Grayson calls it a term that is "often seen as disrespectful of women." With whom does he hang out where it is sometimes seen as respectful of women? I know ; it is with the hateful, intolerant liberal democrats that make up his base of support. NOW should be insistenting on his defeat in the next election to maintain any credibility as an organization that supports women's rights and not just liberal women's rights.

If he was a Republican the calls for his head would be the week's top headline,since he's a Democrat the silence on the matter is deafening!!

attack and denigrate everyone. It is the Progressive way.

If you look at the guy he could only bang a whore. The lobbyist is probably the closest that he has ever came to a woman without a ten dollar bill hanging out his zipper.

Grayson is pathetic.

"Alan Grayson said late Tuesday it was inappropriate for him to call Fed adviser Linda Robertson a "K Street whore" during an interview last month on the "Alex Jones Show," a syndicated talk radio program."

LMFAO! hey she is an ex-Enron lobbyist so she can take her fellings and hand em to the devil, he allready has her soul

demitrix

attack and denigrate everyone. It is the Progressive way.

s/Progressive/rightard/g

Danno1,

If you believe the words of this moron, then you would also feel the Democrats want you to die also, but die SLOWLY to continue to feed them taxes to pay for their mislead governance.

Fact of the matter is, Grayson's words did nothing to help the Democratic cause and in fact offered absolutely nothing to advance our Country. If he doesn't have anything good to say, then he should keep his mouth shut.

If the shoe fits...Grayson is only blurting out what other people on here type. So what if he is a pol? He can't speak down to earth? If a woman takes money from subject A and pushes their agenda and tries to get them benefits, then yeah, whore is appropriate. If the whore doesn't like it, then quit being Subject A's whore...pretty simple.

And who in the hell said anything about this current crop of rejects "advancing the country"? These thieves couldn't advance their way out of a paper bag unless they got paid for it. Who anointed them as the Generation Of Advancement? It politics as usual.

First Amendment works for me, or does it only apply to a Republican ...

What a bunch of whiners, it's done get over it .........

Apparently Grayson has shut his mouth long enough to notice his plummeting poll ratings.

The apoplogy comes as too little and too late. The damage has been done, and NOBODY here in his district belives it was sincere anyway.

Enjoy your LAST TERM in office Grayson you PUTZ. I will be first in line at the polls to vote for WHOEVER you are running against.

Maybe the voters here in Orlando can borrow Mickey Mouse from Disney in 2012.

If John Boehner called Nancy Pelosi the whore that she is, that would be okay then?

You know, freedom of speech and stuff. And Pelosi has accepted millions from lobbyists for her support of various left-wing boondoggles, so she is in fact a whore, and if she doesn't want to be called such she should stop accepting millions from lobbyists.

amirite?

Cpt Kirk To You: Most of us who work, get paid to advance the company, or "agenda" as you like to call it. It doesn't make us whores. And in my book, a lobbyist is no different than a campaign manager or advertising executive, or for that matter union official. They are all paid to advance their own agendas or those of their bosses and clients. Getting paid to do a job is how the world works.

Grayson's words, once again, were in poor taste. If these words had been said by a republican, the coverage would be much more negative.

This happened last week? Why are we just hearing about it now? If it were a Republican it would have been flashed across every screen in America, Top story of every news paper. So tell me the American press isn't a little biased toward the Dems right now. At least most are. And the Libs wonder why FOX is the most popular news on t.v.. This is why right here.

Main Entry: ¹whore Pronunciation: \ˈhȯr, ˈhu̇r\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English hore, from Old English hōre; akin to Old Norse hōra whore, hōrr adulterer, Latin carus dear — more at charity Date: before 12th century 1 : a woman who engages in sexual acts for money : prostitute; also : a promiscuous or immoral woman
2 : a male who engages in sexual acts for money
3 : a venal or unscrupulous person

Sounds like EVERY lobbyist and Representative in Washington to me.

attack and denigrate everyone. It is the Progressive way

Wrong, it's the American way. Don't believe it? Just scroll back up and read every post above this one, then scroll down and read the rest. Maybe 1 in 10 isn't a post ripping on one side or the other.

