Town Hall Meeting in Sumter

[cologal]

Went to the Town Hall meeting in Sumter County this morning. More Democrats than Republicans in attendance with a lot more sings. Pussy hats were worn...I don't own one of those. One really angry woman screamed at me that I was paid to attend.....nope I said I live in Calument Grove. She went on but....

The Congressmen did come out and started out with a very long prayer. After which he just talked about things his office can do. He took no questions. But he did shake hands with both sides including me.

Then it was off to the Callaway demo!!!

Did you take any photos? I am guessing the wackadoodles were in attendance as they don't have jobs nor contribute to taxes, just mooch off others and bitch they deserve more. Pussy hats...what women's rights has anyone threatened to take away?

Why aren't those gals with the pussy hats protesting all the companies that use scantily dressed beautiful woman in their ads? What does a gal with big boobs have to do with finding information about yourself on the internet, solar panels, or leasing a car?

And how many of you pussy hat wearers like Viagra commercials? Lol

They were Villagers had out their Villages ID's, while they might not work now did once did and now live on their 401K's like me. Did you not know it was held in The Villages?

Many came in carts... I came in my Jaguar XF.

The Pussy hats, I was NOT wearing one, have more to do with Trump saying "Grab them by the Pussy" but maybe you missed that one.

As for the women's rights did you miss the one about women only being hosts:

That's easy:

Viagra makes something that's supposed to work, but doesn't, work.

Birth control on, the other hand, makes something that works fine, not work.

You gave me nothing....I was a women in the Medical IT field dominated by men. That didn't stop me! I was quite often better at the job than they were. For months they were trouble shooting an interface in Philly without any success, the customer was p***ed off so even thought I knew nothing about this product the bosses asked me to take a look at it. I asked the guy to send me a snipet of the problem.... one look at it and I said "line bid contention". They didn't believe me....but that is what it was.

We couldn't fix it so I asked the LIS to do it and they agreed because they knew me...then I had to tell the customer. One of the "GUYS" told me the customer was going to "RIP MY FACE OFF" I said will shall see.

I explained, the customer understood and then I said to the guy who was AFRAID...Thats why they call me the snake charmer.

I fought for and earned everything I have!!!

Did you not know there are plenty of Wackadoodles that live in the Villages? Most of them did not work long enough to have any investment (401K), most of them sponge off society and the guilt of their parents (the parents feel they must have done something wrong, raising the kid, for him or her to turn out to be a Wackadoodle) One of them is a regular on this forum, 50 something (doubt he is 59 1/2 and drawing out of his 401K), he readily admits he has not worked a supportive job in 17 years.

No, I heard about Trump's comment over a decade ago, just not understanding how that correlates to Pussy hats...do they want men to grab them by their hats??

Pregnancy and birth are difficult subjects to navigate, a lot of emotional charged hysteria on all sides. The opinion piece you linked, do you feel the father of the child has any rights with regard to decision of an abortion for a child he helped create? I believe he has a responsibility to help raise the child if it is born, and that seems moral and the act of a good man. Would it be moral and the act of a good woman for her to allow him a say in the abortion?

Planned parenthood abortions should not be funded by the US taxpayers! I am pro choice, but one thing that seems evident is this program is wrong on many levels. If you had to choose one, do you want healthcare provided to the poor (including preventive measures such as pap smears and mammograms) OR do you want abortions provided to the poor?

As for free birth control, the stuff costs $7 a month, if she had a choice between purchasing birth control or cigarettes which one do you think she is going to buy? Maybe they should put birth control in cigarettes they could call them "keep her slims"...why do the liberals want to prevent the poor from having children, is this genocide?

I see you are sure proud of that car...LOL

I am very proud of that car I saved for 12 years for a retirement car but I never dreamed it would be Jag!

I agree these are sticky issues.

I am Pro-Choice but I have never had to make that choice not has any of my immediate family.

Lets start with the definition of genocide which is:

The deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.

So no I don't think the use of birth control pills or the morning after pill genocide. Which is why I can't understand the Right Wing's opposition to Planned Parenthood. While PP does do abortions NO FEDERAL MONEY CAN BE USED FOR THIS PROCEDURE. Isn't better to prevent pregnancy? BTW the average smoking rate for adult women in the USA is 14.2%. So I don't think buying cigs instead of Birth Control is a major issue. Smoking rates have been going down for years and I am one those in the statistical drop.

If a woman's life is threatened I have no problem with the abortion. I really haven't thought much about paying abortions so I can't speak to that now. But I am supportive of providing preventative healthcare to the poor.

Allowing a man to over-rule a woman's decision to abort makes me cringe. But if the man would sign an agreement to take the child after the birth and raise the child. I would be good with that. But if the pregnancy was cause by rape or incest then "H**l NO!

I have answered this welfare question more that once hopefully this will be the last:

I believe that welfare should be a helping hand up but not vocation. The disability program is a joke now with whole families of healthy people on the rolls.

