Making Stalin Proud

Barring people from opposing views from tax payer funded events where the President is informing the public selling his agenda for policy change in the Social Security System to the public is down right anti-democratic--figuratively and literally. Stalin would be proud of these people and their ways and means to disrupt the democratic process.

"The Denver incident was one of a number of events cited by Waxman in a letter asking the Government Accountability Office to calculate the cost of the president's '60 Stops in 60 Days' Social Security campaign.

Waxman said that expelling people with contrary views and promoting a partisan agenda are 'hallmarks of campaign events, not government-funded political meetings.'

A student was barred from a similar event in Arizona for wearing a Young Democrats T-shirt.

In North Dakota, a list surfaced that banned 42 people from getting tickets to another Bush speech in the campaign.

White House spokesman Allen Abney has refused to provide the cost of the Social Security trips, saying it is wrapped up in the annual presidential travel budget.

Taxpayers have paid more than $2 million just for the flights in the Social Security campaign, which is a bit more than half over, according to calculations made by The Washington Post."
