Unfortunately, I think I agree with you. I guess there's a first time for everything.

I think it's pitiful that Grayson is being held up by some as an example of what other Democrats should be like. Ted Kennedy didn't use Grayson's type of language; was Kennedy a wimp? Neither did Paul Wellstone; was Wellstone weak?

Some people don't understand that you don't have to be a bully in order to be respected.

The Associated Press: 'Die quickly' Democrat kicks up new controversy

I don't understand the appeal of this guy. I don't even understand how he became a Congressman. As a Democrat, he doesn't speak for me, that's for sure. I think he's an embarrassment to the party, and I hope he has a serious challenger in his next primary election.
If he thought he could sing, he'd be on American Idol to get attention. It must be tough being a nobody in Congress but he pulls a little drama queen act (see Lindsey Graham for the master of that art) and not only gets his mug on TV, finally, but gets the President to notice him. And for what? So people now can add his name to the list of Congressional Low Approvals?

Where is N.O.W to denounce this classless bum or are they too partisan to get involved?


I can't believe some of you idiots are O.K. with this. Yes you are idiots!

I'd say that 20% of the population makes you a minority. Do you disagree?

Many expletives (among other things) are needed for those who are pillaging our country with their greed.
No he is insulting citizens of this country that he is paid to work for.

Are you allowed to insult your boss and get away with it? Walk up to your boss and call him a name and see what happens to you, This is why they have this attitude that they can say and do whatever they want because there people now make excuses for them instead of holding them accountable

He's showoffy, showboat-y but a lot of lawyers are, and a lot of overachievers are. The "bigger than life" kind of guy.

Well the voters will decide if they like him or not when they decide if they want to let him keep his job.

Personally I like the guy.

Dont you get that is the problem. Of course you like this guy because hes a democrat now if this were a republican saying this about someone. I doubt you would like them so much for speaking their mind.

Also he is in a republican district its doubtful hes going to keep his job thats why he keeps getting his face on tv like this cause he knows hes got to raise cash to fight to win again.

So tell me this can you insult your boss? Can you walk up to your boss and call them this or any other slur?
