You’d think a public servant would be more inclined to “hear” from the people. Not Carol Shea Porter

 Yesterday I attended the so called "town hall meeting" with our Congresswoman, Carol Shea Porter in Manchester.  Let me first start off by saying, the venue she chose could only hold 100 people.  While there were two scheduled "town hall meetings" Saturday, both had a limited capacity.

VIDEO: Carol Shea Porter on socialism: We are not going in that direction

During Carol Shea Porter’s town hall meeting today in Portsmouth, one questioner asked about the corrupt government in Washington run by unelected czars and what she was going to do about the loss of liberty.

Perhaps they should just have a big cup full?

Congresswoman Shea Porter calls attendees at Seacoast GOP gathering "teabaggers." Buckles the Clown, AKA Dem Party Chair Ray Buckley calls Jack Kimball, who will be announcing a bid for the GOP nomination for Governor, part of the "radical fringe."
