"After McCain opened it up to questioning, one man angrily pointed at him and asked the senator why he deserves a better health care plan than him."

"Other audience members in the crowd of 2,000 told McCain about their medical problems, such as HIV and multiple sclerosis."

What's up with that. I thought the reps. were supposed to just take it.
Doesn't she pay his salary? Doesn't he work for her?

Isn't he the one people were wanting to save them from the "god awful socialist democrats" in their leader choice?

If so, why is he backing it?

I suppose it would depend on how much she was disrupting the town hall meeting. I for one do not agree with being unruly and disrespectful toward any of the Senators and Congressmen/women that attend these town hall meetings. You can be passionate about your topic, and even be stern, but yelling and creating a scene is not the way to get your point across. It's counter-productive.

Having said that, McCain is just another career politician in my book. He says what he thinks will get him re-elected. BTW, I'm for term limits in Congress.

McCain is basically a lifetime Federal employee, and like Obama has never even run a lemonade stand let along a business. Neither has any qualifications to run anything but their mouths.

I agree with your first paragraph.

And , if it's true he had her thrown out then I agree with McCain!

As to your second paragraph....we HAVE term limits....it's called VOTING....just vote against the person you don't want in office again...if enough people agree with you...term over.

If she was yelling when someone else in the audience had the microphone, I'd throw her out, too. She should only yell at McCain when she has the microphone so we all know what she's yelling at him. I think this is in Robert's Rules of Order.

The yelling will stop when government ceases and desists from its interventionist tactics. Until then, it will get louder and, yes, more perilous for these politicians to even attend these meetings.
