"Angry, petulant" Congressman does NOT get away with calling Elizabeth Warren a liar.

Check out Warren's response to the accusation that "you're making that up". Priceless.

She's my hero.

3. Nothing. It was her physical reaction....
...she sort of leaned back with a shocked expression. Somehow it really put him in his place.

Others came to her defense at that point.

6. If those idiots can't get in there in the allotted time to ask questions
then the fault is theirs, not hers.

7. I'm guessing . . .
The Honorable Mr. McHenry doesn't fit anyone's definition of a Southern Gentleman. Shame, sir!

9. I can't believe he is still in office---he's one of the worst in our state's history!!
Would you believe there is even a group called "Republicans Against Patrick McHenry".

Here is his latest disgusting controversy in NC ---

"State Republican leaders scrambled Wednesday to distance themselves from comments made by U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry, who suggested that his party would use race as a determining factor in redrawing North Carolina's congressional districts to give GOP candidates maximum advantage."

More---On March 2, 2010, McHenry proposed new legislation, H.R. 4705, that would redesign the face of the $50 bill to include the likeness of the 40th President, Ronald Reagan.

More---McHenry stirred further controversy with his remarks on April 1, 2008, regarding a trip to Iraq. Speaking to 150 Republicans attending the Lincoln County GOP Dinner, he called a contractor — reported first by blogs as a "U.S. soldier" — performing security duties in Iraq as "a two-bit security guard" because the contractor denied McHenry access to a gym.

More---On April 16, 2008, Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call revealed that McHenry used funds from his PAC, "More Conservatives", to fund the defense of former aide Michael Aaron Lay's voter fraud charges incurred during McHenry's 2004 race. McHenry gave Lay $20,000 to pay legal bills on voter fraud charges brought while Lay worked for him.<24> These expenses were labeled as "Legal Expense Donation", according to FEC reports. Lay agreed to a deferred prosecution agreement, which stipulated he complete 100 hours of community service and pay $240.50 in court fees and $250.00 in community service fees to have the charges dismissed.

17. Y'know, Con(g)-man, those "contractors" are not soldiers...
They're not bound by the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and seemingly can do whatever they want in Iraq.

So if a contractor mistakes your fat ass for an Iraqi insurgent and accidentally empties a 30-round clip into it, good luck bringing the perp to justice.

Not advocating violence, I'm just saying...

11. Wow an Exxon/Mobile commercial promoting fracking leads it off??
I understand internet advertising but that was painful! At least they wasted their money on me.

It makes me want to vomit. Slimy looking guy. Ugh!! And I knew from the start he was talking about fracking.

Pretty cute, huh? That nice little house with the porch light on. <swoon>

13. Did you never mentioned the extraction method?
It was all hearts and flowers about how wonderful our life could be with all that natural gas. :puke: To think our tax subsidies went to paying for that pos commercial.

15. I stopped believing oil companies 40 years ago...
I grew up in oil country and watched them screw landowners with standard drilling. You can't fight them.
