GOP Town Hall Explodes With Anger: ‘We’re Losing The Country’ So Quit Being ‘Nice Guys’!
Mediaite ^ | August 8, 2013 | Josh Feldman

If one Maryland town hall is any indication, Republican voters are not happy with how little Republican politicians are doing to reign in the government. Greta Van Susteren took viewers to a town hall where Congressman Andy Harris was confronted by constituents angry about NSA surveillance, the Obama administration, and Republicans not doing enough for them. One man scolded Harris, “We’re dying out here because you guys are being nice guys!”

One man complained about NSA spying, saying Congress needs to “come clean” with the public about the government’s secret interpretation of the law. Harris assured him that he’s personally outraged by NSA surveillance, adding that they have “not seen the end of” investigations into Benghazi and the IRS scandals.

Another man piped up, “Innocent people… are getting slammed by partisan politics.” Maryland resident Ed Hunter confronted Hunter directly, telling him John Boehner needs to start “defying” Obama and threatening him with impeachment if he doesn’t “start obeying the laws!” Hunter continued, “Listen, we’re dying out here because you guys are being nice guys!”, adding, “We’re losing the country! I want to see more defiance!”

I remember from somewhere that “nice guys finish last” . . . the candidates like Trey Gowdy, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul need our support. We need great white sharks (is that racist?) in our party to clear out the RINO’s and limp wristed.

This government depends on a lot of people doing nothing

But if the makers follow suit...what happens to the takers.

this is a seed of hope.

I opt for barracudas! I’d accept a mama grizzly as well.

“We’re losing the country! I want to see more defiance!”

Cry ‘Havoc,’ and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

Ya'...like release the flying monkey's or something, fercrissake.

Another man piped up, “Innocent people… are getting slammed by partisan politics.

but,..... its because the GOP Rep&Sens are NOT being partisan.... many are on the Dem side.

Partisan is when OPPOSITE sides clash.

...and this is in deep blue Maryland.

I know that the Demon Rat reps in Florida are SCREENING who gets in to their town hall meetings.....sending invites, then requiring you to “request” a free ticket.....which means they control the audience.

Commies.
