Republicans can’t stand the heat, so they stay out of the Town Hall meetings - Las Vegas Democrat | Examiner.com
Republicans all across the country are running scared and hiding from their constituents. If you recall in August 2009 at Town Hall meetings around the country, republican members of Congress gladly held Town Hall meetings so the media could see Tea Party folk screaming in anger against health reforms promoted by Democrats and President Obama. GOP front groups such as Americans for (Corporate) Prosperity who co-opted the Tea Party, even sent out instructions on how to be loud and obnoxious at the Town Hall meetings. How to drown out the audience, basically, instructions on how to be a jerk on TV. This was cross promoted by Glenn Beck and Fox “News”.
Then in August 2010 Republicans again had the Tea Party Folk screaming at Town Hall meetings all across the country, this time for jobs, again directing their ire at Democrats and President Obama.
Now its August 2011 and Republicans now control the US House of Representatives, and their hiding from their constituents by either not holding Town Hall meetings or charging people to talk to them at Town Hall meetings. They are actually charging people to get a chance to ask a question, they have a warped vision of how democracy works.
