Witnesses said that when Doggett was asked whether he would support the [Obama health care] plan even if he found that his constituents opposed it, Doggett said he would. People then began chanting “just say no” and overwhelmed the congressman as he moved through the crowd and into the parking lot.
Emphasis mine.
Wow. So your constituents say no, and you — as the person that is supposed to represent us — opts to ignore us.
Folks, it’s time (well, it’s well overdue) for Lloyd Doggett to go. I don’t care if you’re Democrat or Republican or whatever political ideology you subscribe to. This goes well beyond that. This is someone that has demonstrated he doesn’t care about you and will vote and behave in whatever way benefits him most. He has demonstrated a flagrantly disregard for the will of the people that he supposedly represents. If he doesn’t want to listen to us, then he doesn’t deserve to be our representative. He has totally forgotten what his job is all about.