Whatever were the Florida voter who elected this ton of tripe thinking?? Had he never opened his mouth before? Is this just the type of dreck that gets swept in on the coattails of a liberal president? I'm sure Obammy wishes he would shut up.........

I am thinking of moving to his district so I can be represented by someone who has a mind and a backbone. I am represented by republican neanderthals now.

Go Alan Grayson!

When someone tells it like it "REALLY" is they are chided. The "TRUTH" in Washington, what is that all about?? We must not tell the "TRUTH" are you will be scorned by your fellow Country Destroyers that live in Washington.

Look at all these negative remarks on this page??

You Voters that keep putting these Reps and Dems in office, this all is in your hands. Look what you have gotten for your votes.

Stop whinning and start "SMART VOTING" and stop following the Goats to the Slaughter House.

WAKE UP AMERICA

IN GOD WE TRUST.

Richie-416314,

1st amendment right's only apply when LIBS need their point heard and they (ObamaNation & and his merry LIBS) want your voice silenced when your against their BIG Liberal takeover!!!!

GABubba - I doubt Georgia would regret your move one bit.

Let's just say "Dirty" Harry Reid & Nancy "Botox" Peloser are pimps to the "K Street whore's" in Washington!!!!!!!!

So outrageous comments by a Democrat get condemned by the right and defended by the left. Vitriol and name calling by a Republican garners fulminations from the left and political donations from the right. Neither party holds a monopoly on rudeness or disgusting behavior. Representatives such as Grayson or Joe Wilson should be returned to the ranks of the unemployed as soon as the voters get the opportunity.

itoldyouso007 -

He's not a senator and since when has calling someone a whore become an act of integrity. Even he realizes the stupidity of his vernacular.

GABubba -

Your username screams neanderthal.

Procrustes -

Interrupting a speech, though rude, is hardly the same thing as publicly calling a woman a whore. Also, Joe Wilson's outburst was was an incident of passionate opposition to something he felt and with good reason, was a lack of truth on the president's part. I heard Grrayson's comment and it was really just a mean-spirited ad hominem attack on someone who disagrees with him.

GABubba -

I have a better idea. Move to NY instead of Orlando and take Grayson with you. You'll be doing us both a favor.

Shawn,you are spot on!!! The politicians in both parties have become more fixated with personal gains than actually serving their constituents! They now seem to consider themselves elected for life,and vote out down party lines rather than for our countries best interest. Their concern seems to have shifted to control of Americans rather than the well being of its citizens.It seems now everything and everybody has a pricetag on it!

There are Democratic whores and Republican whores. Your preferred political party has nothing to do with being an honest person or not. I sure hope this congressman doesn't have any family members that are republican, because he would be slamming his family. In my family we have dems, repubs, indepens. and ones that just don't give a sh!t and don't vote. I look at them as people (family) with their own opinion that what makes them an individual. Tacky comments such as the ones the congressman spewed just goes to show his immaturity and poor sportsmanship. He should be smarter than that.

Oh and his website that list family members/people that have died because of no health insurance what a joke. How many people have died and had health insurance. My dad, my grandpa, my step-grandpa, my cousin, my aunt, my twin nieces, the list goes on. What's the point? There are two sides to every coin.

Boy, the Republicans can dish it out, but they sure can't take it. They have called Obama every vile name in the book, but they can't stand to be called out on it. When they're own standards of behavior are used against them, they whine and cry and blame the Democrats for everything thats wrong. What a bunch of WATBs.

The same goes for the Democrats. I am neither Republican or Democrat. I vote on the issues and I vote for the person to whom I think will do right by the American citizens. I don't need a political to tell me how to think.

Mybootstrapswerestolen: You took the words right out of my mouth!! Can someone tell me why there is a "top ENRON lobbyist" working with Bernanke???? What a joke!! You can trace the root of all financial evil straight to Enron!!! And sorry, but 99.9% of all K Street Lobbyists are indeed whores, male or female.

Quit whining Ed...

Ed-743399..... you mean the republicans are acting like the democrats were for the last eight years? Imagine that.

