Yes, it is no surprise that Liberals,
would spin this vile rhetoric of congressman Grayson as an issue of, "Well, she deserves it", rather than considering that there is a way to civilly communicate.

This man has time and time again proved that he is not civil. Yet, Liberals will defend him to the end. Mr. Grayson is representative of the childish, immature nature of the Democratic Party. Kids run rampant in this party and their behavior is on display daily.
It is very sad to see.

Me- Republicans are willing to let 40,000 uninsured americans DIE every year because it might cut into the profits of their insurance industry manner. We should make ALL these lobbyists wear red dresses and fishnet stockings, just so...

We hear on these threads how the left hates the right, the right hates the left. Here in Montana ,yes we have differences in our political beliefs, but the major difference is we work together for the good of our communities, yes I know we are hicks we are unsophisticated too, but we still don't have to lock our doors at night, we still have a respect for our nieghbors, we still help eachother in a time of need, some say we are bumpkins, if that means we don't join the rest of the rats in the race, thats a good thing. I have all I need in this paradise, and sharing it with others that are in need is a good thing and we all should try it for ourselves, what is the worst thing that could happen?

Of course neighbor helping neighbor is always more effective. If there is a way to screw things up the government will find it. The government should be so limited that they cannot ruin anymore of this country.

That's the way it always used to be until the government stepped in and took over. And of course we all know how efficient and caring the government is.
Who knows they are so determined to bankrupt this country we may end up back in the 'good old days' when neighbor cared for neighbor without going through DC asking/begging for permission to do so.
The only empowerment the government really has over us is the income tax..get rid of that and the beast could starve and we could get our country back.

Sadly, many have given up any attempt to help their fellow man. These clowns are too lazy to give of themselves and want to push it off on the government.

My family has for years always chosen families to help. I was so pleased that after watching my spouse and I our children have also picked up on that tradition. Just think if everyone who could help his neighbor did. No governmental skimming off the top. No red tape just one human being giving to another. I find that the more liberal the person the less charitable they are.

despicable Grayson. IF he's an embarrassment to the Dems in congress, then, by Gawd, let's keep his loathsome assss there! I thought that bunch of shameless wonders was beyond the ability to be discomforted by a pig like Grayson. IF I'm wrong, let's conspire to get him re-elected. The more he blathers from his no-impulse-control pie hole, THE BETTER! He might be just the fool to tell Rahm & Axle to stuff their threats and pleas to shut the F%$k up!

Yep, Alan Baby, you keep flappin' that verminous mouth. Pleaaaasssssseeeeee...!

the blind spot of the Lefties is that they fail to realize that SOMEONE will always be in charge of their lives. Under a democratic republic that believes in capitalism that someone is YOU. Under other systems - not so much. That is why America is so exceptional - we are a race of people who don't want to be under a king. One has to have little hope and/or be brainwashed into thinking that socialism/marxism/communism/fascism can ever be a good thing.

This country needs a more giving attitude, a more positive feel for it self, it is not about ME all the time, it is about WE. We all should give to our communities, this is where the individual can and does make a difference, we are having our annual food drive in two weeks for our local food bank, we will be going for a new record of collecting food for the needy, last year we filled 4 1/2 pickup trucks with donations, This kind of giving to the community gives one a good feeling that we can help eachother,it is nice to see positive accomplishments.

Those who think that fundamentally changing this country will make them happier are in for a big disappointment. If they have spent their life not taking advantage of all the great things that this country has to offer they will be even more disappointed when they find out what the government will give them. A great big nothing.

Life is too short to keep yourself medicated with booze all the time, Even though our country is in rough shape it is still the greatest place to live, So many great things to see and do, I'm glad I have never had the weakness to go through life in that kind of a haze.

Oh I thought she might have just woken up from her drunken stupor and smelled herself. That hung over smell is always ugly. Oh well she can just grab another drink and she won't know the difference again.

this smells just like a lie bou blog-same sense of faux outrage and a link to politico-are they adapting her insipid style or are standards just continuing to fall?

Of course when conservatives say outrageous things it encouraged then cannonized for all time.

I guess that's why their blunders have a longer shelf life.

I thought Barack Obama made a campaign promise that he was going to rid Washington of lobbyists?
I do know that he wanted Tom Daschle in his administration very badly and Tom Daschle has been a lobbyist for a long time now. As has been his wife. Actually, he's hired dozens of former lobbyists in his administration.

Is this what he meant by cleansing the place of lobbyists? Having congress toss epithets at them?Hmmmm.

He calls a lobbyist for Enron who now works for Bernacke a "K-Street w h o r e." I guess, what is the problem with that? Too accurate?

The fact that ANYONE associated with the Enron debacle is in a position of power or influence should be scary enough. Did you all forget how they caused the California energy crisis? Or triggered the 2001 recession?

Yeah, big corporations buying our elected officials, Nothing to see here. Business as usual in Washington. What, you used a bad word, Congressman Grayson?

Develop a sense of perspective, people.
