    Default Townhall Marine!

    I think he does an awesome job of letting his Congressman know how he feels about the job our govenment is doing!

    Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger

    I've seen it already, but always love to review it. I would love to shake his hand. What an excellent grasp of reality he has, and what an articulate way of putting it. I spoke to every feeling I have on the subject!

    That is one video I wish I could see.

    I have Youtube blocked at work and at home. The kids were sneaking on Youtube at home and my employees were doing the same at work so I cut them all off.

    These town hall meetings have done some good for the politicians. They can get to see how angry their constituents are when they make careless statements, like the one I heard on radio the other day.

    If they have half a brain in their heads (the politicians), they will pay attention to their constituents' concerns and stop calling them names just because they give voice to their concerns exactly to the person(s) who are supposed to take those views back to Washington with them.

    Brian Baird is a former small college professor in a subject most of us do not feel reflects real world thinking. He stalked Linda Smith, the previous rep all over for 2 terms before finally beating her. Being a D in this state is generally the key to remaining the incumbent.

    Linda Smith was quite capable & articulate. Her only drawback in the eyes of some voters, as a politico, was her RTL stance. She came long before Palin, but just as sharp. Would have made this state a good Governor.

    Brian Baird is a joke!
