Can't see in the vid where it started handshake wise but I wonder about the "continued handshake with the pump". Why shake the "enemies" hand like that unless you are being passive aggressive?

Good to see the Congress critter explain the entire bill. It changes so much and people don't know that. And as a previous poster noted, he's for homeland security so automatically I wouldn't support him.

That is exactly what it was. You read that spot on.

It's been known to happen...I like it when people agree on something....anything, these days. But Casper read it very accurately. Anyone who can't see that is either living in a bubble or they themselves are the passive aggressive type.

God being a politician would suck. This poor guy has to deal with idiots like this every day. Just think about how old that would get. I'm anti-amnesty myself, but these tools would make the pope curse. They're just as bad as loud mouth liberals that protest just to protest..................barf

also, that guy that stepped over the line with him needs his *** kicked. Like another poster said, a teddy Roosevelt type character would have knocked the pizz out of him for that type of disrespect.

That anti amnesty dude does need his ass handed to him.

I could clearly see that the POS protester wouldn't let go of his hand and then aggressively slaps his shoulder.

That being stated if the congressman is pro amnesty I'd vote against him as well.

Put your hands on another man like that and you risk getting decked.

It was a set up though and the congressman fell right into it. Dumbass.

Hey you put your azz out there for the press to take pictures of you and it should not come as a surprise getting sandbagged by idiots with agendas from time to time.

The camera can be either your friend or your worst nightmare; something every public figure should have learned during Face-time 101.

When out amongst the commoners , it's always a possibility you're going to get groped. Handle it with grace, restraint and dignity or play the John Wayne card and take the flack, your choice and voter's option later.

Still not watching the video huh?

Again, all these posters throwing around words like "liberals" or "conservatives" etc. with obvious bias.

I don't care if the guy is a communist party candidate for New Hampshire, the guy that came up got physical with him and he had every right to be upset by it.

Nice to see a poster that has thier political convictions but can look at a video and not let their brain reinterpret reality.

I don't know if Steve is blowing smoke up their butts but he's smooth, handled it well, and held his ground. I expect he'll do well in politics and on the national stage.
