Let's do the math on this for a second. Every poll I've seen puts the disapproval rating of these health care bills somewhere between 45 and 55 percent. I remember right after Obama was sworn in that these same polls were putting the number of people who consider themselves or identified with Republicans as 30 percent or maybe a percentage or two higher. So even if every single Republican in America hates this bill where is that other 15 to 25 percent coming from?

And saying that every single person speaking their mind at these town hall meetings is a plant from the insurance companies is like saying every single person that took part in a Vietnam War protest in the 1960s was a member of the KGB.