Two different subjects here. There is no place for Mr. Greyson's inflammatory rhetoric. I don't think it represents a positive way forward. How does one engage him in a meaningful way to find solutions. Get him out of there and finds someone who wants to fix congress rather than showboat. I don't care what party he's from.

The lobbyist from Enron? Very troubling. Makes no sense to me. But then neither does Larry Summers or Timothy Geithner. Kind of like foxes watching the hen house isn't it? I would think that the people that initiated the financial crisis should be in charge of covering it up... I mean fixing it.

The only reason vermin such as Greyson apologize is because they think their comments may lose them votes at election time.

This clown is typical of most members on congress in that these morons only demonstrated skill is that of getting elected to public office.

Duct tape the pie-hole on the pig-faced bastard and send him packing

Are Alan Grayson and Joe Wilson, Brothers???? We seen this movie before."Dumb and Dumber".

"...growing criticism from across the political spectrum"

This isn't an issue of politics, it's about the degrading manner in which our politicians of all sides speak to each other. Grayson was on "Hardball" a week or so ago, and he kept trying to make lame jokes about Cheney being a vampire. As corrupt as Cheney is, it sounded pre-planned, not funny and sophmoric:

Grayson:" I have a hard time understanding Cheney, with the blood drooling out of his mouth."

*crickets*

"Did he turn into a bat and fly away?"

*more crickets*

I guess Grayson's first months in office have given him the impression that stupid sound bites win campaign contributions. While it's true to an extent, he needs to get back to the issues.

OH... MY... GOD... and Fox news is biased? Seriously thats the headline MSNBC went with!!! How bout the truth of the angst:

‘K Street Whore’ Democrat apologizes for remark

I WONDER HOW HE KNOWS SHE'S A HOE?

He's the Democrat's version of the freaks in the Far-Right.

It's accepted from the Far-Right because they're freaks and no one expects then to act like civilized people; but for anyone else it's very inappropriate.

It is inappropriate for anyone to behave like that Republican or Democrat.

This has nothing to do with being left or right, Republican or Democrat. It has all to do with being an arrogant misogynist who needs a swift kick in the groin and hindquarters.

excaliburgc -

Grayson was corrupt long before he ever got into politics.

He was one of the biggest SHEISTER lawyers we have ever seen here in Orlando. How a COCK ROACH like this ever gets elected to public office is a mystery to me.

Apparently we here in Orlando are trying to compete with Chicago in the "who can elect the most corrupt politician" event.

Come on 2012.......

stspecialk - At last you and I agree on something.

I'm shocked. Shocked at how many posters are so offended by Grayson's tone. Anyone who ever listens to the GOP leaders Limbaugh, Beck, and Hannity should be a little more desensitized by now.

The woman he dissed was the Enron consultant. We agree on the party affiliation, if he was a Republican old Maddow and Olberman would be on him like lint on an old sweater !!

mhrjhn, but mostly Fred: Do you even watch the people you cited? As a point of fact, Maddow HAS said that what Grayson has previously said is hyperbolic and over the top, but no more so than the litany of Repubs in Congress this summer who were telling us that Healthcare Reform is a secret Democratic plot to kill old people, instill death panels, to deny coverage to Repubs, etc. I could go on and on. While Grayson IS hyperbolic and over the top, I find it amusing that Repubs can't seem to take the exact same kind of crap they dish out on a daily basis ... and have been since Reagan. Personally, I wish ALL this would stop so we can actually have serious, TRUTHFUL debates on issues. Both of those things are sorely lacking in BOTH parties these days.

"He was a lobbyist for Enron? The company that cooked the books and stole many peoples retirement money? He has some nerve to question anybody else and has a problem controlling what comes out of his mouth."

The woman he called a "K Street Whore" had been an Enron Lobbyist.

From the article: "Washington's K Street is where many lobbyists have their offices."

So you're saying you agree with his opinion of the woman, just not the words he used to describe her. I agree.

Your darn right on political correctness - it certainly has gone to far as those with canine Americans can attest too. However, this guy seems a tad bit like a publicity hound...

