Wayne Gilchrest sat down with the Chestertown Spy before a speaking engagement at the Book Plate bookstore on Cross Street on Friday night. In keeping with his reputation as a straight shooter, the former congressman spoke candidly on what is wrong with Washington, the Republican party, his successor Frank Kratovil, and life after Congress.
Eric Cantor was reelected because he represents the corporations and big world bankers who are currently in control. Glad you survived Vietnam, Wayne. I appreciate your sensible stand on immigration and borders and a genuine intention to reform healthcare. Also, I had a crush on you in the 3rd grade (Franlkin School). patricia

jaclyngregory: Your ignorance is amazing. Wayne Gilchrest was a school teacher /house painter. He taught me and my children at Kent County High School, he is also a former combat Marine from Vietnam. Show some respect and go back to getting ALL of your opinions from Glenn Beck you sheep. There was a term invented for you during WWII : USEFUL IDIOT!!!

The healthcare bill, along with Cap and Tax and many other pieces of legislation passed by this power-hungry congress are nothing but pieces of excrement. Notice how Eric Cantor is still in Congress while you were fired. Maybe because, unlike you, he actually represents the values of the people who sent him there. You would think being fired would give you a wakeup call, but all it did was make you bitter and cause you to look for someone to blame.

You keep telling yourself that's why you lost your primary, Wayne. The people of the first district voted you out because you were just another career politician who forgot how to represent the people who sent you to DC. When the Congress attempts to violate the Constitution and the will of the people, it is the obligation of members of the congress who remember their oath to do what is necessary to block that violation.
