Here is video of Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee talking to Greta Van Susteren tonight about the controversy over her Town Hall Meeting recently where she actually talked on her cell phone while a woman was seeking to ask her a question.
Lee said she was "not ignoring" the woman, but when Greta pressed her for answers as to why she would do such a thing, Lee constantly filibustered in her answers. Van Susteren had a hard time getting a word in edge-wise, actually proving the point that Sheila Jackson Lee likes to talk but does not care to listen to anyone!
Lee said "the video looked kind of strange." Greta said, "It look bad." . . . . . (Watch Video)

I supported John Faulk in his campaign last year. TX-18 voted 77% Zero but there is a vocal minority of fed-up Republicans and independents that desperately wants new congressional representation.
I attended Wednesday night’s town hall meeting with SJL (not the one at which she took phone calls), and Faulk was in attendance. We in the opposition made sure to express our side at the event; there was palpable tension in the room. The frowny SEIU and ACORN people (with t-shirts!) were front and center, but overall it was about 50-50.
I do too. Sheila is just abjectly awful. The district is gerrymandered to Voting Rights Act specifications, and is currently rated as the 400th most Republican district in the US (i.e., near the bottom, at D+24) in the Cook Partsan Voting Index, so candidates who are not Marxists admittedly face an uphill battle.
Wow. Sounds like a battle and then some. I will keep the faith. Miracles do happen.
I am afraid I need to learn more about the Voting Rights Acts, Cook Partsan Voting Index, etc. I am familiar but that is about it.
Good luck with your battle. Faulk is lucky to have you in his corner.