First Amendment Rights aside - can't he communicate his message more effectively than that? Jeez - the man has the brains and mouth of a sophomore in high school - my apologies to all sophomores in high school...

Grayson is doing this on purpose. He is using the exact same tactics used by the Repubs. Just take a look at some of the things our Repubs in Congress have said ON THE FLOOR about Healthcare reform: a secret plot to kill old people, a plot to deny Repubs health insurance, death panels, etc. While I agree that he's over the top, I don't think that it's any worse than what has been said by Repubs about Obama or any other Dem. They should all be sent back to grade school to learn some manners and decorum.

"Grayson is doing this on purpose. He is using the exact same tactics used by the Repubs."

Michelle, I think you're right. He got tired of the Democrats being so nice and polite while the Repubs continued with their name-calling and fear-baiting, so he decided to start his own aggressive behavior.

While I do get annoyed at how quiet and polite the Democrats are, this is simply creating a circus atmosphere. They need to speak more forcefully, but insults and stupid jokes are not the way to do it.

He could be trash talking and carrying a weapon, 1st and 2nd Amendments Rights, and be lauded as a Patriotic American just exercising his Rights!!!! Especially if he were a Republican and a member of the NRA. Don't those gun toting Repubs use pictures of Dems for "target" practice and declare it's their Right??? But, I fully agree that he is an idiot and a publicity hound, but the right has had their share of those recently as well, you guys just call it expressing your Constitutional Rights to be Obnoxious.

Please provide a link. I couldn't find the article on optimum.

I think this is what he/ she meant.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/26/AR2009102603260.html

Though the above comment is a mischaracterization, obviously. The idea is to prevent future bailouts, and there are two main components

The first is similar to the "superfund" the government uses to help clean up environmental disasters.

In a nutshell, businesses "too big to fail" would be required to contribute to a "superfund", which could then be used to save these business. Hence, no more taxpayer bailouts, they could bail themselves out.

Second, the bill would allow a takeover of a failing firm "and dissolve it outside of the bankruptcy process, injecting money if necessary to make the unwinding orderly. Shareholders and creditors of the failing company would incur losses, and the financial industry would foot the bill for any bailout."

Again, the intent is to avoid forcing the taxpayer to foot the bill for future catastrophes. It's similar to the FDIC, which guarantees the money people put in the banks, and nobody's complained about not losing their money to a failed bank yet.

Obama has nothing to do with him except being members of the same party. He (greyson) is a pig, but you are stretching in order to accuse Obama.

Lobbyist for Enron=very, very, very far from innocent woman. But I guess Enron never caused your energey rates to soar.

Enron is going to look like Saints compared to what Obama is going to do to your energy prices with his Cap and Tax program. But to the Story Grayson is just an idiot and needs to be removed from office. But again the Democratic party isn't going to do anything to him. He must of needed some attention because he is being overlooked as a second rate politician that he is and needed to get his name back into the press. This is all free advertisement for him now people are talking again and the more crap he catches from the right will cause the left to come to his support. We need to get over this left and right crap and get back to putting this country to work again and worry about all these entitlement later

Nice one poop eye

Ha! " Poop-eye the sailor-guy" LMAO!!!!

YUK!!!! Wait, thats not spinich!! its POOP!!! Word to the wise..."Beware of Democrats bearing gifts", LMAO again..I crack myself up sometimes

no for once again opening his yap with no regard to civility, just for starters...

I think he hit the nail on the head. America has become nothing but a nation of whores...everyone is for sale....He was not being derogatory towards women...she just happens to be a woman...maybe next time he will mention one of the many male whores.

I hate it when Democrats apologize for being honest. All he had to say was "Well, prove me wrong.".

Kim, do you get paid for the job that you do? If so, then I guess you are for sale as well.

1st off that 45 million figure is now down to 15 or 20 million the rest were`nt our fellow citizens they are illegals that now arent counted because it has been exposed.2nd the news media hasnt came out with the fact that obama`s boy`s are holding 350 billion in funds to hide the cost of the health care bill& not telling us that heart valves , stints pace makers, hip replacements,etc will be taxed to help cover the reform cost(passed on to us in medical bills) & to the artical graysen needs to control his big mouth!