There are rules about what you can use the EBT card for and cigarettes are not on that list. However, some people cheat...not sure how to control that!

How would you root out the cheats?

If only 23% are smoking cigarettes that means 74% are not. So we should punish all of them for the minority bad apples.

Not splitting hairs, but it was 26% and I am saying some additional are not being counted (possibly they feel smokers are ostracized). 90% of all the temporary labor I have hired (hundreds of people across the country at numerous construction sites) smoke cigarettes. In fact 50% of them ask for an hours pay just prior to lunch, and they come back with a pack of cigarettes. They all have Obamma phones (plural) and they would all rather be back to the labor office prior to closing to get that days money. Very few of them can work 3 days in a row, they all have problems, and it is seldom their own fault.

With regard to your statement of punishing the majority of people below the poverty level, because of the minority that is below the poverty level can be wasteful or scamming...could we agree that has been the case with regard to those above the poverty level having to support those below the poverty level all these years?

Welfare is a trap that acquires more people every year, we are not helping them we are holding them back. Work or starve...that was my options.

Again you did not answer the question posed to you, what do you call a person who cannot afford to feed or clothe themselves and receives welfare, but can afford to smoke?

There is no such thing, in spite of what anyone says...of 'Obama phones.'

That program was started under Reagan. :oops:

FCC chief: Reagan could be proud of 'Obamaphone' program | TheHill (http://thehill.com/policy/technology/322041-fcc-chief-reagan-could-be-proud-of-obamaphone-program)

"Here’s the truth. The Lifeline program long predates the current administration," Clyburn said in the speech at the New America Foundation. "It was actually created during the Reagan administration, so let's give credit where credit is due. The Lifeline program is a legacy President Reagan could be proud of."

Congress first enacted the Lifeline program in 1985, and the FCC expanded the program to cover cellphone service in 2005 during the George W. Bush administration.

And billion dollar corporations who underpay their workers...are the prime beneficiaries. :oops:

75% of Working Poor on Welfare - The Daily Beast (http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2015/04/12/most-low-wage-families-on-public-aid.html)


75% of Working Poor on Welfare

The study found that state and federal governments spend more than $150 billion a year on four antipoverty programs used by working families, including Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, food stamps, and the earned-income tax credit, which is directed at working families.

Researchers conclude that taxpayers are not only providing support to the poor, but essentially a subsidy for employers of low-wage workers like McDonald’s and Wal-Mart.

So tell everyone why you think it is OK to subsidize these corporations who don't need it...while you rail against the working poor? :popcorn:

They are nicknamed Obamma phones...I did not invent the term and would assume Obamma gave out more than Reagan. Maybe you got a link to denounce that...

Well I must be one of the bad guys causing the working poor...I often hire temporary labor (railing those poor people). I guess I could only use my guys - so I am not contributing to the working poor statistics. All though my guy's wives might have a problem with them being out of town longer. Fvck them all, I will do all the work myself and give all the money I make to some lazy people that would rather watch reality TV than work to feed themselves!

If I was working for a billion dollar company that was under paying me; I would get a different job. If there are no other jobs, than I guess the billion dollar company is not under paying me...

There you go again with another racist comment. Now you are inferring that only people of color are the working poor...

How do you know that believers are "delusional?" Do you have proof that there is NO divinity? No reason for you to disparage the majority, just because you in the minority do not believe. Maybe believers think you are deficient in your thinking. Maybe believers think you are going to hell and therefore a loser. Just commenting, not saying whether I think that way or not. Does it make you feel superior if you can tell believers that they are wrong, when the fact is that you can't prove they are wrong? Or, maybe you do it to hurt those folks that believe. Maybe it makes you feel good to strike out at others in your misery.

Nasty post...why are you so angry? The poster has no proof that there is no divinity but on the other hand you cannot prove that there is!

I only comment because the United States has a constitutional separation of church and state. Therefore the Congressman should not have opened with a prayer.

And he should have listened the people gathered there...... but he didn't.

They are addicted to an item that your state (all states) filed a class action lawsuit in your behalf, and the states kicked the tobacco companies a$$ (remember your state income tax credit of a few bucks?)!!

Now the rules of double jeopardy come to play, you can't sue them for the heath issues caused by smoking (even the ones they knew about). So now they can put any chemical (other than controlled substances) in the cigarettes. It is harder to quit smoking cigarettes today, than it is to quit heroin...

That my friend is your government at its finest!!!

Sorry for the side track, your right they are idiots. I would also agree with Don and classify them as leeches...and a mistake created by you liberals that want to help with other peoples money (because YOUR money is earmarked for the Jag), but you have really only enabled them and served your codependency.

"Work or starve" is the only answer to end this increasing blunder....

Threads always resort to racial, religious or political, foul mouthing, name calling attempting to one up counterpoint the last bash.

Almost impossible to find a thread that does not detriorate as described above.

Women...they resort to those "tactics" because they have nothing to back up their "feelings" about something. They get backed into an intellectual corner and out comes the BS. They attack the messenger...not the cause.
