Attention Media, This is what Astroturf looks like
The Service Employees International Union says Mainers will deliver the pies Thursday to all 17 district offices of Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins and Reps. Mike Michaud and Chellie Pingree.In the BDN's article about the Bangor tea party, the reporter felt obligated to quote representatives from both the Democrat party and the Maine People's Alliance (a liberal 'activist' group). No one other than the SEIU press release is quoted here. Go figure.In its announcement urging support for President Obama’s health care reform proposals and the Employee Free Choice Act, the SEIU said “good jobs and affordable health care are as American as blueberry pie.”
Over 300,000 Americans attend tea parties? They're right-wing, gun-loving, astroturfing puppets of Fox News. 235 union members/supporters deliver pies to Congressional offices? They're activists.

So Pelosi dredged up the 'astroturf' line again.
When inflation hits double digits next year and people are worse off than they are now, what will they do then?
Democrats and liberals are much better at clever sound-bites and demonizing others that they just won't be able to believe they have really hurt the country with their policies.

I've never heard the phrase "American as blueberry pie." American as apple pie, sure. Blueberry? Not really.
Maybe that's the point...