Apologize ? For what ? Calling a "spade" a "spade" ?

That's funny! If I or a Republican congressman/woman called the President an incompetent dip sh!t you all would be on me or them like stink on sh!t.

He was only speaking the truth. Republicans don't give a rat's a$$ about anything/anyone but themselves.

Ask a Republican they'll say the same about a democrat.

It's not about the "D" or the "R" it's about we the people. We are the ones that have to suffer from all of the dip sh!ts poor decisions Republican and Democrat. They have us right where they want us, not working together as a whole.

I kind of wish that the people "running" this country would grow some grapes already. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

All of these "I'm saying I'm sorry cause that is what I should do" insincere apologies are getting old.

Robertson is a K Street Whore. It’s an analogy and I get it. Well actually after looking in the dictionary I believe that Robertson falls under the category of whore. Men and women both can fall under this definition. The only sexism Grayson is engaged in is giving an apology to women for something that was honest and correct. Most Lobbyists are whores. Why is it insulting to Women for Grayson to use that term? I’m a woman and I’m not insulted. I am upset over the tears of one man who couldn’t get the health care to save his life and thus help his family. I am upset over all the hands of the dying I’ve held while some Senator is getting a treat and money from Lobbyist for killing them. I am upset over the loss of oversight of the financial sector that allowed lobbyist to favor their way into the legalization of loan sharking and other financial crimes against the people. Remember the government of the people, by the people and for the people? I am haunted by the faces of the dead.

Thank you.

Please present some evidence that she has whored herself on K-Street.

It is a topsy turvy world when people can defend Grayson's idiocy. This isn't a Dem/Rep thing, this is honor and ethics. Grayson has none.

This does not support the recipient of the comments, but he could have just made his point, and all would have been in agreement. He did this on purpose.

it`s one thing to speak ,it`s another to be so disrespectfull!

O' Bammy is a damn lier, but when it was told to him, boy you " I want it both way" liberal nut jobs had a little fit.

craigf so she is a whore because she's a lobbyist? well what does that make the people she is buying? innocent victims? no, they're called congress. hypocrites!!!!!! so should we now call nancy (john)?

There is another K St WHORE

Why the hell would NOW do anything for Sarah Palin? She stands in total, complete diametric opposition to everything NOW is.

so NOW is only for libral wemen?

lantry: No, NOW is for all women's rights ... and Palin is setting back women's rights about 30 years. So why would NOW support this sad excuse of a politician?

Actually some are!

Could you possibly be implying that is the reason we have this administration and congress?

Charles: The same place that the Repubs "brains" are. Or have you forgotten the accusations from the House and Senate floors by Repubs that the healthcare reform is a plot to kill old people, to instill "death panels," or that it's all an elaborate plot to prevent Repubs from getting healthcare? This kind of hyperbole has been going on all summer long, predominately from the Repubs. Grayson is just using their tactics against them now. However, this is not a Dems vs. Repubs issue. It's an AMERICAN issue. We as a country are so used to the divisions that our politicians have created that we can't look past them and discuss things rationally and truthfully (I have to admit that I'm guilty of it myself at times). THAT is Grayson's point, and has been since the "Die Quickly" comment. He's over the top, but he's doing it to prove a point.

Michelle: Republicans never said "healthcare reform is a plot to kill old people, by death panels." What was said was " Obama's healthcare plan would create death panels." This is a far crie from your statement and the one made by Grayson, the rest of my so called blog is history. FYI read Dr. Ezekie Emanual's writings on healthcare in this country.

Like I said Grayson has a problem with his brain. Ms. Linda Robertson was appointed by Obama to the Fed to assist Bernanki. Grayson, on hearing Ms. Robertson's position on the Fed became enraged because he felt she was not qualfied for the job. On a syndicated talk show on about October 29, 2009 he Grayson stated that " Linda Robertson is nothing but a "K" street WHORE," all because he disagreed with her appointment. No one can justify Grayson's mouth no matter what the philosophical diferences between your Political Party and mine are.

your right, i watch all the new`s stations and if it were`nt for fox we would not get the other side of the story!

