Yep. @tena called it yesterday. Spineless fuckwads.
How convenient.
The Democrats should step up their townhalls.
Barletta said he believes town halls have âbecome such, really, just targetsâŚâ
And there it is: The perfect GOP excuse.
For running and hiding from the very people theyâre supposed to represent.
Who are livid that Republicans want to take away healthcare from their children.
To give a $600 billion tax cut to the Koch brothers, and hedge-fund managers, and Wall Street.
âWe want to do town halls, but theyâre just too dangerous now â and itâs all the fault of progressive thugs!â
Outside of a book title and a thermometer, whatâs less that zero?
Profiles in courage.
With the extortion condition of âmaybe weâll do them again if Dems apologize for being such mean jellybeans!â
From HuffPo:
They should do that thing of going into republican districts and holding them, that was great.
The deomcrats should be intensifying the âadopt a districtâ tactic. âSince your representative wonât show up to answer questions, I did.â
âWe will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men â not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.â
Barletta is your typical GOP Rentboy.
I love how they have all this concern about civility now that one of their own got shot.
The real Town Hall is November, 2018. Be there.
Republicans won congress on gun rights and violence. Now they are scared to do a town hall because of gun violence. Wow, the hypocrisy. Democrats have been fighting for decades to have some kind of rational gun control, and no support from republicans.
GOPer: Lawmakers Should âAbsolutelyâ Cut Down On Town Halls After Shooting
Or try passing some legislation that doesnât fuck 90% of your constituents
What a concept
You might be surprised at the reception at the town halls then
Of course crickets on gun control legislation.
Cutting off constituent access because your pro-gun policies workedâŚ
Or they will âhaveâ to hire an extremely expensive security detail to protect their precious asses from their constituents. At our expense, naturally. Refreshing to see how they deal with a real-world problem for one day. In other words, they canât.
