#5 This was not meant to be a place where we're going to talk partisan politics
In other words, he only wants to talk to people who slavishly agree with him.

#6 I was at a Cao Town Hall, and to his credit he showed up, allowed anyone in, and accepted questions from anyone - though of course weaseled around answering a lot of them. But he's a Republican, kind of.

#7 "Don't get me wrong, Congressman Ryan will debate anyone that agrees with him, anytime." There fixed it for them. "A threatening letter" Like one? What pussies. I dare them to walk a half mile in Glen Beck's, Ann Coulter's, or Sean Hanniy's shoes. I say half cause they would curl up in a ball weeping after that. What I take away from the article is that they (donks) do not want accountability for votes.

#9 These individuals are refusing to come to there performance review. If someone was supposed to be working for me, but was actually being coached in how to rip me off, acting as though they OWN me instead, I would fire them IMMEDIATELY and go after them what they took from me. Recall now. Recall is a viable, All American, internal process. Don't wait until November to remove "some of them" or these coniving thieves will make it harder to do then.

#10 I didn't think there was a provision in the U.S. Constitution for recall. However, I thought I read that some States have a kind of provision for recall. If recall is viable, I am all for it when representatives are arrogant, ignore the will of the people--in other words don't do their job and don't think they are accountable to anyone but party (or collective if you prefer).

#11 We're gonna vote your fat ass out" is a threat, I guess

"I disagree with you" is a threat also.
