Well, it’s been another interesting week on the political scene and town hall meetings are currently the rage of the media circuit. Seems that they are getting a little unruly as citizens (you fill in what type you think they are, Republican operatives, neo-Nazis, or just plain old folks) speak their minds in not especially respectful manner to their elected officials.
As I watched these reports it became apparent to me that the speakers were older folks and I had to laugh at the Democrats saying that they were operatives or revolutionary types because anyone who knows an old person knows that they hate their medical provider but they probably hate the government more.
I listened for years to my democratic mother bash Bush and the poor medical treatment that she was receiving and all of the other injustices that the world had put on her in her rest home and I tried to smile through the pain. Why, because I knew in any other country she would have been dead 5 years earlier from lack of medical attention.
One thing I can say for America is there is one thing the medical community fears more than old folks and that is their lawyers if you mistreat them in any manner. If the old person doesn’t get you then the family lawyer will lay you out in court after the fact.
And so I watched and what I saw were people…people afraid that they were going to lose something that they might not like but they felt was better than what they were going to get.
Remember the old neighborhood game where two siblings were carping at each other all day but if you said on bad word to either one of them then you had a fight on your hands from both of them. Well, there is a lesson here…leave the old folks medical coverage alone because they think of it as a sibling and they don’t like anyone messing with it.
I am fascinated that the best minds we elect to run this country have such a poor read on the American population that they call them names and insult their integrity and then ask for their votes in the next election. Listen up…2010 could be a referendum not seen in awhile.
There are two elections coming up soon that will be an indicator, one for Virginia governor and the other in New Jersey. Keep an eye on these races because they just might show a major shift in the independent voters as they finally wake up from the Obama stupor and put their thinking caps back on and vote with their heads and not their hearts.
America…you just gotta love it.
