VIDEO: Rep. Broun (R-GA) walks away from constituent after question on healthcare

By GottaLaff



See how Rushpublic care about their constituents? Apparently, town hall meetings are for the sheeple, not the people:

For those not familiar with Rep. Broun, he has been a sore spot for Athens-area liberals since he took office in 2007. Many remember his proposal to make 2010 the “Year of the Bible,” his comparison last year of Obama to Hitler, and his insistance that global warming is a hoax.

My kinda guy.

But what could be the most talked about event at the town hall meeting is something that happened after Broun spoke, as he was talking with constituents who gathered around after the meeting. Ryan Lewis of Athens asked the Congressman, who is a doctor, directly what he was planning to do to make medical care affordable, telling him of his medical problems and how even with health insurance his provider won’t cover most of it. Broun’s response? He tells Lewis, “if you have a suggestion, send it to me” and walks away.

If that isn't being a caring, fair-minded representative, I don't know what is.
