Monday Night with Patty
Submitted by James on Wed, 07/25/2007 - 5:23pm
This should be good. Little Patty McHenry is hosting a live-blogging session on his own website this Monday night to answer questions from constituents.
Congressman Patrick McHenry today announced he will host a live, unprecedented Virtual Townhall on Monday, July 30 at 7:30 p.m. Tenth District residents interested in participating can visit the Congressman’s website – http://mchenry.house.gov – at 7:30 p.m. next Monday and click the banner located across the top of the home page.
Hat tip to the Dome for posting this story first.
McHenry's spokesman, Aaron Latham, said McHenry will be able choose among inquiries if he's overwhelmed by a flood of responses, but he insisted the Congressman won't shy away from tough questions.
In the spirit of true democracy, please post your questions for Patty here at BlueNC and we will make sure he gets all of them in advance of his "town hall" meeting. We'll then compare our questions with the ones Patty actually answers on Monday night to see whether the designated Bushbot pitbull can honestly explain the gay old parties in his house, voter fraud by his campaign staff, the record budget deficits he's supported, and the thousands of troops he's voted to send to their deaths.
Hey Patty
How come Barney Frank hates your guts?
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
hee hee hee
I really needed this laugh! Thanks. I'm still chuckling.

Lincoln did not sleep in a double bed while on the road?
How come Barney Frank hates your guts?* A
Yeah! And how come the Log Cabin Republicans won't return your calls until you come out of the Closet?
I wonder...
The last town halls that Patty had involved him using some choice words with constiuents in a way that would make Conrad Burns jealous. Will we see Patty type "Shut up and sit down" or will he just ignore us?
"Keep the Faith"
"Keep the Faith"
It's online
So he'll probably be lying on a chaise eating grapes from one of the boys while the steno-pool types what they think he should say.
Here's another question: How did it feel to get your ass handed to you on the Big Christmas Tree Fiasco, Mr. McPat?
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
How Much Fun?
... the types of questions he's asked.
Fun!
I've never hung out with Pat at his place, though I've heard it's good to bring a snorkel and a feather boa.
Scrutiny Hooligans will definitely be there.

Should I bring shrimp -
or fowl .. . er, foul?
How about a real question.
Rep. McHenry.
Over 50% of bankruptcies in NC are due to health care. Over 75% of those people were insured when they were first ill or injured. Given that free market insurance fails these people - should they be eligible for public insurance BEFORE they lose everything they have worked for, or only AFTER they have lost everything they have worked for?

Jesus Swept ticked me off. Too short. I loved the characters and then POOF it was over.

Mine was a real question.
Just sayin'.
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
and he certainly does hate him
and it is costing nc funds

So maybe the question is
Why can't you get along in the spirit of bipartisanship in order to benefit the state of NC?

Maybe he's too busy with the spirit of bi-curious.

Polluting our State Legislature with money.
Excellent, Robert.
We really do need come up with serious questions for him, and see if any of them are answered - even if we don't like how he answers them.

Why weren't you transparent about your earmark for Mitchell Co.
so that your constituents with similar problems in Avery County would have a chance at that money . . . hypocrite.

Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.

Poor Patty. She doesn't have a chance.

Dear Patty...
Why are you such a tool?
Larry Kissell is MY Congressman
See, I was going to ask
How does it feel to be the shortest known person ever elected to Congress?
Had I known Betsy would drop the F Bomb, I would have just signed off, and gone to bed. She wins. :)

Do what I did 3 years ago.

And if you don't needit/haven't thought of it
in the next 3 months, kick it to the curb (or dumpster as the case may be) Moving time should be celebrated as streamline your life makeover time. It's an opportunity for sure....she writes wistfully...I haven't moved in 24 years.
Have you called to support H. Res 333 Impeach Cheney Today?
call 202-224-3121 & ask for your Congress member by name
Progressives are the true conservatives.
Hubby has claimed the garage
We have a small loft and all the boxes are going there until I go through them and get rid of the stuff we no longer need. I don't want to put them in the attic first. I'll never pull them back out.

Nail the attic door shut
Never put anything up there. It's the black hole of home ownership.
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
I'd ask...
What is it you put on your hair to make it look like dried out road-kill?
Ha.
I'm not sure we'd really want to know.

Can you imagine...
... the psychological and emotional problems this guy must have?
Is megalomania treatable?

not sure...
...but having a delusional voter base sure doesn't help.
first ever and unprecedented
I love how he is trying to front like he invented this idea.
He will be the "first ever" elected official to use the internet to communicate with voters.

something on ear-marks?
What about something on ear-marks? This was a practice McHenry has personally abused but which the GOP has used to hold up whole process now that Democrats are in control.

I've tried to link to anything ever written
at PatGoByeBye under the earmark tag (except for blogs that are obviously part of the Republican "machine" spewing the talking point about what a martyr McHenry was.)
Here's the best overview I've seen. It's from Scott Lilly at the Center for American Progress.
News of the 10th district: See Pat Go Bye Bye,
here is a question for McHenry
Why did he miss the vote to provide the largest increase to veterans health funding ($37 billion) in the history of the veterans affairs administration (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2007/roll498.xml)?
