Hey Congressman, why so secretive?

[tim huntzinger]

Say what one will about how eeeevilllll the Democrats lining up behind communized health care may be, but at least they are having forums and town meetings at places and times that the average voter can attend.  Over at His Checkered Pantedness' website, it appears 'Sully' is choosing his venues very very carefully (http://sullivan.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=140896).  What a chicken-lipped midget!

Would be interesting to see a group all show up in checkered pants.

Ha! Well since most of the meetings are at safe GOP clubs, you can bet that will be the case!

Hmmm??? I think your criticism is a bit misplaced.  There's several lunch dates on there and a telephone town hall at 7pm on the 25th, what ever that is.  I'd say he's getting out there quite a bit and not hiding after the public humiliation of his recent stint at BFC.

And looking at the 'Town Hall' meetings of others in the OK delegation he is not out of line.  What a fraud and a sham!  Most people 'work' during the day.  And I do not consider His Royal Checkered Pantedness giving some stupid canned fillibusters in front of the mashed potato circuit a public forum.  These doofuses are on our payroll and it is insulting that such fare are being used to demonstrate their public outreach.

Based on that assessment of the Oklahoma delegation, why did you focus in on Representative Sullivan then?  I would venture a guess that most all Congress(wo)men and Senators keep similar speaking engagements while they are out of session.

I agree, our district could have better representation, but it's rare for this seat to draw any sort of real opposition from the Democrats and any primary bids are token in nature only. 

Are you still pissed off about the pants, Tim?  Seems like your issues with Congressman Sullivan are a bit personal.

Maybe everybody serves drinks after 5.

I focus on 'Sully' because he is my Congressman. Duh.

You also have two Senators bright boy.

Two? Are you sure??? Stop your LYING ways, turd!

About the telephone Town Hall:  I've heard that they keep you on mute, you can submit questions, and the may get answered.  It's pretty locked down, and of course, no plaid pants.  Plaid is supposed to be "in" this year, btw.

Que the retaliation, then Know Nothing complaining about people attacking him, then the thread ends up totally worthless and gets locked.  So lets skip that step and just move on. . .


Yes, most people work during the day.  Yes, I would love to have a meeting after 5:30 at Joe Mamma's with my Congressman.  But that doesn't make him secretive.  It makes him a politician pandering to his base: conservative old Republicans who can attend meetings in the middle of the day and likely won't confront him or embarrass him to post it on YouTube.  I'd prefer something else but it isn't exactly secretive.

Call and attempt to setup an appoint or another town hall meeting with him.  Take off work if it is that important and attend one of this meetings.  Call in to the open call-in meeting.  If none of those avenues works for you and you want better action:  then whine on the internet.  Or skip all of the above and just vote against him next election.

Well, we can't offer to take him out and buy him a beer after work anymore.

I could not think of something that sounded like 'so serious' that started with 's'.  And you can call it whining if you want.  But that is just whining about someone whining so there you go.
