[su_quote cite=”New Hampshire Union Leader” url=”http://www.unionleader.com/article/20140828/OPINION01/140829039&source=RSS”]U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-The White House, will not do any town hall meetings, though this is an election year and she surely could pack a high school gym with interested voters. She told Roll Call, the Capitol Hill newspaper, that the people pressuring her to hold a public meeting are “out of state people….” Goodness, she thinks New Hampshire voters are dumb.
…
The real reason Shaheen does not want to put herself directly before the people should be perfectly obvious.
Politically, Shaheen is a throwback to the old-fashioned, party-run politician. She expresses no thoughts of her own, only party-approved talking points. She agrees with President Obama more than he does. Put a talking-point robot in front of a roomful of constituents who want answers and leadership, and it will be a YouTube bonanza.[/su_quote]
