Pa. Democrat holds to town hall [sic] on health care law

POTTSVILLE, Pa. — A freshman Democrat representing northeastern Pennsylvania's biggest cities and some anthracite coal towns will hold a town hall meeting on the federal health care law in the wake of an uproar over its website woes and insurers discontinuing plans that don't meet the law's standards.

U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright was to appear Friday in Pottsville.

Cartwright supports the law, even though he wasn't in office for its 2010 enactment. But a backlash over the law in the last mid-term election of 2014 helped drive Democrats from office and Republicans into the House majority.

I think the title was intended to say "Democrat to hold town hall". And the "mid-term election of 2014" hasn't been held yet. Sloppy writing/editing.

Anyway, this guy is either very brave, or he plans to pack the hall with SEIU thugs and Obamabots.

His region depends on coal—that’s it. Period. If his constituents are too stupid to realize that this POS is trying to put them all on FOOD STAMPS, then God help us.

Qualifications to become an intern at WPXI are obviously 1) blonde, and 2) “C” cup or larger.

English writing skills optional.

When Arlen Specter died, a WPXI anchorette read without questioning that Arlen retired from the Senate after having been defeated for re-election in 2010 by Pat Toomey.

WPXI is the station where anchor Beverly Byer once famously went live and said “Groucho Marx took a turn for the worse today. In fact, he died.”

Arlen “The” Spectre switched parties after winning as a Republican with help from Rick Santorum in 2004. Then he lost his democRAT primary race against Joe Sestak. Toomey eventualy beat Sestak in the general election.

Yes, I know. I’m in PA and so is WPXI, so the anchor should have known that. They’re just readers.

Freepers in the area should attend and ridicule this worthless sack. As Clown Prince nobama, our Glorious Leader, said: “Get in their faces”.

Looks like Cartwrong got some hell at the meeting.
… (Cartwright) acknowledged that Obama should not have said that the law would allow everybody to keep their health insurance plan, if they wanted to keep it.

“He shouldn’t have said that,” Cartwright said, as some of the approximately 100 attendees seated in the Sovereign Majestic Theater salted in their own criticism.

“It’s a lie,” called out several people, including Lola Smith, who was notified in recent weeks that her health care plan—with its approximately $240 premium for basic health care, but no dental or prescription coverage—will disappear.

Cartwright started again, “What he should have said …” before attendee Smith, 63, interrupted him.

“It doesn’t matter what he should have said,” she finished. …
Well done—stopped him in mid-spin. Show them for the frauds they are.
