PING!

Charles,
I sent an email to the congressman in question asking him for his take on the whole matter, and am awaiting a response. If I get one, I will be sure to post it!
Aah, some more free-association from the DUmmies. It must be nice not being restrained by little things like reality.
I saw this thread and marveled that people there fall for this stuff multiple times a month if not weeks.
You know exactly what happens in ALL of these cases.
Some little DUmmie sits around mom’s basement all day long longing to create their 15 minutes of internet fame. Or in the case of DUmmies their 50+ K&R’s. This lets them be on the front page for a good 24-48 hours. They develop a “following” or “credibility” of being a good little DUmmie.
So they pick out some elected representative they “confronted” read “concocted” and put together a string of their talking points that are refuted “weakly” or with counter “talking points” by the imaginary/concocted elected representative. Now of course you have the great variations of this, “Some racist teabagger at the grocery store.”, “My die hard conservative **INSERT RELATION HERE**.” or “My teabagger co-worker.”. They do all follow the same pattern of glorious DUmmie and weak minded teabagger without exception.
It’s amazing that you can write these almost verbatim regardless of person or subject involved after just reading a 2-3 of these.
They all want to be Joe the Plumber.

“Right down the street, here (in Freeport, Illinois), you have the Sensata company getting ready to lay off all of it’s workers and ship operations overseas. Your response was to write a letter and “beg” the CEO of Sensata to reconsider the move. You are a Congressman, sir!
There’s a reason corperations avoid opening production centers in democrat held areas...

And, in honor of onesaddhimmi here’s my “bouncy” story:
It’s Sunday afternoon and I just finished some gardening when a knock comes on my front door. I go to answer and here’s a guy with literature in his hand. I don’t normally bother with them but he looked earnest enough.
“Hi, I’m (Joe Blow) and I’m running for representative for this district”. I look at his literature and quickly see the (D) so I know that this will be short.
“I just want you to know that I’m a representative of the people. I don’t take any money from the corporations and won’t be beholden to them. In fact I’ll work to keep pressure on them...”
I handed the literature back to him and said, “Thanks but no thanks. We already have enough business-bashers in the legislature as it is”. He gave me a slightly hurt, slightly befuddled look and walked away.
Did you see the one where a poster was saying that a co worker came up to him and implied that where they were standing would be a good place to shoot from?
Of course, the hero confronted the rethug and came back to brag amongst his fellow travelers who told him to call the secret service but it sure seemed made up to me.
You'd think he'd come up with a better closing one-liner considering he had all day to construct his fantasy.
Many years later I found out he was a republican. Damned if I can remember his name.
You likely won’t get one. The Congressman is above this petty sort of thing.
Like WILLIAM RIVERS PITT did with Ty the Bounceyr.
Another FReeper Troll perhaps? Sounds like this freak just described Obama, his cabinet, Dem reps and the losers who fall for their BS and vote them into office.
The problem with the commie ‘RATS’ “Affordable Health Care Act” is that America can’t afford it. We can’t even keep Social Security from going broke. How the hell are we going to keep ObamaCare from bankrupting the country?
