You have to watch watch this. Pretty amazing video recorded by CWA folks up in New York where the confronted Congresswoman Nan Hayworth (NY-19) for her BSing on number of job centric issues including the ongoing Verizon Strike, various free trade agreements, shipping out job overseas and also the issue on closing of tax loopholes.

Specially watch towards the end of the video when union member blasts Hayworth by calling her out on her hypocrisies on tax loophole. FTAs with these soundbites ...

"You are the problem! NOT THE ANSWER!"

"Mam, you are not the teacher here, you are a Congresswoman!"

This is worth getting out all over the place. Here is a suggested tweet:

WATCH: GOP Rep. Hayworth gets BLASTED at a townhall for her nonanswers on jobs, #VerizonStrike, FTAs http://t.co/mT0XJi3 #1u

Worth getting out over how progressives/unions members are turning up the heat on jobs.

1. Someone should ask her after she tells about her family...

"Would you be here today if your father's job was sent oversees?"

"Would you be here today if your mom family's couldn't sell the food grown on their land because cheaper food was being imported from overseas?"

Keep hammering her on her folksy stories of Americana...

2. A big shout out to the CWA retiree who posed the questions. These kinds of questions need to asked

at every public event where these parasitic members of congress are brave enough to appear.

Very good points you raise too, KD, thank you.

5. Absolutely!!!

And there need to be more comments like "you're not the teacher, you're the Congresswoman"!!!

What an arrogant air-head holding a microphone!!!!

[Enthusiast]

14. Right on!

Like many of our elected representatives she acts like her constituents owe her. She owes us!

3. Interpretation...

"I may not have anything upstairs, but, I really work out at our nation's capital... Can't you tell? What about these killer legs?"

P.S. My hat is off to the constituents at this meeting trying to make her act like a congresswoman, even though she's a schmuck.

4. She's my rep

And I damned well didn't vote for her. She's evil incarnate, that was obvious from the start.

6. Her feet must have been killing

her the way she was dancing around on stage in those spiked heels in her mini-skirted business suit reciting rags to riches stories and ducking serious policy issues.

[MrMickeysMom]

7. .... and she wasn't "ducking" them very well, either!

8. I say let them

As soon as they pay back every tax deduction, depreciation,
advertising write off and subside. Time American worker got
free martini lunches.

9. K and R. This needs more views! nt

[glowing]

10. Is she a republican or democrat? I can't even tell anymore... They all seem to say

the same shit about the free trade crap. She's in her own little world with her stories that have nothing to do with helping represent people.

[Quixote1818]

11. She is a Republican. nt

12. She is a moran who represent my district...hasn't done much for the locals...

we see letters every week her office is unresponsive. The veterans sure miss John Hall whom she defeated. She is an ivy league tea partier.

Her new flag waving is preventing the VA from leasing off land and buildings which are now vacant & unused......its all part of enhancing the much needed services. she looks at it as a money making scheme for the VA??????

13. While claiming to represent the Democratic Party

"our" President is leading the charge in support of these trade agreements.

And it doesn't matter that hundreds of thousands of us have petitioned the President to stop his support for these agreements. These agreements CREATED the rust belt.

Wake up people, help build momentum for a primary challenge to Obama.

15. I am reminded of an old movie I've seen a few dozen times . . .

Minister of Labor: Your Excellency, the workers are demanding shorter hours.
Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx): They are, are they? OK, then. We'll start by cutting their lunch hour to twenty minutes.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -- from the motion picture Duck Soup (Leo McCarey, 1933)

16. It is just disturbing what these people say

Seriously, if they do believe what they are saying they are profoundly, deeply, incredibly stupid ignorant people, if on the other hand they know and understand what they are saying then they are profoundly, deeply, incredibly evil people....

I just dont get it - which one are they ? Someone needs to start asking these people straight up if they truly believe what they are saying, or if they are doing it for the personal profit.
