WHITE NOISE INSANITY

Bah hahahahahahahahaha! Gutted like a fish by election day. Now why is that? I thought the republicans have been telling us that the Democrats have faltered and the “only way to fix things now” would be to vote for a republican (yeah, yeah, vote for the people whose party effed up America!)? Oh wait! The republicans didn’t count on a guy like liberal progressive Rep. Alan Grayson who calls out their lies at a drop of a hat and means every word of it!

From Politico:

Grayson’s team is quick to warn prospective GOP opponents that the controversial first-term incumbent plans to run a punishing campaign.

“The people who decided not to run obviously do not have the stomach for the difficult race,” Grayson’s senior campaign adviser, Julie Tagen, told POLITICO. “As for the people who have already entered the race, they are a veritable ‘Who’s that?’ of Central Florida. Whoever wins the nomination will end up gutted like a fish by Election Day.”

Grayson himself has openly gloated about his lack of Republican opposition, releasing a Top 10 list to his supporters last week explaining why no one wants to run against him. In it, he joked that candidates are passing on the race because their wives will cheat on them back home, and launched a thinly veiled barb at Crotty, whom he accused of “shaking down vendors in Orange County.”

Several Florida Republican operatives acknowledged that some prospective candidates were reluctant to sign on for what they expected to be a scorched-earth campaign that, even in the event of victory, would come at the cost of having their reputations dragged through the mud.

Love Grayson!

One thing I learned about Grayson as I read down through the Politico article is Grayson is one of the richest guys in the House of Representatives. He is? He acts like you and I do though! Precisely. This is what makes Grayson the same as Sen. Ted Kennedy: they have a lot of money but they refuse to back down when it comes to helping the poor and middle class of our country. Selfless human beings which is a far cry from every member of the republic party scumbags. Grayson has made the point on the floor of the House that it’s a little hypocritical for anyone in the House to talk against the public option and other plans that would help Americans when most of them are wealthy and have great insurance. Hell, Grayson pointed out that the republican’s plan for Americans is for them to ‘die quickly’ because dying quickly is cheaper for the health insurance companies! Anyway…

Here’s what Rep. Alan Grayson wrote on his DailyKos page:

My speech has been replayed on CNN, Redstate, Huffington Post, etc, and mainstream media pundits are saying that I’m the Democratic Joe Wilson. Of course, unlike Joe Wilson, I wasn’t rude to the President. Unlike Joe Wilson, I didn’t break a rule of the House. And unlike Joe Wilson, I actually told the truth. Every single year, over forty-four thousand people in America die because they don’t have health insurance. Read this Harvard study. That is the plain truth.

And now the Republicans claim they are going to introduce a resolution “disapproving” of my behavior.

What is this, junior high school? Do they think my feelings are hurt? Just what do these people think health care means? It’s not some abstract “issue”, we’re talking about life and death! And the Republicans, who ran the government in full or in part from 2001-2009, chose to let those 44,000 people die, every single year when they were in power. And George W. Bush, whom the Republicans somehow pretend was not President for the last eight years, just let them die. He even vetoed health care for poor children.

So apologize? I don’t think so.

YOU ROCK, GRAYSON! Keep up the great work and keep those republicans scared of ya! We applaud you each time you do.
