[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 583917, member: 2189"] Tie, Earlier today I happen to see an interview Wolf Blitzer had with Linda Douglas, an Obama adminstration communication official or propogandist for the State for short. Wolf questioned her about the Drug Industry committing $150 million for advertising to sell the Obama healthcare plan and Fraulien Douglas IMO just "evaded" the question. Now to be fair what she did is not anything new in Washington as this is standard MO but with an issue as flammable as healthcare is, when there appears to be the hiding of something, people will tend to think the worse and when they hear worse they will tend to go with it. The Obama adminstration ran on transparency and change and now it appears neither is taking place. Here's a [URL="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/08/13/interview_with_linda_douglass_97897.html"][COLOR=red]transcript[/COLOR][/URL] of the interview so you can read for yourself and make up your own mind. The facts are so hard now that even the MSM can't ignore and is having again to follow the alternative media in America and ask the adminstration directly even though they know the $150 million is true! I do think like you that a whole lot more of the TownHall "protestors" are ordinary folk and not political operatives. With more and more info coming to light that the healthcare industry is in bed with the adminstration, it seems foolish to then turn around and spend money on the other side unless this is pure dialectics at play. More and more me thinks something is rotten in Denmark via Washington DC. [/QUOTE]
