McCain Speaks With Angry Crowd at Ariz. Town Hall

Post by Appaholic »

PHOENIX – Sen. John McCain met with an angry crowd at a town-hall meeting about health care reform Wednesday, sometimes having to fight to talk and telling one woman who wouldn't stop yelling that she had to leave.

After McCain opened it up to questioning, one man angrily pointed at him and asked the senator why he deserves a better health care plan than him.

"I'm trying to get it for you," McCain told him. "We'll do it for you. We'll make it affordable and available to you."

When McCain was trying to answer questions from reporters after the town hall, one audience member yelled at him that he gets hundreds of thousands of dollars from insurance companies every year.

In a voice of feigned surprise, McCain said "Really? I didn't know that."http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090827/ap_ ... 5zcGVha3M-

BTW, McCain 2008 contributors? Health Industry = $5.2mil; Insurance = $2.8mil...

Wyoming's Enzi is on the committee and he receives about a fifth of his campaign money from the health industry. No town meetings here because none of the Wyoming delegation supports change in the health care industry.

Just a lot of poe folk talking bad about their country and flying rebel battle flags.

"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."

Don't disagree....they're all whores, but to feign 'surpise' at being told you receive contributions form the industry.... :roll:

Put both of those together, and it's a little less than 1/8th the amount of money Obama got from trial lawyers. And it's less than what McCain himself got from it.

So, was his surprise that he got money form Health Insurance or that he didn't get enough?
