2. This was a very good piece.

Funny how Repubs always scream that you gotta listen to the people...until they have to face them. This guy (Upton) obviously didn't care what his constituents wanted.

3. Great Young Turks segment!

The video of Upton getting reamed was priceless, and the discussion was also excellent. The people in Washington are out of touch, because their real constituents are the moneybags who put them in office, not the voters -- the voters are manipulated by expensive, misleading ad campaigns and as we know, often have a choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledee anyway.

6. Excuse me.... I love the last comment made about the arrogance of this elected

official... Unfortunately this guy is speaking what all of Washington is speaking, and for the last two years. we have been told we were in a jobless recovery... And that the jobs were never coming back....
