At least the town hall meetings have turned to ****. Maybe these bastards will eventually figure out that they are culpable.

The anger these guys are facing during their recess is absolutely one of the reason the O admin wanted health care pushed thru beforehand...no way is any semblance of it gonna pass now.

Great Ticker, Gen... Sent this whole string of posts about town meetings to my rep, VA-5, I still want to know if he READ the 1300 page Pelosi c(r)ap and tax bill. I expect I'll get a chance to ask him face to face next month as more meetings are expected locally

Talked to my reps sec. a few weeks ago, (He did not vote for any of this BS) showed proof of JPM oil tanker deal and GS BS. He knows and the answer was they need to take back the house in 2010. I asked did they think we could make it that far? Response was yes, Then I asked did she not know tax revenues are in the toilet and decreasing every day? Deer in the headlights look and no response. Asked if she had enough ammo WTSHTF jaw dropped and hit the floor. they have no clue what the people think about the Fed. Gov. They think they can keep kicking that can forever. One day the people will wake up. I hope it is not after they destroy the USA. ---------- What goes up Must come Down- Alan Parsons Project THE TRUTH HURTS! -Dji

I'm convinced that the error of decades of spending this country into the ground will not become real to the DC politicians until one or a few are kicked into a pulp by their own constituents. Math and reason does not work in DC - they are more out of touch with heartland America than Hollywood.

Quote:“I had felt they would be pointless,” Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.) told POLITICO, referring to his recent decision to suspend the events in his Long Island district. “There is no point in meeting with my constituents and [to] listen to them and have them listen to you if what is basically an unruly mob prevents you from having an intelligent conversation.” he didn't even think to ask WHY... it's like they live in a bubble in dc. oh, wait. So they will go on recess and ignore their constituents. nice. EDIT: BTW, they will ALL get away with it too. Because the people in this country have too short of a memory. We're getting the government we deserve because we keep voting these people back in to office. ---------- "Americans grew tired of being thought of as dumb by the rest of the world, so in 2008, they went to the polls and removed all doubt" ~~ unknown http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2x2W12A8Qow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4 Last modified:

Pardon Gen for the political snipe, just one and then I quit:Quote:“There is no point in meeting with my constituents and [to] listen to them and have them listen to you if what is basically an unruly mob prevents you from having an intelligent conversation.” Maybe because people are tired of having to listen to what the politicians are always wanting to selling them instead of having an intelligent debate over policy. If you get outside the "teleprompter box" then most modern day politician's lack the necessary skills for true debate.

Quote:“There is no point in meeting with my constituents and [to] listen to them and have them listen to you if what is basically an unruly mob prevents you from having an intelligent conversation.” I've found in my life that whenever an angry mob is waiting for me somewhere, it's usually due to them being displeased with my actions. It appears the Rep is too dense to have figured that out. ---------- While at a conference a few weeks back, I spent an interesting evening with a grain of salt. Last modified:

These same ****ers are contemplating selling your town halls for their payroll cash and having you pay the lease forever. Unruly mob has yet to be seen.

Gen I find it ironic to compare the 1300 page bills with our standards for peer reviews. (For those outside the computer programming business: a peer review is a detailed review by the other programmers on the project [peers] of a piece of software or a requirements or design document.) Since we want a thorough, technical review, the process can't be rushed. Hence the rules are: 1. No more than 20 pages to review at one meeting 2. The reviewers must have the code or document at least 2 business days before the review, so they have time to analyze the code or document before the meeting. (You don't read at the meeting; at the meeting you discuss issues that people have found during their preparation.) ---------- Any bank too big to fail must be broken up immediately.

I lost a customer last week because he and I got into a heated debate over the health care plan, I am opposed to it. When the discussion got deeper and the subject of party politics came up, I let it be known that both parties are corrupt and everyone should be removed from office and that we should rinse and repeat until the people we send to Washington start representing the people. At that point he promptly stood up and called me a NAZI vowing to never return. Never mind that he earlier told me he has always been treated honestly and fairly in the past. Oh well, if that is what takes to wake up the masses, I can handle it.

I think we can all safely say that Congress has been properly briefed. Whatever happens, they all know now, and can no longer hide behind their claim of ignorance, or "no time to read the bill" or anything else. Even the short bus riders around here know exactly what you are talking about. BTW, I'm not crazy about the new mug shot AV, but know why you changed it:) ---------- I always leave cookies.
