Man, I love Rep. Alan Grayson. If he ever runs for president, he has my vote!
Rep. Alan Grayson's response to Sarah Palin saying he should be voted out of office:
"I look forward to an honest debate with Governor Palin on the issues, in the unlikely event that she ever learns anything about them"

"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960

Grayson is wonderful. I wish he was my Congressman.
I wish he was mine too!
I love the part when Grayson says sarcastically, “I know what you’re thinking…when did I buy a hotel chain?” (paraphrasing) and then he goes on to say the Federal Reserve bought it on our behalf.
The REICH-wing has already started their attacks Elena Kagan (from Sen. John Corny and “Boner” in the House who has NO say in confirmations!). Watch for underhanded remarks about her sexuality, since she has never married, and wears her hair short. From Huffington Post, Joan Garry said:
While CNN and MSNBC covered the nomination of Kagan by President Obama, I switched to Faux News and instead, Bill Hemmer was being smirky about the House just voting for a $6 billion dollar rebate program for those who make their homes more energy efficient by adding more insulation, changing out drafty windows and doors. Hemmer called it “Cash for Caulking” saying it sounded like “Cash for Clunkers!” Fox cannot stand to cover NEWS coming from this White House.

The REICH are already out in full-hate mode over Obama’s choice of Elena Kagan for Supreme Court. They would even hate on him if he had selected Jesus H. Christ!

Personally, I was hoping for Diane Wood, the more liberal candidate of those who were vetted. Wood was valedictorian at her Houston high school, graduated from U. of Texas and U. of Texas Law School.
Kagan will be another New Yorker, along with Sotomayor and Ginsberg (Roberts was originally from Buffalo). Two more are from New Jersey (Alito and Scalia). So the New York metro area is heavily represented. Two are Californians (Breyer and Kennedy) with only Thomas from Georgia being the odd man out. Where are those from the great hinterlands between NYC and California? Also, with Stevens resignation, there are no longer any protestants on the court. Wood is protestant. Six now are Roman Catholics, and with Kagan’s confirmation, three (Breyer, Ginsburg, Kagan) will be Jewish. Secular humanists need not apply!
Mine is David Wu, and he’s good, but nobody holds a candle to Grayson. We love him from Portland to Portland.
