1. What's said inside the office stays inside the office, and

2. Legislators are perfectly capable of compromising themselves without any assistance from you. Therefore, keep your political opinions to yourself publicly, and do not talk to the media or speak at any public event without prior permission, because whatever you say will reflect - for better or worse - upon the elected official who employs you.

And then I wonder why was there little notice of this:

The Houston Chronicle has addressed the "Dr." Roxana Mayer incident that Patterico posted on here and here. It specifically states Mayer is not a physician but is a University of Houston student as well as an organizer and delegate for the Obama campaign. In addition:

"U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said today she does not know the woman who falsely claimed to be a physician when she made a statement supporting the White House's health care overhaul at the congresswoman's town hall meeting Tuesday."

Mayer also said she has been advised not to talk further about this incident.

Which gets a little worse here:

I don't know if Jackson Lee had anything to do with Mayer's attendance. But I do know that Mayer was invited to the event by a radical Obama supporter who ran an Obama campaign office that sported a picture of Che Guevara.

Mayer yesterday told me that she was invited to the town hall meeting by a listserv message sent by Maria Isabel, who ran an Obama campaign office sporting a Che Guevara flag:

Look, Maria Che-Guevara lady, or whatever, I saw her at about three events during the primaries, and she was a county delegate, too. I know she has been very involved with a lot of stuff with the campaign, but I did not get involved in the general election. I am on a listserve where she sent out a message about the town hall. I haven't coordinated with her, didn't even say that I was going. She's a bit over the top, huh?

UPDATE: As I reported last night, the Lone Star Times was the first to report Ms. Isabel's presence, and her Che Guevara connection. What this post adds is the fact that Ms. Mayer was invited by Ms. Isabel (who is, by the way, one of Ms. Mayer's Facebook friends). In addition, most of the photos in this post are from the Lone Star Times site. They have done excellent work on this.

So, one questioner did not disclose his background, and one not only did not disclose her connections to the Obama campaign, but made up a background as a physician in order to make her expressed support for Obama's "plan" carry more weight.

As an aside, when Brophy's bike was stolen in Denver, he blamed the Democrats and said he was sure it was stolen by someone who voted for Obama.

How in the world can a private corporation providing insurance compete with an entity that does not have to worry about making a profit, does not have to pay local property taxes -- (applause) -- they do not have to -- they're not subject to local regulations? How can a company compete with that?

EXACTLY!!!!!!  Private health insurance CANNOT provide payment for healthcare more efficiently with a government insurance entity that does not have to make a profit and more.
