Here is a video report on Florida Democrat Rep. Allen Boyd's Town Hall Meeting held in Panama City last night, where about half his audience decided to walk out in frustration over what they said was his unwillingness to give any straight answers to questions.

Boyd had postponed the Town Hall Meeting from August. He did vote against the Health Care Bill passed by the House of Representatives this past Saturday. . . . (VIDEO)

Thanks!

Even voting against PelosiCare may not save some blue dogs. Good.

***He did vote against the Health Care Bill passed by the House of Representatives this past Saturday.***

So, can we determine that the audience was comprised of hardcore *Gubmint Gimmees*.

The DemocRAT might have voted against the Obamakare bill, but his constituents didn’t like his stance on other issues like Cap and Tax and the Stimulus stupidity.

This was an irritating video. The reporter spoke through the footage of the town meeting. She said that he didn’t give straight answers and yapped on and on. I would have loved to have heard at least one example of the question and the answer-—especially what prompted them to walk out.
Bad reporting and (irritating nasally voice). But, that’s just me.

"I ask folks to be respectful of each other." he said with a straight face.

MORON! Time to Get Out Of Our House!

The report seemed to indicate Boyd wanted to talk more about his “No” vote on Health Care while the audience wanted to ask him questions on other issues. When they did, they grew frustrated that he did not give “simple answers” to their questions, but instead gave evasive or rambling answers. That’s about all the report gives us.

See post 8 for the basics. They interviewed 1 citizen that walked out who said the critter wouldn't give them a simple answer to any question.

They interviewed the critter who basically said he understood the people's frustration. (or something like that)

“Clean the House” is a shorter message with more punch.

Unfortunately, this clown’s district includes Tallahassee, which is full of voters who feed from the government trough. He is likely to hang on to his seat.

He won about 60% of the vote in the 2008 election.

I watched a town hall on C-SPAN some time ago which Barney Frank held in his district. He also didn't give any straight answers.
