Congressman Tim Scott (R-SC First District) stopped in Horry County Wednesday night for a town hall meeting. About one hundred people showed up to Horry Georgetown Technical College in Conway to hear their representative answer their questions about what he's been doing in Washington.

A fair number of Democrats in the crowd sometimes butted heads with Tea Party members in the audience.

Among those Democrats in the crowd, Rose Dixon.

"A lot of it has been one sided and they (the Tea Party) seem to get a lot of the coverage, so we wanted to show the other part of the story," Dixon said.

A few in the audience even debated with Scott. The Representative took the first 45 minutes of the town hall to show a power point presentation about his stances on a variety of issues, including the national debt.

"We need to cut things that are not national government's responsibility to balance the budget," Scott said to the crowd.

The Congressman added the U.S. has $1.324 trillion dollars in deficit spending, and that Congress should cut spending and balance the budget without any tax increases.

Scott also thinks the U.S. should withdraw troops from Libya and has voted for a withdrawl plan.

"We can't spread our troops so thin we can't defend ourselves," he said.

Scott also urged those at the meeting to lobby lawmakers to support horizontal drilling and nuclear energy in the U.S., something he says would prevent the pain at the pump and solve the problem of high unemployment rates.

He's asked President Barack Obama to intervene with the NLRB's lawsuit against Boeing for moving business to the state.

"It's just an awful, awful place to be to watch the federal government use our tax dollars to sue a private sector company that wants to move their jobs to the most profitable place on the face of God's green earth, and that just happens to be South Carolina," he told NewsChannel 15 after the meeting.

The last 45 minutes of the meeting, Scott answers questions from people there, as well questions that came in through Facebook.

"At the end of the day, my hope is that through all the medians of communicating with folks, that I get them. And that this is a dialogue not a monologue."

Scott was elected to represent South Carolina in November 2010. His district stretches from Georgetown and Horry Counties all the way to Charleston.

Scott says he knows there's a good chance he will lose a portion of Horry County as new district lines are drawn because Horry County has grown. He says until then, he doesn't care if his district lines are here or not, he's going to be here.