If you didn't jump on the partisan bandwagon and attack the Republicans/GOP, your post may have had some merit to me, but alas, you are doing exactly what you protest others of doing.

Calling anyone a "K street whore" is not accurate, unless they are actually selling their services on K street. The implication of what he was saying was NOT in the context you are trying to make. If he just used the word whore, then perhaps you may have gotten away with it. Graysons comments were intentionally and deliberately designed to be insulting and derogatory.

BTW, have you ever heard of AIDS? Prostitution is one of the largest contributors to the spreading of AIDS. That disease is deadly, so it very often gets people killed.

So bottom line, IMHO, your logic fails.

Nancy Pelosi = whore.

Right? If you can define "whore" as someone who provides any service for money, not just sex, then Nancy Pelosi is a whore. She has accepted millions in campaign contributions, sweetheart investment deals and who really knows what all else in exchange for her support of a liberal agenda.

Harry Reid is a whore. So is Max Baucus, John McCain, Chris Dodd, Joe Liberman, Obama, both Clintons, Gore... I'll carry on if you want, but I think you get the point.

My point is, the whore Nancy Pelosi got all teary eyed about the level of rhetoric in this country on the part of the "astroturf" "un-American" conservatives, then one of her minions calls someone a "K-street whore" and she remains silent. Is the contradiction not apparent yet?

Whether it's all manufactured or not, it's beneath the dignity of public office to stoop to name calling - by either side. Plenty of people do it on these vines, in the anonymity of the internet, and it's bad enough but what else is to be expected when discourse of this type is tolerated by so many of you from the elected officials?

You guys read my post and heard nothing.

The point is the US government is for sale. The aparachiks of that government are for sale on K street to the highest bidder -- and the paltry $125,000 or more plus free health insurance they receive from the taxpayers does not buy the same influence as the lobbyists receive.

What planet are are you from wtfwws? What in god's name does prostitution and AIDS have to do with any of this?

That's just my point!!!! This has nothing to do with ad-hominem attacks or whores or insults or apologies or outrage.

This whole line of useless, meaningless discussion is promoted by those that DO NOT WANT TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES.

Same as the relationship with whores -- except in the case of sexual liaisons people rarely get killed.

Nothing, but you brought it up. Maybe you should read your own post. I'm just responding to your comments. And I'm from planet Earth, have you heard of it :)

You fail to realize that you have strayed way off the issue yourself, and rant and rave about things, but no one else seems to be allowed to. You just don't agree with my opinions in contrast to yours, and that seems to tick you off. That's not my concern.

And no I didn't hear anything from your post. I put my ear very close to the screen, and still nothing. Perhaps you should type louder.

Anything else I can help you with ?

Apologizing.....Obama has apologized to other nations on behalf of the USA. Why hasn't Obama apologized to the citizens of the USA for the poor behavior and comments made by our government officials Democrat and Republican. I think we are owed an apology for their immaturity and disrespect. WE should be #1 on his list!

Imagine if you remove the D or R from the man's name and you saw him on TV for the first time. What would you think of the guy? Doesn't he look and talk like Goober on Andy Griffith?

Yeah and you'd be taking money from those people wouldn't you, since that's what selfish self-centerd people do, right? Oh, that's right, "If it's not me, it will be someone taking the money, so why not me?" Isn't that the "Golden Rule" of psychopathetics--to do unto others so long as it aint done unto me?

I can't wait until people like you get sick with Cancer, and your Insurer denies you treatment--I will relish that day of listening to you beg for mercy as the disease eats you alive and the pain is so horrific you cannot make a sound for it's so disabilitating you cannot do a thing but beg God for mercy--he will show you NONE for you will reap what you sow.

Good luck Honey.

And you call yourself a philosopher? You're nothing more or better what that brain dead congressman called the woman, except, you're one for Obama.

You "relish" in someones possible illness?!? How sick are you????

I'm a cancer survivor and I have been treated with everything and all my Oncologist recommended and am a testament to a system that works and that Obama's health care disaster is not needed.

