Many folks who voted for Mr. Kratovil were happy that he won the election last year, but that euphoria has vanished. They are not happy that he supported the Cap & Trade nonsense. Whether he proves to be a true conservative Democrat and votes to kill ObamaCare will be decisive to his future in the First District.
If he marches to the tune of the Pelosi-Hoyer cabal, he may get a few goodies and a junket or two from the National Democrat leadership before the 2010 congressional election, but he won’t be reelected to the seat he now holds. It’s his to lose.
What say you, Mr. Kratovil?

it is time for new blood in politics. No more of the corrupt two party system. We need peopel with ideas, answers, real leaders who understand and believe in the constitution and America.
What a waste of time, sit around somewhere and nobody cares. The average person is more concerned with the house payment, the utility bills and food. Not to mention school cloths and supplies. My gosh there isnt any work left on the shore.

Do not complain when you lose your freedoms and liberties. Do not complain when you cannot make your own decisions concerning your or your families healthcare.

Are the people not supposed to stand up for themselves?
You think this will actually help? These people have so much power and are controlled by corporate America that you could stand on your head on that street for a month and it wouldnt fix anything. Trust me buddy I have a greater LOVE of this nation then you seem to realize, I am not hte man you want to meet when the shot hits the fan. I would actually get something done, but most of you would hate the means by which I did it. You fight with words, I wouldnt.
The people must stand up and come together and attempt real positive change in this country. Not to try, is to give up and doom our children and grandchildren to lives controlled by the government.
What say you, extremists who hang our Congressman in effigy?
Kratovil should be replaced if for no other reason than he voted for cap and trade. Don't forget that he also voted FOR the stimulus bill after billions of dollars of pork was added to the bill. That man is in no way conservative and needs to be replaced.
they were not advocating violence. the crowd was not angry and mean like ACORN people are. Someone is always going to attack those doing what it takes to make a difference. this country was not born by the masses and will not be saved by the masses either.

Look at those protesters, save TWO, they were all ELDERLY.
How would you feel seeing your mother crying over the crap that our current administration is trying to shove down our throats?
And she voted for these fools!
Bottom Line?
Those people aren't just angry, they were worried!
They all need to be replaced. The way I see it there are two choices, continue the democratic process at the voting booths or go the other way. Dont straddle the fence.
Wow.....I'm sure that made an impact. Was he even there? Was anyone there?
I had a talk last night with the wife for a couple hours. Looking everything over it seems our time is upon us, I have never felt these feelings before in my life. I knew it was coming, out there on the horizon, now its here...Woahhh.
The hanging effigy was in poor taste. The adults in the group should have known better. Not cool.
Free speech is a wonderful thing, but the hanging figure was over the top. It looked like a small lynch mob. In these violent times, it upset me. I will not associate with protests showing people hanging. I will write my congressman when I am upset rather than attend rallies showing violent symbols. Shame on you people.
We hang effigy because we don't have the balls to do it for real. Our founding fathers would kill these sobs.
The elite know we aren't serious people. We will allow them to run over us every time. We will not defend ourselves. We only believe in gun rights because we enjoy killing animals.
We are a pathetic bunch. We deserve our demise.
The effigy was wrong. Of course it was wrong. Why? Because it does not give us what we want or need. We want freedom.
We are being held captive.

Congress is still in session and yesterday was a voting period -- so Congressman Kratovil could not meet with the folks in Salisbury.
90% of these people are on medicare they will never lose their insurance.
anonymous 12:27, NEVER say NEVER!
Obamacare will mean the end of the United States as we know it. The government will control so many parts of our life because of this legislation. At the end of the day, Republicans cannot stop this. the only ones who can stop this, are the people who protest, get their voices out there and scare the so called Blue Dogs into voting against this bill.
Chris, I think you need some serious mental help.

How so? do you really think if the government controls your health that they are not going to control much of your life?

If you are going to personally attack someone by name, especialy wihtout any evidence or anything backing you up, you should have the guts to post your own name.
Otherwise, just disagree with what people are stating and state your own opinion. What you are doing seems cowardly.
1:46 They used the same argument against social security and medicare. The world did not come to and end and many people are far better off with it.
1:52
Because he is telling the truth, because he is not drnking the kool-aid like you?
Not many stand up and tell the truth anymore, and those who do, are immediately attacked for doing so. It is no wonder the situation we find ourselves in.

medicare and social security are bankrupt now. the government keeps cutting medicare payments so more and more doctors are not accepting it. Who does it help?
I know a lot of people cannot speak out because of their work and all. but seriously, are Joe and Chris the only ones to put themselves out there? If so, why are people attacking some people personally by name if they themselves are too afraid to mention their own names?
If ObamaCARE goes thru I plan on opening a Funeral Home somebody
might as well make some money off
ObamaCare besides the politicians.
To the person who said our Founding Fathers would "kill these sob's," you are wrong about that. The Founding Fathers exercised leadership and quelled people from becoming "rabble," but at the right time, channeled the outrage and revolt with great thought.
Your comment, sir, is at the "rabble" stage.
Too bad the good people of Maryland are allowing MOB MENTALITY to rule. Since when is society ruled by mobs (supposedly made up of people who claim to be law and order supporters) rather than the rule of law? Shame on Maryland!
