At Grayson Town Hall Meeting: "We thought it was going to be a real Town Hall. It wasn't." - Video

Here is video of a man who attended Democrat Alan Grayson's Town Hall Meeting last night in Orlando, Florida describing the scene that took place there. The first part of the video shows the number of anti-ObamaCare protesters outside, many of them with homemade signs. But the man explains that only about 30 were allowed inside the Town Hall Meeting because 95 of the 126 seats available were already taken by Democrats who had attended a previous meeting. This man said:

Here' the bottom line: It was stacked against the citizens of the 8th Congressional District. There were 126 seats in the room. They let in 31 people. The rest were stacked with people who were in a previous Democrat meeting. I was embarrassed to be in the room. I'm a Vietnam Veteran, there were World War II veterans in wheelchairs outside who didn't get in. A lot of Democrats were allowed in, and a lot of pro-Grayson people allowed in the back door. It was (shaking head)... I was ashamed. We thought it was going to be a real Town Hall. It wasn't. Ninety-five of 126 seats were already taken. Shame on him. Shame on him.
If the Democrats think they are going to benefit from behavior like this, they are going to be sadly mistaken come election day 2010.

Here's more video of what went on outside the hall that we posted last night. . . . . . (Watch Video)

They are taking their cue from the contrived meetings Obama has held.

...and in the process, in ignoring their own constituents, they are sealing thier miserable fates.

The slumbering giant is stirring.

You are going to have to add another slab to that bridge to nowhere, Jeff.

Amnesty is coming.

I am sorry, but I really don't comprehend why there remain ANY Americans who are surprised by Liberal political tactics. What rock have they been living under? There is nothing new in the kind and extent of abjectly unethical and outright criminal irregularities which Liberals never shrink from implementing to achieve their goals. Why is anyone on earth still shocked?

O and his cabal have a new game. Start the meeting early and then only those ‘special’ people will be in attendance.

O pulled this stunt at the VFW event the other day. The hall was only 2/3 filled because, as explained by O aides, he started an hour early because he wanted to get home already after four days on the road.

This was at an IBEW Local union hall in Orlando. It was rigged from the start. The "meeting" prior to Grayson's appearance was a Democrat organization. So of course there were no seats left for Grayson's "town hall".

One local station, Brighthouse cable network's Channel 13, commented on the town hall. But NOT ONCE did they mention it was held at IBEW Union hall, NOT once did they explain the idiots already in the building were Obama supporters (and some of the dummies were wearing their 'Look at me I'm astroturf' color-coordinated union t-shirts) and they never took a good tv shot of the outside crowd estimated to be over 1,000 people.

Let me repeat that: nothing was explained about the 125 Democrats stuffing the IBEW Union hall and nothing about the 1,000 people outside. A few sign shots from the tv cameras but that was it. The most outlandish comment of the evening was from Grayson himself who said that he had "NO IDEA" that this many people would show up. What an ass.
