on hold for Wall "phone" hall mtg

[Lefta Dissenter]

or whatever it's called. We've been waiting for 45 minutes and they keep taking other people's questions. Oh, surprise, they've run out of time. :(

1. So what were you going to ask?

Because that could have been a lot of fun - especially if you were the last one to get a question in.

2. the longer we were on hold,

the more questions we wrote down. We had said to the screener that we wanted to ask about integrity in campaigns (we tried to be vague) - I wanted to hear (and record) him commit to 100% honesty in campaigning, and to ask him to promise that he would be ready to provide documentation for every claim that he makes in his campaign. I know it sounds like a namby pamby request, but I just know that if everyone had to be honest, there's no way another teabagger would weasel his way into Congress.

My S.O. was going to ask him which of the bush administration's actions he would have challenged or disagreed with.

But after 45 minutes on hold, watching Keith Olberman and drinking wine, there's no telling what we really would have asked, given the chance. My S.O. ran for governor of WI in the late '90's, so he's not shy about asking questions of those who want to "represent" us.

One of the questioners thanked Wall for coming to their teabag rally :eyes::puke: Most of the questions were from people who were expressing their gratitude for Wall's support of business and of wealthy people. It was disgusting, and even more so when I think of it tonight, after watching the telethon for Haiti. :cry:
