Health care resistance in Holly Springs (Rep. David Price debates crowd of conservatives on video)
Right Angles ^ | January 23, 2010 | Jon Ham

I don’t think Rep. David Price, D-NC, expected this. Call it the post-Scott Brown Tea Party phenomenon. He’s clearly uncomfortable in the video, which is via Randy Dye’s blog.

The crowd was civil, but not subservient. They didn’t buy any of his glib professorial answers. Here’s what Betty Dye, who posted it on YouTube, had to say:

Congressman Price meeting with citizens at Cultural Center in Holly Sprigs NC Jan 23, 2010. None of his supporters showed up, just us. 5 Policeman ended up being called in to observe event, once again Conservatives had a peaceful debate with a progressive liberal.

Could be an interesting election season.

David Price is asked about the Constitutional authority for health care deform. For those unable to view the video, here's the gist of it...

Price: The Constitutional authority for health care deform is social security and medicare.

Crowd: Huh? Then what's the Constitutional authority for social security and medicare?

Price: The Constitutional authority for social security and medicare is the precedent set by social security and medicare.

Crowd: ?!?!?!

Now is probably a good time to remind you that Frank Roche is challenging Price...

Thank you for that link. Thanks to all for this video and the report.

Had the great pleasure of working with lots of others to help defeat Price in 1994 (Chief Heineman beat him - then the NC Dems gerrymandered his district and he got back into power).

Will do whatever I can (be it ever so little) to send Mr. Price packing in 2010!!!! (or to scare him into retirement).

Price is not accustomed to having to speak to an unfriendly crowd.

I HATE seeing his face smoothly lying on that local “interview” show where Price coos about his stupid Dem agenda....as if anybody watches his lies...

Oh, may we say in 2010 to Price - YO TIME IZ UP!

When I was in college I worked in a sporting goods store He, his wife, and daughter came in to buy workout clothes. This was about 20 years ago. His daughter at the time was nice looking.

Price has responded to a few of my emails over the years. He’s a big government liberal that often brings up the deficit as a way to argue against tax cuts.

Price is an idiot.

No, really..........he is.

I posted a thread here on FR years ago about a town hall meeting during which I publicly ate his lunch. This was LONG before doing such things was “fashionable”. He was arrogant, ill-informed, haughty, and totally incapable of responding to facts with anything resembling a lucid response.

I was.....well, polite.....but made him look like a total fool. It was way, way too easy.

I don’t know the makeup of his district, but I wonder if he’s just out there to test the waters for other dims. That is, trying to get a feel for how badly pushing forward on obamacare will play in certain areas of the country.

But he is a well-educated idiot, doncha know. And he is just so smooth and soft spoken.

I think he gave Harry Reid speech lessons so they could compete on who speaks the most softly.

Can we help the Repub defeat him this year???? It will be very tough given his gerrymandered district which (the large part of it) ALWAYS votes Dem.

I’m in.
