is making demands about the audience as the Bush people did.
this isn't the same thing as BUsh did i don't even know why youw ould make the stupid comparison.
if you have a problem with this that's one thing but intentions are questionable with comparing it to Bush.

THe point is, you do not "cast" a Town Hall. A Town Hall is for voters to speak out. |
