We have all seen plenty of video coverage of the health care Town Hall meetings occurring around the country. We have seen many good questions asked of members of congress, but this particular lady might take the prize for best confrontation of a congressman. I wish the video ran a little longer to see Rep. Dicks continue to squirm his way out of this mess.
Here is the “money shot”:
I haven’t seen any sources naming the questioner, but I can say it is good to have her on our side.

Oh, I think he got it on every possible level,
The_Gadfly (Diary) Monday, September 7th at 12:31AM EST (link)but when you intend to vote against the people you represent, after a smackdown like that, feigning missing the point on every possible level is the only option you have.
Very true...
discerningconservative (Diary) Monday, September 7th at 12:45AM EST (link)He definitely knew he had met his match, and knew exactly what she was saying. This confrontation was truly made of awesomeness. She knew that asking a question would give Dicks the opportunity to evade the question and spout talking points, so she laid it all out in a statement that left him with no other possible response. He knows he is going to vote in a way that does NOT reflect the majority of his constituent’s interest.
