It's a funny thing when the shoe is on the other foot! Now that the Dems hold unvetted power over the Senate and Congress they seem to believe descent from the public is disruptive and unproductive. This was not the case in their unrelenting war to speak out against the war in Iraq or any of Bushes policies. Even if some of the current protests at town halls are spurred by "right wing" radicals, the left needs to remember they have their fringe as well and the dems used their fringe to gain support for an agenda different from Bush.
To the Dems I say - Suck it up!!! Your anger and rage is mis-placed and the frustration and arogance you display to the electorate may come back to get you at election time.
At the very least it's encouraging to see that the people of the US still hold the power and when motivated to affect the out comes in Washington the end result will be better for the country.
