Hmmm…

Looks like the silent majority is no longer silent… Average Americans are getting up in their congresscritter’s faces, and they are NOT being polite about it in these town hall meetings when the congresscritters try to read their talking points and ignore the questions coming from the audience (also known as their constituents).


The congresscritters are whining about not being “respected” in these meetings.
Gee, I wonder why...

Note to the congresscritters- You have to EARN respect, and y’all haven’t done a really good job of that over the last few years…

Some Democrats are blaming Republicans and lobbyists for stirring up the hornet’s nest. Yeah, right…

Brian Smoot, who served as political director at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, warned Republicans about engaging in these kinds of ambushes. Excuse me???

“It’s a risk that they align themselves with such a small minority in the party … They risk alienating moderates,” he said.

Press Secretary Gibbs said today this is “manufactured anger”, and admitted the Lightbringer hasn’t and won’t read the bill…

Interestingly, I got a call from a friend at one of the three letter places, he heard on the radio yesterday that one of MD’s finest is going to hold a “town hall” but its by invitation only and all questions must be submitted in advance.


Anybody else see something wrong with this???

Go over to Cranky Prof she has an excellent post up about equal treatment… 🙂

Back to your regularly scheduled BS…

  1. But.. but.. but I can remember just a couple of years ago, dissent was the highest form of patriotism.

  2. RE: The Joker posters of both Presidents.

    Darn! I wish I had my copy of “Animal Farm.”

    Something to the effect that “Some animals are more equal then others.”

  3. The dems are running scared. Dennis Moore (D-KS), rep from just across the state line won’t schedule any meeting until September. Then, it will be in the morning on a work day and only for “seniors.” He’s hoping AARP will pack the place as usual but he’s going to be mistaken. The conservative radio in KC is watching and reporting.

    Ike Skelton, my former rep until I was gerrymandered into Cleaver’s district hasn’t scheduled any meetings. Cleaver has one, schedule during a work day like Moore for “registered”—read that as ACORN, visitors only.

    The Joker poster is spreading. I’ve had several queries asking if I knew where full sized posters can be found.

  4. I just did a post about the town meeting we had with Steve Kagen in Green Bay, and yes, the meeting was not quiet, it was a rowdy, in your face, we’re sick to death of the BS you’re trying to force feed us, kind of meeting. Too bad they had to have the cops show up and quiet it down. But I’m pretty sure Dr. Kagen got the point.

  5. Wyatt- But they WON…

    Paw- Yeah, but not with THEM in charge… sigh…

    Anon- Ah… the answer is pigs 🙂

    Crucis- Yep, there is more and more of that going on! and I DO hope the talk radio keeps the heat on by letting folks know when the meetings are. We’re talking about taking a day of vacation just so we can attend… 🙂

    EL- Yep, cops are becoming the normal response… pretty sad…

    RT- I guess they figured that was “safe”…
