1. That beeping was annoying.
Anyway, that guy is either a liar or is willfully ignorant.

3. Perception is everything, let alone statistics say many people are unhappy with rising costs. I also

recall MN being very strongly for the Public Option. Added to that he didn't specify constituents, he only mentioned people and that can include everyone he's seen on news reports, protesting and much more.

5. I live in his district and it is not particularly wealthy
Kline is quite simply a tool for corporate interests, his constituents are not rich nor do we like our insurance plans. Kline is not our representative, he is our misrepresentative.

4. This video should go viral. Everyone with a complaint should send letters to Kline telling about it
If this would happen, it would take days for Kline and his staff to dig out of their office.

Kline knows there are lots of problems. He probably has whored himself for megabucks from the insurance lobby, which gives him the good conscience to stick his fingers in his ears and go, "La La La La. I don't hear any problems. La La La La....."

6. Kline has been the scurge of Mpls for years
attributed to a high turnout of retirees and seniors in his district who spend a lot of time with Limba and Faux. But also a large sector of 'libertarian republican' 30-somethings who actually think that they are the party of fiscal responsiblility because that's what they've heard from 'somewhere'.

8. Kline deemed to be "most out of whack" Republican in the country!
http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2008/05/exposing-john-kline-and-devious-tactics.html

In 2008 John Kline was judged to be the most "out of whack" Republican Representative in the country! And at Kline's recent "Town Hall" in Faribault, even his own "fiscal conservative" constituents are beginning to question his support for endless, costly wars and costly mercenary forces like Blackwater. But Kline gets millions of dollars from corporate interests that he uses to run ads to obfuscate his positions and many of the voters in his district are subsequently misled.
