Claire McCaskill doesn’t understand the “rudeness” from her most recent town hall.  She was also flabbergasted to learn that, for some strange reason, people weren’t inclined to trust their great Senator.

 Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) expressed dismay at the behavior of her town hall audience today, stopping at one point to criticize what she called “rudeness.”

“I don’t understand this rudeness,” she said when an attendee interrupted her. “What is this? I don’t get it. I honestly don’t get it. Do you all think that you’re persuading people when you shout out like that?”

“I beg your pardon? You don’t trust me?” McCaskill asked when the attendee responded. The crowd erupted with a loud “No!”

“I don’t know what else I can do,” McCaskill said.

Allow me to help you understand, Senator. Your party has rammed through multiple pieces of major legislation with little opportunity to even read the bills, much less digest and debate their impact on America.

This government has no credibility left to claim that it is interested in serious discussion of the issues.  If Obama and Pelosi had their way, the health care bill would have been passed before anyone had any say at all.

People are just tired of it. They are fed up and they are waking up. That’s why they are rude, and why they don’t trust anyone in congress.  It’s not necessarily personal to you – as you are one of the few Democrats who has genuinely tried to listen to your constituents without deliberately belittling, condescending or otherwise insulting them – but since you made your bed with Pelosi, you can expect to see the consequences.
