Edited on Tue Oct-06-09 10:15 PM by BlooInBloo
republicans went home whining like whiny ass titty babies.

There's a lesson in all of this, somewhere, I think.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/10/6/790381/-DEMOCRAT-WITH-GUTS:-GOP-Surrenders-to-Grayson

CBS News:
" Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida, a self-proclaimed "Democrat with guts," appears unlikely to be subject to a resolution of disapproval for suggesting that part of the Republican health care plan is for Americans to "die quickly if you get sick."

The Associated Press is reporting that a spokesman for Republican Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, who drafted a resolution of disapproval against Grayson and threatened to introduce it on the House floor, is suggesting that Price does not plan to do so."

Whiny ass titty baby:
""...at this point the people of his district are probably in the best position to register their approval or disapproval of Mr. Grayson's consistently embarrassing behavior," said Price spokesman Brendan Buck."

More from various sources at the link.

Is it just me, or does this whole episode read like Where The Wild Things Are?



:rofl:

2. I wish we had at least 200 more like Grayson.
Democrats should be standing in line, waiting for their chance to kick the Republicans.

9. Grayson didn't get the memo--we're supposed to be the good cops for DCs ruling class
We're not supposed to actually win fights!

What Grayson did was like leading the Washington Generals to a halftime lead over the Harlem Globetrotters. He'll be reprimanded by his coach in the locker room.

10. Grayson 2010
The campaign is on. Talked to a Grayson staffer yesterday. He said that in 2008 Grayson had the second highest total of
canvassing contacts in the nation. Number one...Barack Obama. Congressman Grayson has strong support here however he only won by 4 points against a disgraced but incumbent Ric Keller. Even though Orange County Fl is trending Dem it will be VIP to get voters to vote at the polls or by absentee ballot.