You, on the other hand, have to be the most disgusting and vile excuse for a human being I've come across in a long time. You don't need health care, you need a Psychiatrist, one who specializes in treating psychopaths.

phil - shut up.

Anne - best wishes for continued health.  I wanted to burn his butt so bad.  Can't top your post.

Goober from Andy Griffith?

Have you even listened to Alan Grayson? Maybe Faux News only has the edited clips containing the parts the mindless hosts can giggle and laugh at.

1Philosopher

I can't wait until people like you get sick with Cancer, and your Insurer denies you treatment--I will relish that day of listening to you beg for mercy as the disease eats you alive and the pain is so horrific you cannot make a sound for it's so debilitating you cannot do a thing but beg God for mercy--he will show you NONE for you will reap what you sow.

YOU ARE A PHUCKER! My dad died of cancer. He did not deserve it. He had stage 4 lung cancer when he was diagnosed. He was NOT a smoker! He had insurance, good insurance. My mom owed $11000.00 when all was said and done. I watched my dad for two years suffer. He suffered from the chemo treatments, he suffered from the cancer taking his body. I helped my mother for two years take care of my father and I worked a full time job. I was there the day my father passed away. He was able to die at home with my mom and I by his side. My dad was a good honest hard working man that did no harm to anyone and guess what?.... he was neither a "D" or and "R" he like me voted on the issue and who he thought would do right by us the citizens of the USA. I hope you never have to watch someone you love suffer like I watched my father suffer. I asked him if he could feel himself dying and guess what?... he could. Your comment was a horrible one and I would like to think that you are a horrible person, but you're probably not.

I don't understand why people stand up for these politicians Democrat and Republican. They aren't personal friends they don't give a sh!t about you or I they only care about themselves, their money and getting re-elected. We the American people are the butt of their jokes.

So you want this guy to resign because of this statement? But you guys defend Mark Sanford and Palin's death panel statements. What a putts. I have read posts by right wingers on NV saying they would rather people die because they can't afford health insurance than to have to pay for someone else’s health care. So I don't see what Grayson said as a lie.

The word is "putz". It's a Yiddish word that means fool, or vulgarly, penis.

It appears many of you left wingnut haters are very sexually repressed.

Or, just crude and unmannered. You're turning American's off, by the million so you just keep going with that.

Lefties, sexually repressed? I think you have that backwards. Right wing religious fakes are the sexually repressed. Well, except Sanford of course. Left wingers just don't play holy on Sundays, professing to be one thing while toe tapping in the rest room the other six days. I think anyone with half a brain knows who the haters are.

Yup, just keep going.

Moonbats - ya gotta love 'em........

gill, do you have to call names to make a point? It really takes away from your point. I see things like that and I start thinking that no matter what you say I don't want to read anymore.

BOB_101...who did gill call names? I read his post and he didn't call anybody names.

But you guys defend Mark Sanford and Palin's death panel statements.

Where did I defend anyone? Oh, you just made that up, I see.

I clearly state in my posts that this isn't a Dem or Rep issue. But some just keep wanting to play the partisan issue. I was speaking to this one particular incident. Defend your side, attack the other for doing the same thing. You may want to re-read my post, or read it for the first time, don't stop at the first sentence!

PS: DeJay, calling people putz (although he can't spell) and fake are name calling and insults. Maybe not by "progressive" standards though. :)

Hey Prag, you are so right, they are the GOP's best advertising. I am not a liberal, but I usually voted Democrat because the right was too extreme. The left has made them look mild now. So gillinator, 1Philosopher, etc, keep going, you are showing so many people what the far left is really about.

Grayson is not a senator. He is a representative.

And Joe Wilson spoke the truth too and I respect him for that!

Grayson's just an idiot who'll be out of a job soon.

1philosopher, so by your logic all the dems are scum because they take in huge bucks from Big Labor and Big Pharm. All the whores in D.C. do it. Reps and Dems alike.

You should know that current government run healthcare (medicaid & medicare) denied more than 10 times the number of denials of ALL other private insurers combined....

