The tension was already palpable at a townhall held by Democrat Congressman Jim Moran (VA) as he tried to sell Obama’s health care plan to dubious citizens. But things went from bad to worse when Moran had the audacity to ask for a constituent’s ID instead of answering the man’s question. Moran made this remarkably inept move under the auspice of controlling outside protestors from attending (and ostensibly) disrupting health care townhalls.
Moran is a poster boy for sneering, bad-mannered politicians. Americans deserve better from their representatives.
It’s too bad Moran and other Democrats don’t have this much passion for requiring ID at the voting polls as they do for ID-ing their constituents.

Yes, Senator, voters do deserve better from their representatives. We’ll be watching when you address the gathering of “right wing terrorists” (the words of one of your own, not ours on the Dem side) at the Capitol on Friday and collect per diem for doing so.
