Recall this cretin!

Any excuse for the rulers to ignore the people ...

The lessons of August, get up close and personal and see how really stupid dumb your congressional clunker really is.

I doubt the congressional clunkers understand the concept of representative republic anymore.

Louise Slaughter is an unapologetic extreme liberal who has represented part of upstate New York for years. She represents a very liberal constituency, so she could care less what individuals in her district who happen to disagree with her have to say. I wouldn’t waste my time even thinking about her.

Slaughter is awful. She is not even from Western NY. In addition to her appearance being very unattractive, she has an entitled attitude, and never faces competition in a gerrymandered district designed just cover the SEIU/AFSCME and Gov’t hand-out strongholds of corrupt Niagara Falls and Buffalo.

Good. They can have their own townhall meeting without her. Then they won’t have to listen to a load of BS from the Congresscritter.

A craven coward.

He believes we all work for him, so why should he hear from us?

So, the Dems want health care reform, but they don’t want to hear opposing views. My, my, how very communistic.

“Those People” she is referring to must go door to door to expose this arrogant Elitist. Expose her reprehensible arrogance and get this slime voted out of office ASAP. Notify this arrogant in-your-face so-called politician that she can start packing now because We The People are Coming. She’s TOAST.

“...the enemy within...” could also be called domestic terrorists and/or traitors, IMO.

Rep. Slaughter, meet the tireless, irate minority.

She’s originally from Kentucky, she’s an outrageous left wing liberal, the worst possible representative her severly depressed upstate district could send to Congress.

That’s terrible?

Can you not take this to court under some sort of civil rights aspect of law, in that you are denied representation?

Many have tried, and I think sometimes they succeed. But...who controls the courts?