You should also know that REPRESENTATIVE Grayson has taken more than his share of lobbyist support - especailly from ACORN
&" SEUI

Facts, rather than insults, profanity and emotional, irrational rants are more condusive to an intelligent debate...

Why the phuck do any of you defend these congress people left or right. As I stated they aren't your personal friends they really don't care about you, if you have food, can pay your bills or even if you have a job they just keep on taking from us. I don't see any of them taking pay cuts or cutting back on things. Life is still the same for them. How many of them are getting collection notices because they can't pay their bills or having their car repo'd or their house in foreclosure. How many of them are feeding their families Top Ramen for dinner or not turning on their heat and you want to stick up for them protect them and their way of life when a lot of the American citizens lives are in the sh!t hole. I find this hard to believe!

Traficant, the mob whore?

I doubt you'll be proven correct.

Yes, especially when the liberal left does so very little of that.

He should be commended.

You're aware ACORN probably got him elected? You're aware that FL is one of the states where ACORN is accused of voter fraud?

Just checkin.

OK so prove your accusations. I know right wingers like to go off on crazy accusations they can't prove so let’s see your evidence that he was elected by voter fraud.

Now how would he know she was a Whore unless he used her services??? Which would make him???

gillanator- She said "probably", and her evidence would be the ongoing investigation for vote fraud perpetrated by FL ACORN.

Probably = likely = no "proof" necessary

Comprehension, comprehension.

Well, lets see, which part to you dispute?

That ACORN is being investigated in FL for voter registration?

That some of the fraud for which ACORN is being investigated in FL occured in the county from which Grayson is a newly elected rep, Orange?

Connect the dots. The investigations in Florida aren't finished yet, Grayson was elected in a county where fraud was allegedly perpetrated, and he is a vocal supporter of ACORN.

I'm am absolutely willing to consider the very real possibility that ACORN helped Grayson get elected, with no voter fraud involved, in which case I have no objection what so ever. Orange county seems to swing, and his 52% victory in the election wasn't really a landslide, was it?

Given that Gov. Pawlenty is calling for a review of voter registrations in MN that may or may not have led to Franken winning by a handful of votes, given that 14 states are investigating ACORN for voter fraud - and most of this was occuring prior to the video debacle - if I lived in Orlando? I would want it investigated.

One thing I will say, is that in the course of researching those links I was reminded of one thing I actually applaud Grayson for, and that is demanding the the defense contractor Halliburton be held to the SAME standard as ACORN in regards to taxpayer funding.

In other words, Halliburton should be defunded, and while I might disagree with everything else that comes out of the man's mouth, I agree with that and agree with him, that the hypocrisy being displayed by the GOP on this issue is laughable.

It is possible, just so you know, to find someone's conduct reprehensible in one situation, find their conduct laudable in another, and all the while see the bigger picture.

Now how would he know she was a Whore unless he used her services???

I think he was talking about how she will sell her services to anyone who is willing to pay her price. Even though "whore" is most commonly used to refer to being sexually promiscuous. It also can mean to compromise one's principles for personal gain. Which I would imagine would be the context it was used in.

Pork - You're right. (If you're splitting hairs) Technically Prag covered her backside. But I responded to the implication. Which was much stronger than her indicating it was a possibility and not a fact. Just read her statement. It isn't comprehension it is seeing the obvious.

Gill, and I was referring to his acceptance of Lobbyist money. Which in turn would make him not just a whore but a hypocrite also.

Bob - I would agree with that. I think it would be a good idea to keep lobbyist on a leash at the very least.

Gill, indeed, they should be banned from D.C. At the least they should be banned from giving cash/presents to "our" representatives. That just might honest up a whole bunch of scum in D.C.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case.

You ass.

Grayson wasn't calling her a whore for sex, but a whore for raping the American people out of their savings and hard earned money. Enron. Remember it?

What are you today?

Still a fifteen year old eighth grader?

John,

Since liberals like you feel the oil companies, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies are raping the American people out of their savings and hard earned money, it is OK in your view to refer to any woman who works for these companies as "whores". And if your wife works for a bank, then you have no problem with me calling her a whore. You seem to have little respect for women. Do you beat your wife, John?
