NEW HAVEN - U.S. Rep. Joseph Courtney is planning to talk to constituents about the red-hot topic of health care next week, but his decision to do it by telephone instead of in person is drawing criticism.
The Vernon Democrat's teleconference Monday evening comes as Congressional Democrats face increasingly angry crowds at town hall meetings to discuss proposed health care changes. Some Democrats have stepped up security or turned to teleconferences, which can reach more constituents than town halls, and be more easily controlled.
Chris Healy, Connecticut Republican chairman, calls it "a classic you-can-run-but-you-can't-hide" meeting.
But Courtney's office says the congressman has held more than a dozen such public forums since January. They say the format has nothing to do with angry outbursts across the country.
Why not have it via texting and plan it during rush hour?
That way it would have more "impact"!
Hey, U.S. Rep. Joseph Courtney... you are a pansy. A weenie boy. Chicken.
No. But then, that isn't their main concern. They don't want to have a discourse. What the voters in their districts want is just an unwanted distraction at this point.

It's all about control, and not having to listen or or even face their constituents.
They are simpering, elitist cowards of the worst kind.
Town hall meetings over the phone... that's just plain insulting.
Why's that? Simple. They don't want to be faced with the righteous wrath of their own screwed voters and have to answer tough questions to an audience that has had enough of their weaselly bullsh!t, that's why!
When the goin' gets tough, the little pansies get goin' and find a comfortable way to do it with a controllable phone call.
The only time I would ever want one of these wretches in a foxhole with me is if they are coming over the front side at me. What a pleasure that would be!
Chickensh!ts, the lot of them!!
Joseph Courtney has no balls.
Vote the eunuch out.
