Senator Heller of NV told his constituents he’d a hold a town hall if they’d promise there would be no booing, but the crowd broke its promise. Hahaha.

Barely five minutes into the presentation, people booed Heller loudly when he said he wanted to repeal the Dodd-Frank Act, a 2010 banking reform bill.

There’s another way to shut this asshole up. Don’t vote for him. Fuck these people. They send people like this to DC where they can fuck with us all. Indian sends King. Texas sends this prick. My state sends a shit load of them. It gets harder and harder as the days go by to sympathize with these pissed off townhaller’s when they’ve always be in control of what’s angering them. They can vote it away.

I love the smell of mcKarma in the morning…It smells of defeat.

"You work for us."This should be the opening statement every night on the 6 o’clock news.

I’d like to start a GoFundMe appeal to bring Molly Ivins and Anne Richards back to take on this Congressweasel…

Barton is an industrial-grade asshole who gets elected because most of his constituents are redneck hillbillies from rural TX (not too far from Dallas). His district would love to bring back lynchings and segregation; also too, Jeebus’ bible being mandatory in public school. Barton has been a total tool of big business and couldn’t give a rat’s rear about his constituents.

These gerrymandered jackasses live in an alternative reality bubble that has thus far sheltered them from opposing views. As long as they can distract people with guns and babies, they can continue to rob them blind. Maybe that bubble is starting to crack?

MSNBC had a town hall in WV with Trump Voters and Bernie. It was sadly interesting watching them discuss how they believed Donnie’s lies about employing coal workers and keeping their insurance.

They appear to be seeing the light. Too late.

"I did, however, return to him for the last question of the meeting and allow him the opportunity to voice his concerns.”

“… I am against violence against women. I never hit my wife. I just call her a stupid bitch and order her to shut up. But later I let her buy something nice.”

“You work for us!”

That’s cute.

They’ve had so little interaction with their constituents that it’s comes as a surprise that they’re unhappy. Their aides answer email and phone messages, lobbyists blow smoke up their ass daily, other Rs tell them all is well, and so here is the truth. The people who elect them are saying “Listen to us!” in the strongest terms possible.

@charliee It’s way past time for polite.

The good news is that the voters can return the favor in 2018 and send Barton back to the anonymity he truly deserves.

The way to do that is to win state legislative seats and governorships. In Texas that means turning out Hispanics in off year elections. Get to work.

All that matters to them are the Koch Bros. and LaPierre. If some poor schmuck too likes what they are doing, well that’s nice.

DAMN those pesky constituents that know how this whole Democracy thingy works…‘YOU WORK FOR US’ you little twerp. Joe Barton was on last night whining about those nasty people that want health care ‘for free’ and I remembered for all the little dickish crap he spews. On of my favs was ‘At a 2009 hearing on renewable energy, Barton asserted that large-scale wind power projects could slow down God’s method for cooling the earth and possibly contribute to global warming.’
