I don't have that much time on my hands as you do, and I see you feel very strongly about this, but it's one-sided. I'm sure there are just as many if not more examples on the left. I suspect that some of these incidents were response to some sort of attack against them to begin with.

Why don't you include the list of those on the left also? Just to be fair, you know.

To be "fair"?? Oh, you mean one sided "fair" as in fair to the Republicans just as one would be fair to someone that is disabled? Oh, wait, I'm talking about the same group. .

What is really pathetic is any health bill doesn't have real political boundaries when it comes time for one to use it's benefits.

But the biggest component of the cut — repeal of a 3.8% surcharge on capital gains and dividends for those taxpayers — would be retroactive to the beginning of this year. That turns it into more of a free handout for wealthy people who already had sold securities or collected dividends since Jan. 1.
That comes from the same capitalists that hate "welfare" (as they call it), but have NO problem when it comes to welfare for the rich.

Replace "Americans" with "Democrats astroturfing town hall meetings held by Republican congressmen" and your post would be accurate.

If I were one of those elected Republican congressmen, I'd just tell the Democrats they lost the election and to get over their precious little snowflake selves.

Then I'd have them removed by security if they continued to disrupt my town hall.

No one expects a Republican to do what Democrats want, or vice versa -- except dumb Democrat snowflakes.

Republicans are not afraid of their constituents as alleged by the OP. They, unlike Democrats, keep winning elections.

Suburban Atlanta & Suburban Charlotte prove it just this week.
Hey Waldo, when do you think California will turn red? Any estimates?

LOL - you are funny.

Of course if the Democrats had won a Republican stronghold there would be celebration.

Republicans celebrating these close calls (in communities which have not been historically close calls) is ok with me.

They are breathing a HUGE sigh of relief. But I wouldn't throw it up as some BIG accomplishment.

That's like the first place team barely eking out a win against the last place team. Come on now -- sure the first place team cheers but they do so kind of on the down low -- lol.

It's true -- four months after Trump became President, these Republican strongholds are still standing. It's a good thing for the Republicans...it's not an amazingly great thing they almost lost them.

Republicans will be throwing money into those swing states in two years...you watch. And the line will be -- of course it is smart to spend money on the election.......

What daylux is doing is a technique perfected in totalitarian regimes to stop dissent and freedom to disagree.

It is unhealthy and anti-American.

You mean the plants by the Democratic party to create publicity propaganda? And the GOP isn't participating on the fraud the left is trying to perpetuate? The left who don't vote for GOP are trying to disrupt a GOP's meeting with REAL constituents... Ahh... too bad crybabies... we are not going to do what YOU like....
