Congressional Dems, listen up. That sound you just heard...
... is the sound of your constituents, those who hold your hopes for re-election in their hands, rising to their feet at the sound of Grayson's stand, and shouting, "YES"!!!!

3. Fun To Watch The Rushpublican Reaction...
They're not used to getting blowback...and it appears to be coming in several forms.

No doubt Congressman Grayson has energized many of us who have been sick and tired of the right wing and rushpublican lies and are proud to hear someone speak up. Enough is enough! What made it sweeter is instead of backing down, Grayson doubled down. Democrats...especially first-termers aren't supposed to do that...they're supposed to go back into their holes with their tails between their legs. Grayson is standing strong...and many of us have lined up behind him.

The GOOP appears pettier and pettier...the party that protests too much. Their strategy of "Poutrage" about any and every little thing is starting to grate and have less and less effectiveness. Grayson knew...no doubt invited a reaction to what he was saying and played the rushpublican game back at them...never back down, never appologize. He showed strength on their terms and they are having troubles dealing with it.

Their "strategerie" is to try to turn Grayson into the Democratic version of Michelle Bachmann. The difference, of course, is majority agree with Grayson and his eloquent defense based on facts and truth only exposes the rushpublicans to more ridicule. Their poutrage games are starting to get real stale...but that's all they've got.

5. How quickly a bully backs down when someone meets them toe to toe
It is the best way to expose their cowardice
