Former RINO Arlen Specter says protests not representative
Specter: Protests not ‘representative of America’
WASHINGTON – Sen. Arlen Specter said Wednesday he thinks people who have been angrily disrupting town hall meetings on overhauling the health care system are “not necessarily representative of America,” but should be heard.
Really Lord Specter? How grateful we are that you deign to hear the people WHO ARE CONSTITUTIONALLY SPEAKING YOUR DAMN BOSS.
And in the understatement of the year on their own idiocy, Missouri Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill said:
“I don’t understand this rudeness. I honestly don’t get it.”
Yeah, you really don’t.
“I’m not going to complain about being organized. They have a right to speak,” he said, “but I think we have to explain, they’re not necessarily representative of America. I think they’re vocal. I don’t think they’re representative.”
Specter said he didn’t think people opposed to various health care proposals have a right to disrupt public meetings on the issue.
They’re not public meetings when they are scheduled at the last minute, the schedules are not promulgated openly, only supporters of the prez get advance notice, and oh, did I mention, the administration is frigging busing people in, and paying them to demonstrate in favor.
Those are not public meetings, they are shows put on at taxpayer expense in an attempt to hijack the claim of representation from the people and seize the right to speak for the people AGAINST THEIR WILL.
We have every right to show up and speak our minds and when you won’t let us, and try to stack the deck against it, every right to raise our voices. We’re not disrupting public meetings. We’re turning your dog and pony show into public meetings.
Specter continues to show exactly why he was never ever a Republican. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
