Bill Mann from The Huffington Post came up with four nifty ideas to stop the ruckus at the town hall meetings. But he may have forgotten the easiest, and perhaps the one with the best chance of success.
Rather than spending all kinds of ad money (and the white coats) to counter the effects of the astroturfers (artificial grass-roots) and the huge corporate health care machine that’s keen on bussing them from town hall meeting to town hall meeting, why not put the money where it’ll count the most? Into the hands of the “bought-and-paid-for” congressmen who seem to be the big hold outs.
It’s not like they would be insulted if we offered them a bribe to vote yes, after all. And it certainly couldn’t be considered unethical seeing how its not frowned upon when the corporations do it. So why can’t the people get in on the action? Payoffs seem to be the thing that gets results in Congress these days, so let’s put our money where it’ll do the most good.
Out bid the competition and eliminate the alligator tears from the far right all in one swoop!
