So tonight we peons in Bay County got our revenge. On a rainy night, the results of the tail end of Tropical Storm Ida, I guess we really did show him our collective ass.
We pretty darned near filled the bleachers on one side of the gym, and half of the other side. He began taking two questions from each section. We nailed him time and time again.
We had to sit through admonishments to be polite - his rules. We listened to questions that got no answers. We sat through his rudeness, and at one point, he nearly pulled an older gentleman, a veteran I believe, down the steps trying to remove the microphone from his hands. He was so rude and so disdainful that he was a disgrace. But aren't they all? He decided not to answer questions and that's when we decided to walk out.
We heckled, we stood and applauded, we sat and applauded, threw in an occasional "boo" and heard him tell, despite a terrible sound system, lie after lie, evade questions, and in some cases, turn away while people were still talking, showing us a degree of disrespect we will not soon forget.
One of our medical professionals gave a lot of background on his practice, insurances and just about called Boyd a liar. This fellow knew names of staff he had given information to and was never given the courtesy of a return call or letter. He is an ex-Marine. He made us proud with his knowledge, professionalism and tenacity. I was sitting two seats away when Boyd just turned his face away and continued down the line.
Two more questions and I saw one man head for the doors, stopping to speak with Burnie Thompson, our early morning talk show host. Burnie was standing throughout the meeting at the back of the gym, shaking his head. He is a passionate lover of freedom, liberty and the Constitution.
I started to leave, turned around and there were people following me in a trickle. Then there was a rush for the doors. Some of us gathered in the lobby.
We had done something quite significant. We turned our backs, literally, on our so-called elected Representative. After you are in office, re-elected many times over, feel like you're so secure NO ONE will ever unseat you, and you start sweet talking your constituents when they are informed and aware and get this treatment, it must be like a kick in the gut. I think he knows he's dog meat.
He lost control of us. He is no longer in control here in Bay County. We were finished with him "Sshhhing" our senior women, and ignoring the issues. We were disgusted with his behavior.
I just saw him on television after the meeting. He looked drained. The reporter asked how he felt with people leaving "like that", and all he could muster was some sort of doublespeak followed by "I respect that." But he also said he felt our anger.
You can say that again, Boyd. I hope that tomorrow he will ask his staff to start collecting packing boxes because he's not going to make another term.
You will not, Allen, lie to us anymore. We will not allow it. And you will do nothing to harm our country. One small vote is nothing to crow about. You are not the head honcho, the top banana,
the big cheese, the only rooster in the coop. You are not going to dispense bull pastries anymore to an informed constituency.
But you will, I'll wager, vote for that Obamanation called Obamacare in the next round. But then soon after you will no longer be a Congressman. Steve Southerland will take care of that. He's going to replace you.
Shame on you, Allen old boy.
Bye, bye Boyd.
PS: To help all of them pack, I suggest we donate a small amount of peanut packing material in small containers, packed tight so that your Congressional weasel will get the hint. Staff can put them in a big plastic garbage bag with that packs a huge carbon footprint, and when the boss gets unelected, they can put them to good, green use. Waddya think?
