for fear of upsetting the TP. But bi-partisanship, they can't stop themselves and imho, anyone who asked him for an apology for telling the truth is not a Democrat at all, just posing as one.

... keep digging and compiling and send the whole stack to Debbie W.-S. and Martin Bashir. They can't seem to remember anything more than a day, maybe a week. Thanks for really jogging the memories among us who somehow have forgotten. Tea Partiers are such disgusting bigots. And now, we know they are our domestic enemies with their recent shut-down of our country.

why a great truth telling DEMOCRAT like Grayson should be insulted by asking him to apologize to THEM. He told the truth, they ARE racists. No one should ever be asked to apologize for telling the truth.

For sure! Never ever apologize for telling the truth. I guarantee you this: Debbie never gets up and says anything in public unless it has passed some kind of minder behind the scenes. What I would like to know is who is the status quo PR minder? Her words were nothing but a cow-tow to the right. Who are the PTBs, sabrina? Who are they? And what is their mission? If I was her and someone told me I had to say that or else, I would have told them to "take this job and shove it!"

who are buying our government so their agenda remains safe no matter how destructive it is for the average citizen.

The SC eg, granted Personhood for Corporations to clear the way for them to be able funnel more money to candidates in both parties they believe will protect their Corporate Agenda.

The best way right now to determine who is speaking for Corporations and who is not is to check out the donations of each and every candidate, then we should make that huge issue in the primaries.

OWS has awakened the country to the horrific influence of Wall St on our Government. So the stage has been set to use that knowledge now to undermine the Corporate Candidates by publishing their Donations.

We cannot get campaign finance reform so long as candidates are beholden to Corporations and there are so many of them now in Congress that we need a new strategy.

Make Corporate Money a huge issue against Corporate Candidates. Support and donate directly to Progressive Dems rather than donating to Party Pacs who then use the money, as we've seen over and over again FOR the Corporate candidates.

Publish the Corporate Donations of those candidates and ask the question 'Who will this candidate be working for if s/he is elected'? Over and over again.

A massive campaign during the Primaries should help to counter the money. Of course people will have to be willing to work for it, our only hope is huge numbers of people donating their time and talents to remove Corporate Candidates and replace them with Progressives.

We will hear the usual lies about having to keep this Third Way canidate or that in the Primaries because 'a Progressive can't win in this District' etc.

Well we've tried that and look where we are. It's time to test out that theory imo so we can get a truly Democratic Congress instead of one where half the party votes with Republicans on important issues.

I would have said no way. The ugliness that is seething out either openly or whispered in confidence turns my stomach. It also compels me, drives me to get involved, work harder and do whatever I can to get the right candidates elected.

Clean House in 2014!

she's jealous she doesn't have the backbone Grayson has. Why is it that corporate Dems feel the need to
say Grayson is 'over the top' and has never said/can't say bagger are over the top with the racist signs. if you google
teaparty signs and click images, oh my god. all this shit should be on bills boards up and down Flori DA's . I-95. Maybe then
Debbie Wasserman would shut her big mouth, what's so difficult saying 'no comment'. DEBBIE?

If good people say nothing, For you corporate dems, Silence is complicit.

I could not help but make a donation to Mr. Grayson.

She has gone so far, as to endorse Republicans running against Democrats in Florida.

She was smart enough to not actually use the words "I endorse", but she certainly praised the pukes and undercut the Dems.

She says they're her "friends".

Fuck her and the horse she rode in on. I've never voted for a Republican in my life (61yo), but I'd vote for anyone running against her!

Imagine what would happen if Grayson raised more money than any other Congressman for telling the truth. It might become a little more popular.

What was the Republican Health Care Plan? Oh yea, Don't get sick, and if you do get sick die quickly. We can't say it enough.
