Once again, when faced with voters who disagree with them, Dems have decided to attack rather than listen.

At the end of a town hall meeting in Douglassville Georgia, Representative David Scott (D) opened the floor to questions.  It seems he should have opened it to “questions I want to answer,” because a doctor got up and dared to inquire about health care. 

David Scott did not want to talk about health care.

Instead, he became incensed that someone would have the audacity to “take advantage” of the fact that he’d opened the forum for questioning, and berated the audience. 

Despite the Representative’s tirade, the Doctor who asked Scott why he would vote for a government plan that has already “failed in Massachusetts” is one of the Representative’s constituents.  According to the Atlanta newscast below, he has called several times asking for the meetings on health care which Scott claims he is willing to attend.  So far, however, he’s been unsuccessful in setting one up.

Scott is going to hold a health care specific meeting, one sponsored by his left wing pals from the AARP, but no one knows precisely when.  Hopefully, when he opens the floor to questions, the room  full of belligerent union members will allow the opposition to speak without roughing them up too badly.

We have two pieces of video on this. The first is a news story from Channel 11 in Atlanta.  The second is the uncut video feed of the event.

We’re starting to sound like a broken record, but we still have to say it: Who the hell do these Congressmen think they are? Representative Scott, when your constituents ask a question, you are to answer it, concisely and to the point.  If you can’t be bothered to do that, you don’t deserve your position.

Georgians?  Scott is up for re-election next year.  With his condescending, hubristic hissy fit, he’s shown he’s incapable of carrying out his office in an adult fashion.  Hopefully, you’ll take this child out of office.
