“That’s what I meant when I said that the Republican plan is don’t get sick. And if you do get sick, die quickly.”
Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

25. And people that are right... |
|
like him and DK, routinely get marginalized. Oh well, now that the pukes redistricted Ohio, they probably won't have DK to kick around either.

8. Rep. Jimmy Duncan, R-Tennessee response to Grayson |
|
"That is about the most mean-spirited partisan statement that I’ve ever heard made on this floor, and I, for one, don’t appreciate it.”

11. I remember the DU wars over his statements. Now look who was wrong. |
|
So proud of having voted for him twice and completely disgusted with the DNC retreating from the district fight and leaving him to fight it on it's own.

27. Too many people in our party... |
|
back down far too easily. This used to be the party that labor built- people who weren't scared of a scuffle. The DNC is full of a bunch of lily-livered yes men and women.

I remember as well. And it made me sick. The same ilk were demanding that Anthony Weiner resign. That worked out well too.

6. They seem to think only dems and poor get sick. There are a hell of a lot of |
|
poor republicans that will die too. Many of the R's don't engage their brains at all, well, what little they have.

7. Millionaire repugs rely on their followers thinking they are just as "self-sufficient" as they are. |
|
They try to make it sound wimpy and weak to admit that you need a safety net.

9. It's unbelievable. They literally convince their serfs to vote in their |
|
worst possible interests. It's truly an American phenomena, I'm gonna vote for that which will screw me the most. Unbelievable.

13. They compared Grayson's rhetoric to "death panels, etc." Difference was he spoke the truth. |

Republicans are fundamentally bad people.
There is no negotiating with these cruel, uncaring, bigoted, thieves and faux patriot war monger chicken hawk religious fanatics.

18. Incidentally, he is running for Congress again. If you can help out |
|
and you think he had it right about the Repuke health care "plan", enough to rec this thread, you may want to give him a donation too.

28. If I am ever driving with an older friend of mine... |
|
and tell him to go straight, he says "Never". (Oh, and straight to him means straight in the 60's sense, not orientation).

23. It's possible that these clowns |
|
damaged the GOP with this. I would like to think that most Americans would react with, "I don't have an easy solution, but it's definitely not that one."
