GOP is a "Lie factory" -Fla. rep. Grayson. One "tell it like it is Democrat"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4086653


article in THe HILL: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/61281-grayson-the-gop-is-a-qlie-factoryq


... some party members are now calling for Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to sanction the congressman for his comments -- much as Democrats rebuked Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) for interrupting the president during his address to Congress. But Democrats have grumbled at that suggestion, claiming it is little more than a distraction from the more important debates confronting Congress.


Grayson said Thursday he agreed with that perspective, but he also offered some tough words for his own party, which he said needed to work together to overcome Republicans' stall tactics.


"We've got to get past this point where everything is stalled; where the Republicans are winning just through inertia," he said. "We have a majority, we have to use it."

1. "Some Party Members", I assume Spineless Democrats who do
not have the courage of their convictions to stand for the people;
therefore they want to shut down others might make them feel
guilty or show them for what they really are: DINOs.

Ignore them Speaker Pelosi, Ignore them!!!!

Grayson the type of Democrat who scares Republicans. Republicans
want to remain the only ones who look strong so they can continue
making the party in charge roll over.

Hang Tight Nancy! You go Grayson.

2. Dems need to realize if they stand and fight for what's right they will get others to follow.

.. and if they don't and the public option fails, at least if it was given an open vote (no fuckng voice votes like the Senate Finance committe allowed) later when everything goes over the cliff they can point to those who were responsible.
