This is what the tea bagger efforts are intended to do.

An AFL/CIO individual was included on a Republican strategy phone call about the Democratic townhall event. Here is what the Republicans are trying to do:

According to AFL-CIO's notes, the moderator on the call said, "The goal is not compromise, and ANY bill coming out this year would be a failure for us."

Another organizer added, "The purpose of Tea Parties is not to find a solution to the health care crisis -- it is to stop what is not the solution: Obamacare."

A spokesperson for the American Liberty Alliance told Greg that these sentiments "may have been expressed" on the call, though she isn't sure about the exact language.

Gee. What a surprise.

Remember, these guys are members of a political minority party. They want their views forces on all of us.
