Oops! There it is… Another Lib Dem Loses It at Town Hall Event (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, July 12, 2010, 6:08 AM
Rep. Ciro Rodriquez (D-TX) met with some local constituents about our nation’s current state of affairs. It did not go well. Rodrquez did not appreciate it when his constituents confronted him on his false claims about the so-called cost-savings of Obamacare.
He lost it.
Via Breitbart TV:
It sure sucks when you can’t openly lie to your constituents about a piece of radical leftist legislation, doesn’t it, Rep. Rodriquez?

TOKENISM ONLY TAKES YOU SO FAR…HE JUST FOUND HIS “DUE DATE”.

StandUpChuck commented:
He’s not, not telling the truth, he is lying. Another useful idiot for the Obama machine.
Granny commented:
One has to wonder if certain of our “representatives” are actually literate enough to read either the bills they vote on or the reports that cross their desks.
Bill Fabrizio commented:
“Dont say I’m not telling the truth! I want to dialogue in a civil manner, so STFU!”
I love this democratic platform!
Reaganite Republican commented:
OK, now that you’re finished with your tantrum Congressman, back to the initial question-
Were you using real or inaccurate numbers, then?
Dustin commented:
It’s disgusting that the CBO let this lie live for any length of time.
It’s to easy to ‘revise the numbers’ later. Why was there such a rush to pass such an expensive and powerful bill? It hasn’t been implemented yet… clearly they didn’t think it needed to be instantly put into place. Why not get the numbers right?
CBO knew they were wrong. They knew many assumptions made were lies. This is a tremendously expensive bill for the taxpayers, but it also makes health care very expensive for anyone who was already paying for healthcare (And therefore, those who were upset by the cost of healthcare).
This is another redistribution. It’s just a lot bigger and more unwieldy. That’s why the democrats often get so defensive. They have so much to hide on this bill and know it will be loathed for ages.
Militant Conservative commented:
Check his I.D. he may be illegal. You sir need to be fired. You ARE a LIAR. powder is dry.
jainphx commented:
He slammed that paper on the table by the questioner, this could almost be considered to be assault. Funny how the slightest attempt to question these idiots is met by anger. To me that is proof positive that he is lying.
jainphx commented:
Years ago in my youth, I used to umpire baseball, and let me tell you, most of the time when an umpire ejects someone from a game, it is when he’s wrong and he knows it. When he’s right he will take the argument and the name calling a whole lot longer.
Henry Hawkins commented:
He just saved his election opponent a boatload of money for TV ads.
DaMav commented:
He doesn’t even know the correct name of the CBO which is hardly an obscure organization.
His numbers are suspect, and the woman was pointing out that they are changing and therefore his presentation is not factual.
The only thing missing is him calling her a racist; how did he slip up on that?
wanumba commented:
One after another. Have never seen before how many of our elected “respresentatives” are of the type that would get fired from a shelf-stocking job at a 7/11. Maybe that’s why Democrats hate the private sector. They’ve all been dumped by it.
mcnorman commented:
The guy obviously had way too much salsa before this occurred. I’m surprised he didn’t have a Moctezuma’s Revenge moment in front of the restaurant’s patrons.
retire05 commented:
Rodriquez is just another one of the open-borders Hispanics that stink up our Texas delegation. If you will notice, his little tirade is given at a Mexican restraurant.
How dare those Texans question his authority? What is he going to do, sic LaRaza on them? How dare those Texans be informed? Don’t they understand that Rodriquez is doing what HE thinks is best, the hell with what the voters want?
He is just as big a slug as Lloyd Lap-Doggett who made it clear that he was not interested in what Texans want, he would vote the way HE thought was best for them. The stupid people who elected Doggett should understand that he is Soooooo much smarter than they are.
These bums need to be thrown out.
retire05 commented:
BTW, Ciro, with all the jobs having been lost in the U.S., nice touch with the Mexican shirt.
NeoKong commented:
“Hey lady.
Don’t tell ME about a bill I voted for and never read. I’ll lie to your face any damn time I please.”
Mark1957 commented:
Oh, that is rich ! An open borders Congressman holding his town hall meeting at TiPPY’S TACO house, hahahahahahaha.
Rock commented:
Give the poor slug a little credit, at least he did not fall back on the time honored defense of its Bush’s fault, to discredit his accuser.
Paul Revere commented:
You are a LIER. Your party would not exist if it weren’t for lies. YOUR PARTY IS BUILT ON LIES!
None of what you accuse conservatives of is true.
And if your party didn’t own the media you wouldn’t get away with it……you LIER.
TWoPolitics commented:
Hey Rep. Rodriquez – rotate on your dialogue.
Auntie Em commented:
What a liar. Why is it that these dhimm’s get upset at women?? hmm…..
Texmom commented:
He is not the first I have heard lately, continuing to talk about how the CBO said it would save money and totally disregarding later reports that it would cost more. They think if they continue to say it, we’ll eventually accept it as the truth. Those days are gone, Ciro.
I understand why he would not like to be called a liar, but if you refuse to be up front with your constituents, what should you expect?
KR commented:
Dialog in a civil manner?
Take a look in a mirror, soon to be ex-rep.

