Her office said the people person Congresswoman plans a telephone-town hall meeting in a couple of weeks.

Hey, it is not like her district is right next door, and she can hop in a van on a Friday or Saturday, be away from DC, and in her district, in only a few minutes.

She is not SuperWoman!

Comstock’s office said the invitation suggesting Comstock would be in attendance at the town halls was “in error” and “should have just said staff.”

Her deputy chief of staff Jeff Marschner said Comstock that day attended three other constituent events, including one that morning focusing on human trafficking in Loudoun, Va., and an afternoon celebration of the Vietnamese Lunar New Year.

Looking forward to the day Gerry Connolly holds an event where a republican can ask a question.

Breath, not holding it.

Barbara Comstock - the only member of Congress from Northern Virginia who has any influence, is in great demand right now.

Shouldn't you be posting something about me, even though I live on the west coast and am not related to Barbara Comstock?

Virginia Democrats are already organizing against Comstock, plotting ways to pin her down with any Trump administration hiccups or missteps by her more conservative colleagues on Capitol Hill. A few days before the town halls, for example, Our Revolution organizers had encouraged their followers to attend her town hall to “tell her not to repeal Obamacare without a GOOD replacement that covers everyone,” as Laurie Tyler Dodd wrote on the group page Jan. 25.

“If you live in her district (or nearby), give her a piece of your mind!” Dodd wrote.

Members of the same group also blasted Comstock for failing to visit Dulles Airport over the weekend to help anyone caught up in the travel ban chaos. Two other area Democrats, Reps. Gerry Connolly and Jamie Raskin, did visit the airport.

Then why were these statements not corrected, or a corrected statement put on her campaign website page before the meeting?

She also went to mega-church opening on Sunday where she didn't allow any questions there as well. What is your point, sir?

Sentence structure is important.

Was the event in Loudoun [County] focusing on human trafficking, or was the event focusing on human trafficking in Loudoun [County].

Except she's not from Va she's from Massachusetts. Another carpetbagger masquerading as a virginian.

Yeah, she's really busy hanging out at the Eden Center for Lunar New Year with some Vietnamese grandfather that thinks he's Hogan from Hogan's Hero's.

I wonder what she is saying to him

"You like Trump, no?"

"I have been to Vietnam, and I think I saw you when I was there."

"You know, Donald Trump did not go over to fight you like Secretary Kerry did."

"was that your wife who said a long time ago 'me so horny.'"

"Good Morning, Vietnam! person."

"Have you ever in you life met John McCain?"

"Shabbat-Shalom, And Maletov!"

"Gungan-Style!"

She voted last night for making it easier for people with documented mental health disabilities (from social security payments and records) to buy guns.

And her town hall "dis" made the Rachel Maddow Show last night.

Is it time for Babs to call her "dear Friend" Sean Hannity to help with damage control?

Can you elaborate on the names of the folks that Messrs. Connolly and Raskin provided help to, and what that "help" entailed?

I can recall several times over the past 20 years when we would receive a message stating that some Federal, state or local elected leader would show up to our event, and on the day of the event a staff member would show up instead. What really happens is that like airlines these elected officials deliberately overbook, figuring that some events will get cancelled. If they don't the official shows up at what they consider the most important event and send underlings to the others with some lame excuse such as "the response indicating X would be in attendance at your event was in error and should have just said staff".

You're not fooling anyone with that message. We know it wasn't a mistake. Is it rude? Yes. Does it piss people off when the official does not show? Hell Yes. Is Comstock unique in doing this? No.

"Most important?" or safest. I would bet Barbara chose the mega-church and the Vietnamese holiday because they were not going to be angry Planned Parenthood-ACA loving rabid suburban moms and wives who are chomping at the bit to tell her to take her conservative votes, stick it where the good Lord split her, and then fix this mess she has been working on for the past few years.

From the looks of her Facebook page, nine out of 10 comments are angry, but well presented.

If she thinks it will just blow over, may I present to you, Ms Comstock, your friend Kelly Ayotte, who in her fist few months as a Senator voted against gun control measures right after Sandy Hook. Six years later, the voters did not forget that vote.
