    no, they look with awe at people who have the courage and commitment to make their views heard.

    I notice the defense presented to me on this topic included the charge it was not Democrats heckling the congressman, but republicans.

    By that token, watch some Democrats heckle a Democrat talking about health care.

    I invited the Obama loyalists to show me a video. I found one on my own. But using their strange logic, clearly the hecklers are all Democrats.

    Watch it.

    By the way, I see none of the hecklers claiming the are tea party.

    Do you need more? I'm not sure how anyone who lived in 2009 would make the idiotic declarations that you have made.

    First i love them assembling. But they need to learn how it is done correctly.

    Have you watched two women go after each other yelling and screaming? Can you even understand either?

    Amy Walters is a trusted source for the Democrats. No sane person doubts her allegiance to only Democrats.

    She is here announcing these protests against congressmen just started when Trump got elected.

    I just can't see republicans showing up to jeer our own congress. We are content with our congress in fact.

    So no, the Tea party was not doing this and were not paid to protest nor were unruly.

    I was at the Womens March in NYC.

    most amazing experience ever.

    hundreds of thousands of people, taking over 2nd Ave from 59th st down to 42st, west to 5th Ave and up to 56th st.

    never seen anything like it!!! soo inspiring.

    Interesting. According to you, "making your views heard" (apparently using "heard" quite literally) makes people look at you with awe and see you as courageous and committed, even though absolutely nothing results other than a lot of noise. But actually working to advance your cause PRACTICALLY where your views and desires can be put into actual effect by using the power of the political process and voting in those who will implement what you desire to be done is not awe inspiring, courageous or committed. I can see why you would feel that way, since one is just venting to make oneself and the like-minded feel better, whereas the other actually accomplishes a worthwhile goal. I'm glad I spent my time the last 8 years doing something more useful than protesting in the streets about the progressive agenda. And I can tell how well our gameplan worked by how much venting there is from that side.

    The woman's march? Only the 53% of women who voted for Clinton, that's hardly "THE women's march" now is it.

    More identity politics class war BS trying to wedge division and create insurrection.

    Confidentially, you have long known that America did not want the ACA. They knew it was not affordable. They knew it would drive up premiums and co pays.

    I tend to doubt though those were really the tea party people. In general, the tea party types are polite.

    I know this speaker personally. I met him at the request of one of my clients. As i got to know this man, I learned a lot from him.

    This is the way the Tea party operated.

    I hereby present how Democrats shove Senators around who happen to be republicans.

    Rebuttal to Democrats of the Senate

    Yes, in CA, even though you may be a Senator, Democrats believe they can stop you from speaking.

    A good explanation is in the next video.

    The truly strange thing to me is that Dems believe these tactics to be working in their favor, despite all evidence to the contrary. Republicans now control the governorship and legislature of 30 states. 30 STATES. Anyone want to explain why that is? Because from where I'm sitting, it's a bit tough trying to square that with the notion that the GOP is the party that's not addressing the issues the way people want them addressed, or that it's the GOP party whose policies are out-of-sync with what people want to see being done. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

    It's already begun. They simply haven't bothered to recognize that fact...

    Hate to have inject a dose of reality here, but who controls the Presidency? Who controls the Senate? Who controls the House? So nobody is stopping you? You might want to rethink that statement...

    There it is. Well said.

    Making a lot of noise and disrupting meetings leads to noisier, less productive meetings. Nothing more. Anyone who believes otherwise should probably have their head examined.

    Oh c'mon. Even you don't really believe that. We are 4 months removed from an election and these people are protesting the policies on which that election was held. Nobody is flip flopping on their policy choice that quickly. The people that are protesting these policies are the people that voted against those policies, not the reverse.

    If it looks like a duck.....and quacks like a duck......ITS A DUCK.
