Guinta Guilty

Congressman Frank Guinta stood like a guilty schoolboy in front of his constituents trying to justify bad behavior Thursday night during his Town Hall meeting at Exeter High School.
The one hundred plus attendees, who were overwhelmingly of an older generation, came well informed and many were armed with the latest technology. They came to hear about Guinta's support for the Ryan Budget Plan and did not have long to wait. The first question out of the gate was a request that the freshman congressman explain his vote. The query brought a loud applause, the answer: not so much.
Rep. Guinta prefaced his response with the "no one over 55 will be affected..." mantra which brought on boo's and heckling from the folks. Later in the evening Guinta tried that line again only to receive an even stronger vocal outburst of dissatisfaction. Seems the Republicans have underestimated the graciousness and generosity of those in their golden years.
Guinta is guilty of falling for the faulty hype in the halls of Congress and failing to understand his constituents.
To his credit Rep. Guinta tried to keep the meeting fair and orderly. He made notes, and promised to follow up, on concerns residents had on a variety of matters including Corporate Personhood, Ethanol subsidies, and the Great Bay legislation. Video Link of Thursday night.
