Well, no. I don't think one Congressman can take an entire major political party down, but I do agree that Grayson is a poor spokesman for the Democratic Party. He consistently makes crude remarks that seem very inappropriate to me. I don't see how he can win again if he continues with this type of rhetoric.

It's not rhetoric when it's the truth and boy does it need to be said. Somebody has to call these guys out.

"Blood drips from his teeth" is the truth? No, I think a statement like that is the epitome of rhetoric, and in my opinion, it's not a good thing.

You are really wrong about this.

He is exactly what is needed. Plain speaking, blunt talking, and he absoltuley takes no crap from right wingers.

He is a breath of fresh air. I'm sorry he offends your sensiblities but this isn't about your sensiblities is it?

It's about people dying from no health care. Young kids going off to die for needless Wars. Religous zealots trying to control peoples lives.

I really wonder about your priorities sometimes?

Rhetoric is one of the arts of using language as a means to persuade.

Grayson was not saying this to be persuasive. At this point. people that are fully aware of Cheney's evil doings do not need to be persuaded. The people that have not gotten it (the truth) by now...never will. Blood dripping from Cheney's teeth is not what I find most disturbing, it's the blood on his hands.

No, it was no rhetoric.

The very fact that Richard Cheney is walking around a free man instead of locked away like the traitor and mass murderer that he is should be considered a miscarriage of justice. That we shouldn't even point out his evil deeds is ridiculous.

I find this unbelievable and an atrocity. When history tells the story this is something that will be forever a blight on America's ability to uphold its own Constitution and justice system. At least we have people such as Grayson and General Eaton publicly telling it like it is. You cannot bury this much filth under a rug without it stinking.

Sure there is. If nothing else, it's seasonal, it's trendy. Vampires are in. Cheney spent 8 years sucking the blood of the American military to make his own dick -- and investment portfolio -- bigger. It's a great description.

Boy, Cheney sure does know what buttons to push, doesn't he?

It is just wonderful how the press is on top of ANY statement he makes. Really does force obama to respond.
