John Carney is Terrible

27 Comments

This town hall is complete shit. It is right wing frames-a-go-go. He is talking about how much he supports the cat food commission’s Medicaid cuts.

    He can’t deliver a single goddam response which does not shower love on Republicans.

    “current retirees won’t be affected…” yes he said it… or something pretty close.

    Tax cuts! That’s a great plan Congressman!! Goddam genius.

    Some guy is talking about how NAFTA outsourced our manufacturing. Let’s see how tax cuts can help fix that – I’m sure Carney has a tax cuts based response.

    Carney agrees that we have to make things, “tax cut incentives” will bring back the jobs.

    He sounds like a complete idiot.

    LOL… seriously, they just paused for a poll:

    “What is the best way for Congress to help job growth?”

    1. Lower corp tax rate
    2. Infrastructure spending
    3. Tax credits for business
    4. Retraining for workers
    5. Mix of all of the above

    That’s it. No other options. I didn’t press any buttons.

    I tried to push the button to ask a question first thing, and nothing happened. Either my phone is effed up, or their queue filled up right away and they aren’t taking any more.

    poll results

    53% said – mix of all above. Big thinkers on the line tonight.

    I guess I should have pressed 2. I was looking for some restructuring of investment taxes. Wishful thinking.

    That was a horrible call. The whole call-in town hall format is a travesty.

    Too true, Jason. He’s afraid to meet the public in person.

    I’m stuck on the first drink, and I want to celebrate the Phils’ 3-2 win. Can I turn to Fox and drink at the first fiber commercial?

    Tele Town Hall, perfect way to seem like you care without having to be in the same room with the filthy masses. They cherry pick the questions.

    I’m not voting for anyone who kisses right wing ass.

    Did anybody ask the question:”Will you vote for the Obama jobs bill (which you and I know includes tax increases on the wealthy)?”

    If so, how did Carney respond?

  22. Geezer

    Did anyone ask the question, “What exactly do you bring to the table? Because I’m not seeing anything.”

    We have been saying over and over the carpetbagger is influencing Carney and Coons. Not so much Coons, but definately Carney. Remember that Carney as Lt. Gov. refused to hold even a hearing on single payer, then went on the radio and lied stating “he had invited the single payer folk to his meeting and they declined”! He lies and cant be trusted. Sending this guy to Congress was a screw up. You can listen to occupywallstreet live all day. Vets are in front of the marchers, “protecting the protestors from the cops”.

    Carper is behind closing the post offices! Did anyone ask Carney if he supported the postal system and privatizing it?

    No. The calls seemed carefully screened to let through softballs and wingnuts.

    I did the only appropriate thing I could think of doing. I hung up after 20 minutes. If I want BS I can go to Carousel and shovel out stalls.
