Hoyer Unmasks to Reveal True Horror



Quote:
Hoyer Unmasks to Reveal True Horror


Now that Washington is a one-party town, Hoyer has taken off his mask and revealed himself in all his arrogant liberal glory. Consider the evidence:

-- Hoyer teams up with Nancy Pelosi to declare the disruptive dissent of citizens at the town hall meetings "un-American." The fact that a significant number of his constituents are actively and vocally opposed to government intervention in health care didn't stop him from insulting them and their commitment to their country and its principles.

-- Hoyer laughs out loud when it is suggested that he and his colleagues should pledge to read the bills they propose making into law. 'I'm laughing because I don't know how long this bill is going to be, but it's going to be a very long bill,' he said. He went on to say the staffers read them and pass on the relevant information to the members. Only one problem with that - we didn't elect the staffers, Mr. Hoyer. You're the chosen representative of the people, not them.

Quote:
-- Hoyer's health care town hall meeting was clearly designed to control dissent and minimize the opportunities opponents had to speak their minds. He wasn't there to listen as much as he was to tell us we were wrong and he was going to do whatever he pleased.

-- Hoyer opines that the "general welfare" clause of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to require individuals to purchase health insurance, or do just about anything they deem to be in the common interest. For a man with a law degree, his interpretation of the Constitution is frightening - and dead wrong. Our Founding Fathers took great care to limit the power of the federal government and maximize individual rights, and the notion that the Congress can force citizens to buy goods or services would have been abhorrent to them.

That's what I thought of his town hall meeting here in Charles Co.

Not only that, at Hoyer's last town hall meeting he made the SEIU trucks park 3 miles away so people could not see who some of his corrupt friends were to stack his deck?

For 29 years Hoyer has lived like a King, It's time the King was put out to pasture.

His easy wins over the years has built his arrogance to a point that he feels an entitlement to his Post. He feels he is smarter than his constituents and should do as he pleases,not what his constituency wants. IMO he can do as he pleases when he gets his job as lobbyist after we remove him from office in 2010.
