Newt Gingrich - Let them Get it Out

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) said Sunday that lawmakers must weather the rash of angry constituent outbursts that are headlining town hall meetings across the country this month.

“Members ought to go back home, hold as many town hall meetings as you have to, let people get it out of their system and by September we could have a genuine dialogue in this country," Gingrich said on ABC's "This Week."

Voters are furious over heavy government spending, the tanking economy and the Democrats' rush to pass a massive health care reform bill this year.

“People are very, very upset,” said Gingrich, who recalled facing an angry mob of 800 machinists during his time in office. “They have this sense of a machine running over them.” - Politico

Finally! Someone who actually gets it.

It isn't orchestrated as much as the White House and Dems would like everyone to believe. People are down right pissed off. They are having all of this rammed right down their throats and they are very, very, very upset.
