If Sheila Jackson-Lee is any indication.
Maybe this is why Democrats don't want to discuss health care reform at their townhalls. It's just not as important as whatever else they have going on.
And when the Democrats aren't insulting voters with their behavior at the townhalls, we have Democrat plants who are
lying at them. And worse, the plant gets all cheeky when she's revealed to be a liar.
Here's her bloviation:
I guess since Obama didn't need credentials, we shouldn't expect supporters to be honest, either.
We've been told that the plants are those opposed to Obamacare. Yet, it seems like the types and number of plants at the townhalls are more closely allied with proponents of the plan than those who don't like it or are, at least, skeptical about it.

UPDATE: A friend let me know that the Houston Chronicle has corrected the story. Here's the salient part:
One supporter, Roxana Mayer, praised the reform plan for overhauling a broken system.
“I don't know what there is in the bill that creates such panic,” she said.
Mayer identified herself as a physician who does not live in Jackson Lee's district. However, her name does not appear in the database maintained by the Texas Medical Board, which licenses all doctors in Texas.
In an e-mail to the Chronicle on Thursday morning, Mayer confirmed she is not a licensed physician.
"I have been advised to refrain from making any further statements," she said.
In the initial story about the event, the Chronicle reported that she was a doctor based on her claim at the meeting.
Today, Jackson Lee denied knowing Mayer.
