Re Grayson and the Republics - Bullies just HATE being bullied, don't they!
Reminds me of that scene in the Christmas Story when Ralphie had enough after taking a snowball in the face - and beats Scut Farkus into a bloody, crying mess.

Could we finally be seeing the Dems as Ralphie pushing back at last?!?!

I am all for it. I've been waiting for this since the Supremes gave away the presidency in 2000.

4. Yup, I worry about that. I also worry when the Dems will start clipping him down.
Grayson is the opposite of dry powder, gentleman Harry Reid - who has an approach proven to be 100% ineffective!

9. I think a decision was made to let Grayson off his chain.
The Dem leadership finally realized they were losing the soundbite war and let him do his thing.

Please---NO turning back now. Full frontal from now until 2012~

2. One thing about bullies - they're a one-trick pony.
Once you call them on their one trick, they've got nothin'. NOTHIN'! If you stand up to the bully, they have no arrows left in their quiver. The bully's strength is totally dependent on the bullied person backing down and playing by their rules.

Once you call them on their BS, they have only two recourses: repeat the same bully talking point over and over or louder and louder...or slink away to the underside of the rock from which they emerged.

The latter scenario is what happens 99% of the time with a bully.

5. They do!! I love bullying bullies. In fact, I ONLY bully bullies.
We should do that with the Repugs. It's a good stress-releaser.

8. They cut easily,don't they?

Politics is a rough game -especially the way the right has been playing.
One thing that has been lost in the ruckus though,is that Grayson is getting COVERAGE.
He is on every network,and his message is getting out.Exposure gains support,and bodacious remarks get exposure.
This is something the repugnicans know and employ routinely ,with much success.Why do you think they say such ridiculous things?
Because it WORKS -bottom line.
