Republican Hounded Down the Street by Unhappy Voters [View All]

[Rose Siding]

Ex-7 term congressman and current lobbyist Toby Roth opposes the war as only a wingnut can; he thinks God might punish us by making Hillary president. He's also très fanatique about making English the national language.

So of course this would have been a sight to behold:

Roth is president of The Roth Group, a Washington lobbying firm...Now 67 years old, he has traveled around the country with Republican congressional candidates....

He says it has been an education.

"There's no apathy out there," he said. "There is deep-seated hatred."

In a small town in Minnesota, Roth went door-to-door campaigning for a candidate and was surprised when three different people followed him down the street to tell him how unhappy they were with all incumbents.

In Kentucky, one voter told Roth that he had a lot of nerve campaigning for congressmen when Congress hadn't done a thing about the immigration issue.

"There's a real feeling of discontent, and it's deeper than one issue," said Roth.

Yes, as Republicans criss-cross the country this campaign season peddling their exclusive brand of unending war, bigotry and failure, there's a little bit of venting going on. Imagine!
