The Republicans hate it when confronted by the truth. Thats why they all got hysterical over what Grayson said.

4. I just hope that Grayson doesn't get marginalized like Kucinich
Nobody really pays attention to Dennis when he speaks...

6. Not the ones
Taking millions from the health care insurance companies, and not the ones taking millions from other special interest groups, that's fur sure!

The biggest problem we have in government is all the "MONEY" coming in to officials who put the interest of those with the money ahead of their country, and the people who voted them into office. The people need to voice their anger by voting everyone of them out of office who is on the payroll of those special interest groups!

8. posts like this make me angry there are many liberal hard working dems in congress
How many times are there posts that state things like Jim Webb should be president or Al Franken should be president. Yes, there should be more strong liberal voices. But, do you think Bernie Sanders is in the senate being silent? The press controls what words get out to the public. They don't quote Kucinich or Sanders or Maxine Waters. The voices ARE there.

9. Barney Frank is usually pretty forthright.
And funny to boot.

10. and don't forget Bernie Sanders, Anthony Weiner, John Conyers,...
Jim Webb, there is quite a list of members who speak the truth but have been getting less air time. The corporate media always goes with fads. They turn someone into a fad and then, like top 40 radio, over-play them so that no one wants to listen to them again. Then they drop them and that person has trouble getting a reporter to listen to them again. Dems , in general have trouble getting any reporter to listen to them because the corporate media is inclined toward the corporate side, not the people's side. The DLC thought if they went to that side, it would change things, but that didn't happen.

Now we do have a few shows on MSNBC that air the people's side of things but that is about it and the Dems are still not getting much airtime unless they say something truly outrageous. I don't think what Grayson said was outrageous, I think it was the truth stated so baldly that it got people's attention. And the pubs are livid that someone actually stated the truth so baldly and might have woken some people up to the truth of their philosophy.
