Life is Short

Batocchio wrote last night about the idea of having some sane people attend the town halls, which I think is a really good idea. however, I think it’s just possible that more than a few who people who might normally go are somewhat put off by the idea that there are screaming hysterics there, many of whom believe that everyone in the country should be packing heat at all times. It tends to be a bit intimidating. And that, of course, is the point.

I have had the opportunity to speak with a couple of congressman who are here at Netroots Nation about this, both of whom were really concerned that the pro-reform side wasn’t turning out for these events and speaking out if they do. They believe that this is essential.

I think it’s also essential that liberals stop allowing a bunch of hysterical, misinformed cranks to dominate the political discourse in this country by acting like some psycho dad every time they don’t get their own way..
