Title: McCain Evicts Angry Woman From Town Hall Meeting

PHOENIX — Sen. John McCain met with an angry crowd at a town-hall meeting about health care reform Wednesday, sometimes having to fight to talk and telling one woman who wouldn't stop yelling that she had to leave.

The Arizona senator hadn't yet opened up the meeting at McCain's central Phoenix church to questions when one audience member continuously yelled over him.

"You're going to have to stop or you're going to have to leave," McCain told the woman. When security guards approached to escort her out, he told her "Goodbye, see ya" to a round of applause.

After McCain opened it up to questioning, one man angrily pointed at him and asked the senator why he deserves a better health care plan than him.

"I'm trying to get it for you," McCain told him. "We'll do it for you. We'll make it affordable and available to you."

Other audience members in the crowd of 2,000 told McCain about their medical problems, such as HIV and multiple sclerosis.

McCain urged them he would fight for health care reform but reiterated his opposition to President Barack Obama's plan to create a government option to compete with private insurers, arguing that it would be the eventual end of private insurers in the U.S.

Obama and most Democrats say a government option would serve to balance the power of private insurers. But insurance companies see it as a step toward a government takeover, and many business groups agree.

When McCain was trying to answer questions from reporters after the town hall, one audience member yelled at him that he gets hundreds of thousands of dollars from insurance companies every year.

In a voice of feigned surprise, McCain said "Really? I didn't know that."

"There's more interest and involvement in this issue than I've ever seen in many years on a domestic issue," McCain said afterward. "There's obviously strong feeling and emotions on this issue and I think the town-hall meetings are a very important way to get people's viewpoints and allow them to deal directly with their elected representative."

The Democratic plan has repeatedly run into problems at such meetings. Throughout August, unruly opponents have tried to shout down lawmakers at local town hall meetings.

McCain also spoke against the proposal at a much more subdued town-hall meeting Tuesday in the retirement community of Sun City.

McCain canceled a Friday trip to Flagstaff so he can attend services for longtime colleague Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who died Tuesday night.

The key point of course is never discussed i.e., that the Feral Government has no business, nor right, to be involved in Hellthcare beyond public health measures PERIOD.

By controlling and shifting the debate from should we allow the Feds to do this to Obamacare® versus Republicare® it totally eliminates the most important objection to federal intervention in healthcare i.e., it's none of their damn business.

Of course the Sucker Class sees it as getting something for nothing when there is no such thing. Someone has to pay for all this government largess and that means extorting money from one group to pay for the upkeep of another. The false premise of socialism is that everyone should live in enforced economic equality - except for those running the show.

Obamacare® is nothing more than a Trojan Horse for a eugenics agenda and forced population reduction by murdering millions of people. That is the stark reality no one wants to confront.

Another key point is people with active brain cells shouldn't discuss matters of government with McCain. They should be busy organizing to bring him down and then be ready to replace him with something resembling an American.

True, but seeing him pinned to the wall is entertaining. It is a useful exercise to the degree that it is revealing to the mind numbed robots, such as Dildoeheads, Freeptards®, and BOORtzbots that the R's are in bed with the Demoncrats. Most won't get it but some will, and that is an inroad. Any step forward is to be taken at this point.

I'm starting to lean your way, OI. Obama has been that much of a wake up call.
