I just have to see this guy has really grown on me over the last couple of months.
A real stand up kind of guy.
"Prominent conservative media critic Dan Gainor has offered $100 to the first member of Congress who punches "smary [sic] idiot" Alan Grayson (D-Fl.) in the nose, reports Media Matters.
But Grayson is not one to back down from a media brawl. He told HuffPost: "I think he's overlooking something important: I punch back."
This cat does not have the tenure like Denny does, but I've got to admit, he's definitely one of the most outspoken political cats out there.
"This is their response. This is how the right wing does it. They pay people to clean for them, to cook for them, to drive for them, and now:To punch for them. Or, more specifically, to punch me for them.
We knew they're crazy. It turns out that they're also lazy. Too lazy to throw a punch themselves.
So here they are, inciting violence against our elected officials. Just as they did during the healthcare debate, when many of my Democratic colleagues -- and my five-year-old son -- got a death threat.
But they're forgetting something. Something very important. We punch back. We punch back with our votes, and our voices. And we will be heard."
Nah, liberals don't punch back, they quietly slink over to a corner to ruminate about what they did to make someone want to punch them in the first place.

Right, and kerry, all the kennedy's, soros, stristand and all the other rich liberals have no servents to wait on them hand and foot.
He's another real stand up guy and an unsung hero fighting for fair trade deals and the survival and prosperity of our manufacturing sector.

Even the businesses in the politician's constituency may not have much representation.
Its time to make public servants, once again public servants.
We need an amendment to make sure our politicians are 1st and foremost beholden to the actual people that make up their constituencies.

The humbleness and honesty of this guy is refreshing.
"Now, on derivatives, yeah I think they were wrong and I think I was wrong to take it because the argument on derivatives was that these things are expensive and sophisticated and only a handful of investors will buy them and they don’t need any extra protection, and any extra transparency.
I’ve said that all along. Now, I think if I had tried to regulate them because the Republicans were the majority in the Congress, they would have stopped it. But I wish I should have been caught trying. I mean, that was a mistake I made."
When will Junior and the Emperor take responsibility for their reckless behavior that nearly brought the US along with the whole entire globe to the brink?
Translation- I didn't do anything about this but it's someone else's fault.
Clinton is a sleeze and he disgraced the presidency.
Why does everyone forget this...
For one terrible week in July 1995, daytime temperatures in Chicago soared above 100 degrees; even at night the mercury barely dipped below that. Public-health officials knew the prolonged heat would be deadly, especially for frail seniors, but they were stunned by the final death toll. Altogether, the heat wave killed more than 700 Chicagoans more than double the number who died in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. As New York University sociologist Eric Klinenberg writes in Heat Wave, his remarkable book about the tragedy, "The proportional death toll ... in Chicago has no equal in the record of U.S. heat disasters." The victims were mostly poor, black and elderly...over 1000 died in Chicago and Milwaukee. Clinton was playing golf...
Maybe Hillary feels that her husband is above blame because local and state officials are responsible for taking care of people during a widespread natural disaster.
