11. Multiply this across local, State, and Federal Government talking to Republicans is a waste of time

When they encounter any dissension they either clear the room and eventually will quit having live face to face town halls. This is what democratic and national decline looks like. If they do address dissension it is done with a robo call or a call in town hall where they can control the meeting and conversation. Try one out for size if offered; they are a lesson in ridicule for anything that does not fit their party view. Politics is one thing but with the Republican Robots I for one have no common ground. Probably the only decent thing Mitt Romney has ever done is admit to a select audience that they have written off 47% of the electorate. What gets confused is to mistake the 47% with lower income which is what he partially implied. Those whom they have truly written off is anyone informed enough not to buy the lines of distortions, out right lies, and destruction of America for personal and corporate profit.

The Representative you described could be a clone of my Representative.
