It seems to me the original purpose of so-called town hall meetings was to share information, and allow a politician to interact with constituents on a personal basis to get a feel for what they want.

If they're turning into nothing but glorified political rallies on the one hand, or on the other hand just becoming an excuse for opponents to noisily dump on a politician instead of listening to him, I'd say they're no longer useful.
When opponents stand and question, these folks will stand and chant, "Health Care Now" so loud that no one will hear the question or the answer. So much for an orderly town hall meeting, huh?

That is exactly what they were told to do here too. They have scripted questions to ask as well. I cant believe some people on this forum turn a blind eye to these facts.

If the one side is showing up just to shout down the politicians holding the town hall meetings, and the other side is showing up just to shout them down, the format has obviously become useless.

That's a shame. They used to be a place where the voters could find out what the politicians were thinking, and the politicians could find out what the voters were thinking.
