From The Duh! Files: America Not Happy With DC’s Failures

Let’s see, we had a housing market collapse because of risky liberal schemes that lent money to people who had no business taking on such loans but did line the pockets of a lot of DC insiders. The market collapse caused every home owner in America to lose massive amounts of equity (read - savings), but the liberals deny their own words about the entire mess.
We have had months of growing unemployment, even after a rushed stimulus bill was passed which promised to stem the tide of pink slips. Only to find out the stimulus package wasn’t really meant to stimulate a damn thing until late this year, early next.
And we have had an assault on our health care system which is expensive - not broken. The proposed cure is much worse than the problem of rising costs.
Amidst all this we have racked up mind blowing record deficits this year - all to no avail. It will take decades and generations to pay this wasted money back.
Congress and the Political Industrial Complex (media, lobbyists, insiders, etc) is apparently shocked that Americans are fed up with this mess?
Screaming constituents, protesters dragged out by the cops, congressmen fearful for their safety — welcome to the new town-hall-style meeting, the once-staid forum that is rapidly turning into a house of horrors for members of Congress.
On the eve of the August recess, members are reporting meetings that have gone terribly awry, marked by angry, sign-carrying mobs and disruptive behavior. In at least one case, a congressman has stopped holding town hall events because the situation has spiraled so far out of control.
“I had felt they would be pointless,” Rep.Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.) told POLITICO, referring to his recent decision to suspend the events in his Long Island district. “There is no point in meeting with my constituents and [to] listen to them and have them listen to you if what is basically an unruly mob prevents you from having an intelligent conversation.”
Ah, you can run but you cannot hide. If you refuse to listen we will refuse to vote for you. |
