representative of America." He hopes.

Oh and by the way, the people who attended that town hall with Arlen Specter were an "almost entirely white and irritable crowd," according to the New York Times.

The White House weighs in on the swastika painted on Georgia Congressman David Scott's office sign.

The press is eager to report on every incident of violence or harsh rhetoric at any event protesting ObamaCare. What was the standard, thought, when those violent words and actions were aimed at George W. Bush. Answer: Largely ignored.

In his healthcare to win health insurance reform, Barack Obama has focused on winning over the middle class ... but what about the seniors?

Speaking of seniors. Obama got in a little trouble with the AARP for claiming that the AARP supported his healthcare plans.

You need a photo ID to attend a Democrat healthcare town hall, but you don't need a photo ID to vote the Democrat into office. Interesting.

Barack Obama says that he has never supported a single-payer system. Does he seriously think we are that stupid? There are videos of him saying so.

The Democrats may not bring back the Fairness Doctrine in its original form, but let's see what rules and regulations they can conjure up under a Chief Diversity Officer.

What is wrong with this statement from Barack Obama: "46 million of our fellow citizens have no coverage."

Robert Gibbs says that a lot of people were probably "disappointed" that Barack Obama didn't get yelled at during his healthcare town hall the other day in New Hampshire.

Cuba can't even provide its citizens with enough toilet paper, and yet the lamestream media in America just marvels at their "free" healthcare system.

When the lawmakers re-approach the issue of cap-and-trade, which industry is going to be affect first by regulations ... the airline industry.

Hugo Chavez supporters have found their latest target: the "bourgeois" game of golf.
