Marine Confronts Congressman on Health Care
The only thing I don’t like about this video is that it cuts off the congressman’s response. I would have liked to listen to his response to that.

What a baby. He wanted to use the scene to make his point and didn’t intend for a dialog, just an ego boost. Then he walks out. I would have been interested in the Congressman’s response to a Marine who trys to make his case based on hearsay.
Got a beef with Pelosi, tell her yourself!

DY-David, he didn’t walk out. He walked back to his seat where his family was located.
This is happening all over the place. People are tired of the government making decisions for them, that ultimately ends up with a higher price tag, and they are speaking out. The left just doesn’t get it, and they aren’t going to get it until they are removing their things from their offices after a 2010 election defeat. Good riddance!
NY-David:
What exactly did the Marine say that you believe is heresay?
A little research turned up Bairds comments that Mr. Hedrick referred to.
Please note he first denied saying them, but then said he apologized for it.
Why apologize for something you never said. Liar!

8-10-09: Baird said Republican leaders were “egging on” and were reminiscent of the kinds of things that drove Timothy McVeigh to bomb the Murrah Building in 1995.

Educate yourself before spouting off, lest you come across as just another sycophant spouting off the talking points that were distributed.
My understanding of the process was that you wait to have your question answered. I saw him kiss his wife and didn’t see him sit, so I assume he continued walking.
Gee, what a message. Mis-quote the guy you are trying to debate with and then call him to task on someone else’s comment. Now complain about a part of the bill that isn’t even in the bill.
Regardless, its a health care bill, not a child-rearing bill. Take care of your kids yourself.

Lynda…VERY well said!! Thank you!!
Quite frankly, I don’t care what Baird said and didn’t say. The marine didn’t go up to debate heath care, he went up to take out his greivences and make the crowd cheer. I’d be interested in knowing if he ever mentioned his issues privately to the representative.
btw, the hearsay moment was when he stated the Congressman wanted to “indoctrinate” his children.
I stand corrected in the fact that it did appear that he went back to sit by his family. I still don’t know why he didn’t wait for an answer.
