The latest craze – cowardly politicians refusing to hold townhalls during August recess aka Milkcarton politicians

Before the liberal moonbat whiners come out with their “right-wing conspiracy” attack, this list of cowardly politicians is far from only Democrat. Great examples of some wonderful “Republicans” including John McCain, Chris Smith, Mike Rogers, and so forth. But do be forwarmed, the vast majority of this list is infact democrats. You know, the ones who want to explain why we need to change EVERYTHING in healthcare to make it better? It even includes that turd Minnesota’s own Al Franken! Hotair.com has compiled a list of Milk Carton Politicians — members of the House and Senate who go MIA when they should be meeting with their constituents to hear their concerns over the health-care overhaul, cap-and-trade, the failure of the stimulus package, and the exploding federal deficit.

    Don’t forget Jim Costa D-CA

    Please don’t forget Louise Slaughter and Brian Higgins both reps of the Western NY area. Slaughter is so arrogant that she told reporters she remembers rowdy townhalls from the 90′s but she doesn’t have the guts to hold meetings now!

    You missed mine!

    Norm Dicks (D-Wa)

    When I called his office on cap and trade, the person whom represented him on the phone told me “To Hell With You! And To Hell with the Constituents.”

    At a Rotary meeting, here in the state, he told the people there, that he did not need a “Town Hall” to know that the people want, and he will vote for, HR3200 when he gets back to the other Washington!
