It's about standing for something. Conviction. Not Compromise.

I like Alan Grayson. He stands for something, and does not apologize for it.

Apologies are for sissies. They are a sign of weakness. Never apologize. Ever. Even when you know you are wrong.

1. Conviction. Strong rhetoric.

And intelligence. Grayson studies all the multi-tentacles of what enslaves us inside this Mtirx. He "Gets" that the Federal Reserve is a big pile ofpoop, a laughable pile of poop, if only it didn't have that power to enslave us.

2. Grayson doesn't need to apologize because he's not wrong

I don't know how you extrapolate that to never apologizing for anything at all. That person would be George Bush.

3. In theory, you are correct and I agree about Grayson but when a person is involved

in personally scandalous behavior,it is really best to quickly admit the wrong, apologize and move on. Many pols never learn that. Look at the recent example of Gov and the Argentine girlfriend.It depends on the situation. But when you are taking a principled stand on an issue and speaking the truth in an appropriate venue, never back down.
