Too much yelling, not enough listening.

Ummmm. Who came up with the idea that the American people should LISTEN to their PUBLIC SERVANTS?! Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

Here is my Q&R for my leftie friends:

Are you satisfied with the government’s handling of the economy?

Welcome to the TEA PARTY.

After what happened in 2009 when all those angry town hall meetings denouncing Obamacare, small wonder why the Democrats in Congress are skipping town hall meetings.

Especially when they could be subject to a figurative tar and feathering from the hostile constituents....

These clowns need to remember they work for us, we ask the questions, they answer the questions. It is called accountability.

You don't like being questioned, find an other job.

"My" Congressman was confident and skilled enough at working the crowd that he held a series of town hall meetings in all corners of his district.

Of course he has a "safe seat" with a solid Democrat majority to vote for his re-election. The only organized faction to appear was from the Lyndon LaRouche supporters - and the Congressman appears to get along quite well with them.

I have seen this Congressman speaking with constituents who were not so friendly. He deals with them tactfully and with respect.

The unfortunate fact in this district is that a real majority of the voters want socialist government and are not willing to compromise with their opponents in any way. Every failure that piles up around around them merely causes them to dig in and insist that government must do more.

The politicians who rule here are quite accurate representatives of what most of the voters want("Free stuff for meeeeee!"). Reality that might contradict the desires of the people is not a consideration. "You cannot reason someone out of something that they did not reason themselves into".

Conservatives must plan accordingly.
