"That is how, folks, you talk to a do-nothing Tea Party Congressman."
So... I'm working the Stephenson County Democrats booth at the County Fair, right?
We're getting ready to call it a day when Republican Rep. Bobby Schilling walks up with an entourage of fascist Tea Baggers looking for a photo op shaking the hand of a local democrat.
I take the Congressman's hand and tell him, "We've met before, Congressman."
"You do look familiar," he tells me.
"Yeah," I tell him. "I debated Paul Ryan's bullshit budget you supported with the Tea Party's John Arn at the Rockford Public Library."
"I remember!" says the Congressman. "We're just doing what's best for America!"
"Getting rid of two tax brackets," I tell him - my voice getting a little louder, "and consolidating the rest so that middle class Americans get a tax hike isn't in my interests as an American, Congressman."
"We're going to have to agree to disagree," the guy says. "Don't you think that we're both trying to do what's best for the country?"
"Well, no, Congressman," I say to him. "I think some people have their own interests at heart, instead of the country's."
It's at this point that my voice is DEFINITELY above what could be considered a calm or level tone.
"Right down the street, here (in Freeport, Illinois), you have the Sensata company getting ready to lay off all of it's workers and ship operations overseas. Your response was to write a letter and "beg" the CEO of Sensata to reconsider the move. You are a Congressman, sir! Do you represent all those Freeport residents who are going to be soon out of a job, or do you represent the company?"
Instead of even trying to formulate any sort of reasonable response the man tries to say something about the President - but I interrupt the Congressman at that point and remind him that we're not talking about the fellow living in the White House, but just what it is he is going to do as our local Representative about a local factory closing shop shipping everything over to Communist China.
The guy knows he's not going to get any good press out of this exchange, being just a tad-bit brighter than all of his Tea Party supporters, smiles, and beats a hasty retreat without saying another word.
As he walks away I give it one more shot: "Do your job Congressman: Represent your constituients."
All the folks at the other County Fair booths around us just stand and look at me, like, 'What just happened? What did we just see?'
"That is how, folks, " I say as I return to breaking down the booth, "you talk to a do-nothing Tea Party Congressman."
Bounce, bounce, bounce . . .

One bong.
Classic bouncy without any substance.

No bushes and no cops at the county fair, huh.

That was painful to read. "Somewhere, a dog barked" painful. 1AngryDUmmie needs to work on his dialog writing, and practice saying the dialog out loud. "You are a Congressman, sir!" made me almost snort coffee out of my nose; I imagined an accompanying self-righteous pointed finger.
What am I saying? He's writing for his audience. The miserable wretches lap up that "speaking truth to power, in complex sentences, without taking a breath" crap. It feeds their collective delusion that they are intellectual elites.
-
It is easy to do this to elected officials. Most of them will stand and smile. You have to be Barney Frank to be able to yell back at them, call them stupid and get a pass.
This dummie is just like everyone that gets on a rant like this. It is not my response that get the attention of all the people, it is the ignorant crap spewing from their pie hole that does it.

In DUmmieland, the Congressman would have DEMANDED that Sensata stay, "or else".
He can represent both. Make sure the company gets a tax break (thus, more revenue and incentive to stay) and the company can use that towards the employees, by making sure they keep more of their money.
-
It lacked the required standing ovation of an archetype bouncy tale, so if it even more-or-less happened, it sounds like the stupid DUmmie did a great job of convincing everyone in earshot that he was a graceless idiot, and by extension that Democrats generally are not fit to govern others. Thanks, DUmmie!
-
Yeah, the congressman should have done what our big-gov totalitarian Capps did. She did nothing. In fact she told the company to kindly go **** themselves. She told them we didn't need them and that another company would take their place. That was almost eleven years ago and their buildings still lie empty.
I give 2 bongs. 1 bong for starting out with a So and 1 bong for the crowd factor.
-
Yeah, where was the people around him being fixed on what he was saying? Where was the huge round of applause as he walked away? Where was the long line of converters who registered democrat that day because of him?

Perfect: Puffed up little twerp. I'm betting that Tea Party Congressman is still going to be your Congressman in Jan. sparky.

