When faced with a vigorous band of constituents who wished to loudly express their discomfort and annoyance with both Russ Carnahan’s specific and general voting records, the Congressman did the proper thing: he engaged with them. He listened. He explained why sometimes – to evoke Burke – you have to exercise your own judgement in representing your district, and not knee-jerk defer to constituent opinion. In short, he was a Representative.
Yes, I’m joking. What he actually did was lock the doors on them before the speech, and ran out the back like a scared little bunny rabbit. Or a Democratic legacy politician who doesn’t understand why the grubby little proles are so exercised over things, all of a sudden.
Dana Loesch (also via Gateway Pundit) has more, including a video of the proceedings; note that the local news people are a lot more grounded in objective reality than most of their national counterparts. Do watch the videos and the pictures associated with this one; it’s good to see that we’re internalizing the attitude that you record everything from now on. Here’s one picture that I want to point out, for two reasons:
- Those people are part of what the DNC wants to call a “mob.“ Retirees in polo shirts.
- That sign on the bottom right corner? Saw it later in a video. Says “Elections have consequences.”
Which they do. I bet that Ed Martin would agree, too.

Save the car dealers
banzaibob (Diary) Wednesday, August 5th at 8:30AM EST (link)Just wonder how many Congressmen and women;
Own all or part of a car dealership
Have friends or relatives that own car dealerships
This may explain they’re true intent.

Minstrel: [singing] Brave Sir Robin ran away, bravely ran away away. When danger reared his ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, he turned his tail, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by Sir Robin.

Elections do have consequences.
mikefisk (Diary) Wednesday, August 5th at 11:39AM EST (link)The new wave of Congressional Democrats have figured out half of that equation; to wit, they understand the consequences the governing have on the governed.
Only problem is now they’re finding out what happens when you gaze into the abyss… not only does it gaze back, but it’s not going to look all that pleasant doing so.
After all, how dare they be held accountable? Accountability is for those little bitter people…

Elections have consequences....
Jeff Weimer (Diary) Wednesday, August 5th at 6:57PM EST (link)While true, that sign sure does make it seem the electoral success the democrats have enjoyed the last two elections has gone quite to their heads.
It placement there, beside the locked door brings from my subconscious a quote that seems oddly appropriate:
“You f—ed up. You trusted us”
-Eric Stratton, Rush President
Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.

“You lost, now shut up!”
Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.
