Check out Channel Five in St. Louis this evening. The station actually covered people who went to Todd Akin’s office to protest his intransigence on the debt ceiling impasse. The photographer is Channel Five’s and the suit is Akin’s district director and communications director. The reporter got some interviews. Here’s hoping y’all gave ‘im hell, pointed out that this is an impending calamity that has no need to even exist.
Yes, we may be wasting our time with dunderheads like Akin and Leutkemeyer, but if we don’t tell them what we think, they can go merrily on their way believing they represent us. Leutkemeyer is such a coward he won’t even hold a flesh and blood town hall meeting. We get postcards with a few crazy questions all slanted to get the answers he wants. Then he does these “Leutkemeyer infomercials” by phone that are so sickening one of my friends literally had to throw up after listening for 30 minutes. If we try to get through to ask a question or make a comment, his handler says “good question, stay on the line” and then puts us on hold for the rest of the hour. And they get away with it which really pisses me off.
When will we know how the 9th Cong Dist will be divided up?
