You Don't Know It

Congressman John Dingell holds a Town Hall meeting on August 6thm 2009. He didn't promote the event and held it in a room that held 150 at most. More than 600 people showed up and, as you can see from these videos, Congressman Dingell's constituents are not happy. The front rows were stacked with his supporters BTW.

In This particular video, the Congressman takes a very condescending attitude toward his constituents in this clip. He trys to tell them what they "don't know".

But one thing he knows - next election and he is out.

That's for sure.

That he knows.

This is a quote from then Senator Obama on September 17, 2008 at a rally in Nevada.

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.

We are only doing what Obama wants you to do to us but we are turning the tables ...you have just been owned by a conservative.

@donttelluseenme No it is Detroit that is going to close I can't remember the number of schools but it is a very high number,they are talking something like 60 students per classroom,that should really help those students get a quality education.but yes Michigan is in very sad shape if you want to see something sad go to Detroit and see what has happened to that city,it has lost someting like 45% of it population since I believe the 1980"s.

@yooperpower Isnt it Michigan that has to close like 40% of their schools? I think I heard that on the news. Its sad that the Unions and the Dems trashed Michigan. I remember when I was a small child my dad taking me to go watch hocky games in Michigan and as I kid I thought WOW Michigan was cool but now as an adult it has changed and all I see is a broken state. Michigan is the model of what the USA would look like if we let the Dems and unions run the country.

Is that Dingell guy crippled or just to lazy to stand up?

[yooperpower]

Because come election time many people in Michigan become idiots,believe everything the union assholes tell them, can't think on their own.Our congressman Bart Stupak is terrified to come to a townhall meeting,will hold a tele-conference where you can phone in or e-mail your questions.real brave of you Bart.

I pay $15,000 in premiums for around $1000 a year of care. That's a rip off. Ins companies are the richest companies in the world, thanks to favorable legislation from Congress. It's no coincidence, that the second I decided to completely drop my health insurance policy and self insure, Congress decided to FORCE me to buy insurance, at crazy high profit margins to the Insurance companies, or go to jail.

Federal agents guns will force me to make the richest companies in the world, even richer.

ouch, thats gotta hurt.

pointy words! :)
