If this guy acted like this at my "town hall meeting". He wouldn't have any teeth left. I am really surprised the crowd sat there and let that POS sit there and belittle them like that. That tone in itself is why we are in the predicament we are in as a country

how insulting. people were asking legitimate questions and expressing legitimate concerns and he treated them like they were crazy.
i mean, im not one to support the AZ law, but i can understand why its there and why the people are angry. he didnt even try to answer the questions, he just made stupid, ridiculous, hypothetical questions.
what a jerk.

I'm sorry, I could only take two minutes of that boob. After the first forty seconds I wanted to punch him in the mouth. I'm so ticked at his smug attude an answers I agree with an earlier post, we need to clean house big time.

You know what the sad part is? Most of the Elected officials think they are above the people whe they are actually below us. They are public servants. Their job is simple serve the public that elected them and do so in full compliance with the Constitution.

This poor excuse for a human is a prime example what is wrong with America.

This is why we need 2 things:

1) term limits.
2) A removal proceedure.

I would have probally gone to jail for what I would have told him if he was my Rep.

I hold all elected officals to a much higher standard then I would another person.

This Idiot also proves that they look at the voters as lesser people like the lord/slave relationship of the middle ages.

Well I have a Message for the other Idiots out there like him.

We the People are Comming....

You have tread on us and we will strike soon.... See you at the balot box.

He should be dumped, like most incumbents in fact. For 38 years this incompetent boob has sat in congress. Makes more people want to run against him just to see his sorry butt removed and retired.

This is what you call a poor excuse for a congressman. How dare he treat these people in such a manner! I liked the end where the guy asked him what his plans for retirement were or something to that affect. That guy wouldn't last long in my area I'll tell ya.

What really pushed me over the edge was at the first fifteen second mark. "Does the Minutemen have something to say? Who are you gonna kill now?" Who the (blankety blank) does this idiot think he is? I'm really trying to watch this video, but damn his whole "I'm sooooo much better then you." attitude is really ticking me off. This should be on the national news . . yeah, I know it won't.

I have pondered this video. I enjoy studying people. I am a people watcher. What they do. Their behaviors. I will sit and contemplate why someone did this or that action.

The thing that seems to stand out to me here is that our elected leaders, especially in the legislative branch, tend to have loooooooong careers doing what they do. It is almost like a ruling class.

And it tends to end up this way, too. With party politics dominating the US, having a parent to give you a "leg up" in the party can get you your shot to run for an office a lot sooner. In this way it is less about skill and more about parental legacy.

To make it worse, there is money at play. With the current campaign finance system, offices are bought and paid for. If you raise more money, you most often will win. Even on local levels in a small town. The view that money = free speech is a huge travesty to our nation.

If we could get the campaign finance right, and then impose some term limits, we might see a more grounded senate. of course, the impact is a loss of legal experience...but that is a whole nuther topic (that includes banning lawyers from legislative seats).
