Does my VOTE not count, just because certain people SHOUT louder than me at townhalls?

These people misrepresent everything.

No one is trying to keep them from talking, we just want them to be civil, and wait their turn to talk.

But ultimately, I don't think people should always have to give up what they VOTED for if a few people decide to yell about it at townhalls. That will kill democracy entirely. The people who scream the loudest will then decide what we do in this country. How civilized would that be?

You know, ultimately, maybe it is a stupid idea to have townhalls, because if the mjaority of America elected these people to do things a certain way, then it shouldnt matter what people at townhalls say. But then again, people at townhalls could be suggesting chnages to the bill itself, and simply voicing concerns, instead of saying "LISTEN TO ME! DO WHAT I WANT! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY LIFE!"

That is fucking MOB RULE.

1. That's exactly the objective...

When democracy gets in the way of the powerful, the powerful do what they do best: thuggery. They brainwash and or buy off a bunch of thugs and simple minded folks to go around beating up or terrorizing the citizenry. It's been going on for thousands of years and it works like a charm. Don't you think it's about time we put an end to it? The really cool thing is exposing it, like what Rachael Maddow has been doing. Great reporting that just blows the lid off their secret dirty little tricks. Her show is such a thing of beauty, that I dare say, lady liberty is falling in love with her. Keep it up, Ms. Maddow, I love the way you dance!

3. The screamers DO believe they are more important...
In their minds, because they are the aggrieved white people, those who voted for that "Negro" don't count.

They don't want to accept that elections you LOSE also have consequences...
