4. One thing I don't like about Grayson is he seems to ignore

the fact that there are corporatist Democrats who are just as wrong as Republicans. It's been very clear where Barney Frank stands on certain issues.

8. Well, he's in a tough spot in that regard.

It sucks but politically necessary, or so I assume.

5. Speaking of choke holds...

What about Israels' choke hold on Middle East policy?

6. I hope Grayson wants to be President someday.

Why don't other Democrats have ads that kick ass like this?



Because too many of them are suck up DLC wimps. In a midterm election with no presidential race only the very committed bother to vote. Right now that is Republican fanatics. Democratic voters are disillusioned by our formerly hopeful president and are staying home. That almost guarantees the GOP takes over Congress in the Fall.

In the words of Harry Truman:


""If you run a Republican against a Republican, the Republican will win every time.