More On Rep Rodriguez’s Anger Issues, Swears At Constituent
Along with the Big Government video I already linked and posted, here’s a thirty second video of Texas Democrat Ciro Rodriguez rationalizing robocalls and swearing at a constituent who wasn’t buying it. Between the two clips, the guy seems to have an anger problem, as well as not realizing who works for whom in this system.

kato commented:
Ciro is a Zero.
Peggy Noonan wrote in the weekend WSJ about this collective meltdown, all caught on cellphone cameras, of our congressional dopes. Their stupidity is only exceeded by their arrogance.
StrngernFiction commented:
You’ll have to forgive this “gentleman’s” budgetary naivete, cough. You see Rep. Rodriguez’s private sector career seems to have ended in high school where he did spend a year pumping gas — IN THE 60′s. Since then, he’s been a substance abuse counselor, a school board member, an educational consultant, a college professor, founded a “boutique government relations firm,” and been a politician (state rep. ’86 – ’97 and 10 yrs in House). So let’s go easy here, the “man” simply doesn’t know what he doesn’t know.
Stanley commented:
It must be a horrible state of mind for Circo and others just like him when they realize everybody knows.
wildwood commented:
I’m surprised that people are not getting the underlying message here. Yes, he loses his temper because his highness has been questioned. But the deeper message that democrats are not understanding is that their LIVES WILL CHANGE PERMANENTLY when they vote against the will of the people! Honestly, do they not understand that people are ANGRY? That they will be rejected by everyday people when they go home and try to go out to EAT?
Granny commented:
Pardon me, but how the hell do you get to be a “college professor” with nothing more than a high school diploma?
neomom commented:
Granny, did you notice it was “education”. As a new “Educator” myself with 25 years of corporate and construction experience, most anyone from a protected race that plops their butt down into a subsidized state college seat will pass. The entire curriculums are subjective. It’s sickening. That’s why my children go to private school.
newton commented:
About his “anger issues”…
Someone e-mailed Prof. Reynolds about this… and it might be closer to target than we think.
“I watched the video 2x and I can tell you that as a woman who used to be married to a physical abuser, I can detect a woman-abuser a mile away. I flinched for the woman that he approached with that paper in his hand – I thought he was going to smack her with the paper. And when he smacked the table, I had no doubt that he truly wanted to hit her.”
Hmmm… Maybe we should do a little leg work to see if he has some “women issues” before the police somewhere…
militant conservative commented:
Yet another example of good democrats questioning boldly. The Democrat leadership is losing its BASE. Folks I might have under estimated the midterm elections seat pick ups.
Definately 50 seat pick up now. Could go higher. powder is dry.
ginny andrews commented:
Has he not heard the revised budget projections? Why not?
Drew commented:
More and more, these sorts of events show that the “average joes” know more about what’s going on in Washington than the idiots in Congress. (They certainly know more about what’s going on than our compromised mass media.)
Robert commented:
They all have to go.
Democrats this time, then the Repubs.
Jeff commented:
As he approached the woman, something stopped him cold. I think there was a REAL man in the crowd preparing to hand this slug his backside, if he continued toward the woman. Abusers are that way. Demeaning, demanding and rude to women. One of us guys walks up and they’re all smiles and nice.
Punk! I would not bet against a woman beating his arse either. The only ones that are afraid of him have already been abused by him. To everyone else, he’s just another lying Democrat.