Which pretty well describes all DUmbasses.

I've alerted Congressman Schilling to the thread at the DUmp, and asked him if he would like to comment on what happened that might be different than what the oneangryprimitive is spinning in their rendition.
I'll post up any response that I get here in this thread.

We won't be able to believe anything he says. He's a Teapublican you know.

Umm, even if this was true, what was the expected response of the Congressman to the company moving? Have the police keep the company in town at gunpoint?
And that would be the response of him to a statement like this: "There is nothing I can do if a company wants to leave."

29. He could vote for a law that would expropriate the assets..........
of companies that move jobs overseas and give it to the workers to run in direct competition to the "job creator in China". Without the need to give huge salaries to CEOs the companies would probably make enough to give the people a lower price too.
After all, why let a little thing like the Constitution stand in the way of the socialist agenda.

Can you imagine 50 to 3,000 liberal/socialist so called "workers" trying to run a company and it stay in business.

Well it seems to me, that and 200+ billion federal dollars are doing just fine at GM. (Hopefully through Nov.)

Fleet sales to the US gov and cronies like GE should keep them fat and happy until the 0 is removed.

The only thing was missing was "and then he changed the channel to MSNBC".

This is about as dumb as their obsession with Dick Cheney and their attempt to hang Haliburton around his neck as a "war profiteer". Never mind that Sensata was purchased from Texas Instruments in 2006, long after Mitt Romney left the company.
IT'S ALL HIS FAULT. :bawl::panic:

Exactly. The DUllards have to tell these tales, from time to time, to make up for the disappointment they feel in their lack of sexual proficiency and/or opportunity. The protagonist retard is all knowing and his foil knows absolutely nothing and, in fact, seeks to escape the confrontation, at the first opportunity. This has dominance/insecurity and inadequacy compensation written all over it. Notice how the DUllard always makes a reference to his or her voice rising like a Wagner opus and the, quote/unquote, crowd turning to check out "our hero".
Jeeez........Pure dominance seeking fantasy written from Sit-Com overexposure. I guess all that basement time wasn't wasted after all.
Didn't these :censored: holes learn anything in those basket-weaving majors they supposedly took eight years to obtain?

I blame it on the Super Hero comic books these losers read. They sit in their parents' basements/spare bedrooms draming about being heroic. Or just normal. Gives them a delusion of mediocrity.

Yes. DUllards believe that Congress' express purpose is to make sure any and all businesses stay where they are and employ double the number of employees the bottom line can handle at twice the minimum wage. They shall use all fascist tactics necessary and then ride away, triumphant, on white sparkly Unicorns throwing Skittles to the cheering throngs of mouth-breathing serfs.
Their actual Constitutionally-limited functions?
Not so much.

Or Pete Stark. He is another one who had no problem telling his constituents how stupid they are.

what the DUmmie isn't telling us, is that Schilling probably talked to the company and he couldn't argue with their reason for leaving. Illinois raised taxes by 66% and now they are talking about bumping state minimum wage requirements well over and above the feds.
Let's not forget what sort of effect that ObamaCare might have on them.

You know, in all the articles I looked at trying to find a reason for the company outsourcing the work, that issue was never raised. The liberal progressive blogs using this as an example to discredit Romney never mention it.
I wish I had a dollar every time capitalism was blamed for a problem caused by government. I'd be a fat filmmaker in a baseball cap.

GM has been relying on fleet sales for years, if not decades. That's why you rarely see Hondas and Toyotas parked outside the local Hertz/Enterprise office.

The only time they're parked out there, the owners are renting cars at Hertz or Enterprise.

Socialist-in-TN is seriously suggesting that a tea party republican congressman, vote for (and presumably introduce and sponsor) a bill ushering in full-blown Communism?
:mental:
What the hell is wrong with these people?

They weren't admiring what you did asshole. They were wondering why you were so rude if this story really did happen.

That's true but now Ford is no longer considered for federal government fleet sales or to companies that get fat juicy no bid or green energy contracts. The fleet sales to those two account for over 50% of Volt sales and almost 25% of overall sales in Chevrolet last year.
