Common Sense

“I wasn’t a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn’t spring full bloom from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation-from our experience, our wisdom, and our belief in the principles that have guided us for two centuries. They called it the Reagan revolution. Well, I’ll accept that, but for me it always seemed more like the great rediscovery, a rediscover of our values and our common sense.“
- President Ronald Reagan

No Wonder People Hate Congress!

The reason that videos end up on YouTube is because of idiotic statements - eg. by Baron Hill like this is "HIS" townhall meeting.  Really?  So this town hall is not for the people who ELECTED Mr. Hill to his position?  Yeah, it's because of things like this that are making Americans really really mad at their Congressmen, because really, had Baron Hill just allowed this student to film the town hall meeting, report it as it went along, all would be fine I'm sure.  As far as I've seen, his rejection of a legitimate request to film is the reason he's going to be on YouTube making an ass out of himself.  The only thing Congressmen have to do is to listen to the constituents, not degrade or demean them, and represent them with their votes on bills in Congress.  Now when politicians decide to do the exact opposite - that is when you have a problem with the people.  Remember, the people put you there, and the people can and will remove you from office. 



Baron Hill (IN-09): This Is My Town Hall Meeting. I Set the Rules.
