Pete Sessions - Town Hall Meeting (08-05-2009) - Intro

[carrolljackson]

Sessions did a good job in getting a variety of comments and questions. There was some rancor, but he did a good job of controlling a huge crowd. He was well informed on the issues.

Thanks for putting his opening statement out there.

I do NOT think this is about agreeing to disagree, that line is being used by all the politicians. This is about THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. end of subject...

He was just trying to keep it organized and civil. He called on 60 and older men next and then every one was allowed up but then it ran out of time. He ran a half hour over as it was. Unlike Obama he did not screen the questions or the people and there were a lot of democrats asking questions. EVERY ONE was welcome to come. I personally sat next to a lot of people that were unaware that he had his own ideas about fixing health care that it wasn't just about voting no on all of it.

Sessions from the beginning wimped out by calling on only woman 60 or older to ask questions. He knew they weren't there to ask questions that would challenge him.Talk about stacking the deck. Hiding behind old woman's skirts. I don't know where you sat, but I didn't hear any "liberals" insulting people.

It was clear from the gentleman that gave the opening remarks that this was a Republican Party rally and not a town hall meeting. Such a shame.

You are a close minded.
