Back in Central Texas while Congress is on a month-long recess, Congressman Lloyd Doggett faced an angry reception at a town hall meeting at an Austin Randalls store yesterday.

Doggett, D-Austin, spoke at the Randalls at Brodie and Slaughter lanes on Saturday. A video of the event on YouTube shows many in the crowd showed up with signs denouncing President Obama’s proposed health care plan.

Witnesses say that when Doggett was asked if he would support the plan even if he found his constituents opposed it, Doggett said he would still support the plan. From there, the crowd began chanting “Just Say No,” and overwhelmed the congressman as he moved through the crowd and into the parking lot.

“The folks there thought their voices weren’t being heard,” said Kathy Acosta, a Bastrop resident who attended the meeting at Randalls and another one later that day in her hometown. “They were angry, but they were respectful. There wasn’t any violence.”

Calls and emails to a Doggett’s office were not immediately returned today.

The first of many, unless the media starts a blackout.

The arrogant Damnocrat could care less what his constituents think. The only solution is to run a candidate against him and boot him OUT at the next opportunity!

He’s a worthless arrogant SLAVE to obozo and the dumb-o-crat leadership.

He, along with the dumb-o-crats could care less about what the voters care or think.

Well I guess he doesn’t “represent” the people who elected him....he represents zerobama, pelosi and reid.

Arrogant bastard.

[donna]

What were they thinking when they voted for him?

I think it would be unlikley for a conservitive to get elected in that district.

He is a member of the House right? Do you expect a member of the House of REPRESENTATIVES to represent you?

If after a month of this, he STILL votes for it - he will be gone w/ no question at all.

If the thing passes, then we’ll elect people that will overturn it.

If the vote fraud backs us into a corner, that’s when trouble starts.

The ballot box works when it’s allowed to function. If the ballot box is taken away, well, nuff said.

Here’s a thread from yesterday afternoon posted by The Bat Lady who attended the Austin event and gave a first hand report. Sounds like he got a good thrashing..

Thanks, these Dems are going to vote for it, they don't want Obama to fail. They also know Rahm has the elections covered, enough fraud for them to have no problem getting re elected.
