So would you like him if he called your mother,sister,daughter, neice someone in your family that? Just asking
If a relative was shilling for the Federal Reserve I'd be like Grayson. But then again none of my relatives are undermining the economy.
I see what you are saying, kinda like you can pick on your brother but an outsider can't. Protecting your family or friend. Same with many Republicans and Democrats. When the agenda fits them it's okay but when the other side does something similar it's wrong.
Do you really think that Grayson is dependent upon his salary as a Congressman in order to "live"? Have you even bothered to look at the man's bio?
"We" are "bosses" only in the sense that we have a little imput via the voting booth into whether or not these people get hired. That's it.
For many of those in Congress, EXCLUDING GRAYSON, their real bosses are big corporations, like, for example the corporations in the insurance industry (see Joe Liberman). That's where the campaign money comes from, and corporations make absolutely sure that they "buy" as many people in Congress who influence what happens in terms of regulations, laws, etc., which affect them as possible.
- I dont care what the mans bio is. This isnt about who pays that salary and who he works for. You claim he doesnt work for the big corp then you would think he wouldnt insult a citizen of this country because he knows who he does work for
Thats the problem. You shouldnt support any elected rep calling any citizen an insulting name.
You just dont seem to see that this leads to corruption. You dont seem to see that by saying Hey its ok if you insult this person because of this reason. We'll over look that. Then next thing you know they say, Hey I insulted so and so and it was fine heck democrats even sent me money, So I can get away with insulting this person also. What else can I get away with?
Then next thing you know you have a gov that knows they dont have to answer to us, That they work for themselves once elected. They can keep telling us whatever they want to just to win election.
That's just so... untethered to grown-up reality. And, you know, in the thread about the SC hypocrite with the prostitute girl in the cemetery, you defended him with, "People make mistakes...."
How could I change the audio?! I quoted the Enron line because it's the lead-in. For God's sake.
You can listen to the interview by clicking the blue italicized sentence in the post above.
LMAO Who said anything about changing the audio?
I dont care if shes a lobbyist , a lawyer, working at jack in the box. He has no business insulting a citizen you are bringing up her being a lobbyist to try and get outrage from her being a lobbyist to make an excuse for him insulting a citizen.

He IS working for YOU, or trying to, and the sex of the Enron attorney/Fed lobbyist didnt matter. Please try to make yourself understand that. You dont have to believe it, just try to understand it.

He was talking about her professional role, not about her. Okay, Ive tried as best I could.

What????
Grayson does not need anyone's money BTW. That is one of the reasons that we like him. What do you think that he wants to get away with? Chewing gum while Congress is in session?
Ahhhh, small-minded, naive folks just don't seem to get hardball politics..... Jade.
I would suggest that it precisely because of his education, intelligence, and strength (having been an enormously successful businessman in the past) that he UNDERSTANDS what it takes to be a Congress person who will fight the good fight for those who have almost no voice.
Hard ball politics? Come on now is there no level some wont sink to try and make an excuse for this.
lets just accept insulting citizens because its hard ball politics lets not demand change.
Oh wait didnt Obama promise us change we can believe in?
That's just so... untethered to grown-up reality. And, you know, in the thread about the SC hypocrite with the prostitute girl in the cemetery, you defended him with, "People make mistakes...."
Just so strange....
Thanks for pointing that out...I'll go check it out for myself.

Nice of you to leave out the part of me actually saying
I said that he lost his job good. I also said if he paid for or hired this person he should be charged. <<< to you that is making excuses
Now if he slept with an adult that agreed to sleep with him how is that any of my or your business? The part about him making a mistake is because someone brought up his family values.
