The Contentious Town Hall In Tipton District Reveals Our Political Civil War

The attack counter attack atmosphere at the Tipton town hall reveal the mutual hatred between GOPPERS and people who appose them. The GOP thrives on hatred and racism and division. And the GOP seems to be content to throw gasoline on the fire so to speak.

We are more bitterly divided than ever. And there is no way to bridge the gap. The GOP wants or supports totalitarian theocracy rather than democracy. They support or corporate run state where freedoms are taken by corporations and not government.

A house divided we are and the jury is out if this country will stand in the longer term. We have a severe0y injured country that is bleeding out as the GOP stops any assistance from arriving.

Rep Scott Tipton (R) CO.

Here:

Shouts erupted at Rep. Scott Tipton's (R-Colo.) town hall in Montrose, Colo., on Saturday, according to the Montrose Daily Press, with the congressman facing heat for the government shutdown.

"You don't hold America hostage," one attendee yelled at the congressman.

Resident George Schupe added, "No more shutdown, no more de-funding."

Tipton called Obamacare "broken from the start" and told anecdotes of insurance costs increasing as a result of the law.

"That's not true!" yelled people in the audience.
