But isn't the purpose of a town hall meeting to have discourse with constituents?

A speech is a speech. A town hall meeting should have a cross section of constituents so the politician can get feedback on the desires and concerns of ALL the citizens, not just the ones who agree with him or her.

On a different subject: The Senate race in California between Boxer and Fiorina (sp?) is going to be a doozie. I never thought anything about Boxer (other than she was a liberal California Democrat), until she went off on the General for his doing what all military are trained to do - show respect by answering "yes sir" or "yes ma'am". She exhibited in a really big way what is wrong with our politicians these days - that they no longer consider themselves servants of their constituencies, but the people are there to serve the politician.
