‘Baron’ is merely your *name*, Rep. Hill (D, IN-09).


It is not your job description.

Check out (via the Campaign Spot) this amazingly fatheaded – and more amusingly, techno-illiterate – posturing by Democratic Congressman Baron Hill:

See also Hoosierpundit, who’s also covering this district pretty thoroughly, it looks like.

Let me address Hill’s points:

  • This is not your town hall meeting. It is your constituents’, which you are providing them for their benefit.
  • You work for them.
  • You do not set the rules. Your constituents do.
  • You work for them.
  • The fact that you had to repeat that indicates that your constituents have a firmer grasp of this fact than you do.
  • You work for them.
  • Again, this is their town hall meeting; you are there to be accountable.
  • You work for them.
  • They are going to tell you how to run your Congressional office.
  • You work for them.
  • Nobody gives a tinker’s dam about why you don’t want to allow people filming you doing your job.
  • You work for them.
  • And, hey (and to evoke Jim Geraghty)! You ended up in a compromising position on YouTube anyway. Go figure.

PS: You don’t actually have to work for them.  Both Todd Young and Travis Hankins (at the very least) would be happy to relieve you of the burden.

He makes those comments with a camera running right in the back of the meeting. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Thanks for the laugh Moe.

Hill is in a world of trouble. Travis Hankins is the top real conservative challenger this entire cycle and Hankins will beat Baron Hill.

Rep. Hill is in a world of hurt

He is the most vulnerable Democrat in Indiana. I do not know about you, but if I was a Democrat two term incumbent in a district that McCain-Palin carried by 2%, I would not be antagonizing voters who voted for McCain. Sounds like a recipe for political suicide to me.

This guy has to go now.
He is a perfect example of the problem we are now facing.
If he were in Alaska, he would not make it across the street.

But not in the way Congressman Hill thinks it will. He really isn’t very smart. I bet that clip went viral on the Internet in a nanosecond. Would have liked to have been a fly on the wall after that meeting!

The arrogance of power. If it distresses him so, relieve him of the duty.

archer52 Thursday, September 3rd at 7:50PM EST (link)

This seems simple to me. He appears to be overwhelmed by the duty and responsibility of running his office the way he wants regardless of the wants of his people. That can be tiresome, working so hard against the will of the people for personal profit and power.

He looks tired.

You should do him a favor, and vote him out. You’ll be doing a good thing and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

The Democrats in Indiana are acting like “German Nazis”. They think that they are the elites and the enlightened ones that require servitude from the peasant-looking Hoosiers.

They hate Gov. Daniel’s “outsourcing” strategy so much. They think that Daniels is giving up precious possessions and properties of the State so much to the VASSALS (i.e., Corporate entities.) and “uncivilized” Indians (i.e., small and medium enterprises).

Where are the Good, Freedom Loving, God-fearing Hoosiers, Germans, Irish, Polish in Indiana nowadays? Yeah, those people who will die first before they succumb to authoritarian and statist rule of the Government.

Common, Hoosiers!!!!!!! Let’s take back our State again! Remove the Socialists and Democrats from the State!

Well he went to the White House and played dead. He said he wouldn’t have a Town Hall and scheduled one but tried to keep it a secret. This is the representation you get when you don’t pay attention to politics. The IN 9th deserves much better.

there was a man set for a great fall this arrogant fool takes the bisuit!

Proof that the Dems full of hubris have lost touch with constituents, completely.

The left wing intent is to destroy the existing society and replace it with a society of its own design.

 

Why are the mosy vulnerable Democrats doing this?

gemimail Thursday, September 3rd at 9:35PM EST (link)

These are the most vulnerable Democrats in the U.S. House and a lot of them are dumping on their own constituents. What are they thinking?
Alabama 2,5
Arizona 1,5,8
Arkansas 1,2,4
Colorado 4
Connecticut 4
Florida 4,8,22
Georgia 8

Minnesota’s First District is also in play. Tim Walz, a sophmoric Democrat, is annoying his conservative constituency left and right. He is also one of those arrogant, snotty, elitists who believe we are simply too stupid to exist.

Count another out.

 
 

What did she say?

The audio in this video is horrible. I turned up the computer volume all the way and I couldn’t hear what she asked. I did hear his arrogant response though. Wow.

She was asking why she couldn't film...

discerningconservative (Diary) Thursday, September 3rd at 11:02PM EST (link)

She said she was a journalist student and was going to film for a school project and she was pulled aside and told she couldn’t film.

This was a reply to scottbomb above...
