Congressman Kagen Flips Off 8th District Constituents



I guess the 8th district Congressman Steve Kagen got an ear full from last nights health care listening session. Where were the rank and file? Here are three stories from the TV MSM. One thing seems to come out of the video's and information. No matter what his constituents want or tell him, Kagen will not listen to them. He thinks no matter what he does, he thinks he will get reelected again. He can do anything he wants.

How can a member of the U S House of  Representatives raise his middle finger to his own constituents? Congressman Kagen is either out of touch with his voters or he is absolutely clueless in congress or maybe he just takes orders from Nancy Pelosi. I'd say he walks lock step with Nancy.

Updated: Aug 31, 2009 11:47 PM CDT

Congressman Steve Kagen held another listening session on health care reform and hundreds of people turned out -- most of them to voice opposition to a government option for health care.

The debate is a highly emotional one for many, and at the forum at Green Bay Southwest High School Monday, the discussion drew repeated cheers when people criticized the reform plan.

Kristoffer Engebretson got Engebretsoned?
Looks like Kris got a needed vacation or was bounced off the health care beat by Julie Huck who
was handed the assignment to cover Steve Kagen. Couldn't of happened to a better news guy.

One protester, dressed as a grim reaper, held a sign that predicted doom for a government-run health care option. But the crowd inside Southwest High School in Green Bay was far from dead.

"You're not representing me and people I've seen at these parties...there are larger precentages of people against [the healthcare reform bill], than for it," declared one man in the audience to Congressman Steve Kagen (D) 8th District WI.

Kagen disagreed to a booing audience, saying the overwhelming response he's gotten from constituents has been favorable to healthcare reform.
