Why Republicans Won’t Hold Public Meetings
Here’s Kansas governor Jeff Colyer getting confronted time after time about his refusal to expand Medicaid for 150,000 Kansans. He gets increasingly more agitated as person after person asks about Medicaid. Finally he just says it – “I’m not going to debate this with you.”
The video is pretty telling and the real reason most super conservative Republicans refuse to have open meetings with normal people.
Look, Guv. If this is the way you are going, just plain old resign and retire to a fishing hole somewhere. This is part of your job. If you don’t like the way that part turned out, change it for the better. Whiners just don’t cut the mustard.
1I’m increasingly coming to the conclusion that things won’t change until there is a Great Shortening of the 1% and their minions.
2Sucks when people force you to acknowledge that your decisions as governor have moral implications.
3Government of the people, by the,,,,,people, for the,,,,,,,,,,wait.
4Of the people, check.
by the people,,,,,,,,sorta.
for the,,,,,,,,well,,,,,corporations and billionaires are people, right? Didn’t Romney say that?
so, for the people, check.
Whew. Who knew this stuff was such hard work?
Eventually a price will be paid by the GOP for their greed, and their immoral, inhumane policies. Can’t come soon enough.
5Wait… you’re supposed to do stuff for… *people*? *People* can actually get up in your face? This job involves dealing with *people*?
Forget it.
6Somewhere along the way, Republicans began to think that they knew what was good for Americans and by God! they were going to force us to know it too. Allowing people to voice their opposition is just too uncomfortable for them, so town halls became thing of the past. Their greed, hypocrisy and total disregard for the common man have made them what they are today: an abomination.
