Maybe if the Dems played a little nicer and quit throwing out slurs like Grayson they might have gotten a bit farther on the health care.

"Fox News and their Republican collaborators are the enemy of America," Grayson told MSNBC's Ed Schultz on Wednesday. "They're the enemy of anybody who cares about health care in this country, the enemy of anybody who cares about educating their children, the enemy of anybody who wants energy independence or anything good for this country. And certainly the enemy of peace, there's no doubt about that. THEY ARE the ENEMY." (My emphasis.)

Rep Grayson can say all the slurs he wants about the Republican party, but the voters spoke loud and clear in NJ and VA.

All one has to do is look at who NJ and VA picked at their new governors.

Hmmmm VA even picked Republicans as the Lt Governor and Attorney General. Guess NJ and VA thought Grayson's words were a bunch of crap too, not to mention the words of Obama as he campaigned for the Democrats running in NJ and VA. Biden didn't fair too well in his campaigning efforts in NJ either.

Congress person Grayson is just what we need.

Saying Grayson is just telling it like it is like saying Glen Beck is just telling it like it is...........According to Grayson Republicans are the alleged enemies of America .....According to Beck Obama and his followers are.....It is interesting to note that at least Beck attempts a little research before making such statements Grayson just offers his worthless opinion.....So the answer is for the Government to forcibly take from those that have to give to those who don't, gotta love the Robin Hood mentality....

Kind of scary times when the Left is labeling the other side as enemies of the State as radical as Obama is proving to be I am sure you will all Embrace the New World Order and King Obama......

Whats really scary is the lenghts that Grayson, the WH, and the elected Democrats have been going through to try and muzzle anything that says anything against them.

Thankfully many are waking and realinze that if we let the left run free as they are trying there will be an enemies list longer than McCarthy had in the 50s.

Frankly I expect a little more decorum from public officials. I would also expect some better judgment. Aliening the other party so completely, precludes working together.
Apparently he has forgotten that the American people have voted for their representation. Their point of view should not be shut out because of Grayson's ideology.
I would expect all members of the Congress to have a working relationship with their peers whether or not they agree or disagree, because it in the best interests of the American people.

Looking at the big picture of Obama's performance, two distinct patterns of missteps emerge. While neither involves serious constitutional issues, they spell trouble and help explain the fierce opposition to many of his signature policies even as he remains personally popular.
The first pattern shows his tendency to overuse the White House bully pulpit and cross the line of accepted behavior by employing his office and aides to demonize dissenters. His attacks on insurers, the US Chamber of Commerce, Fox News, tea-party protesters, even individuals all reveal an intolerance of criticism that falls outside the mainstream of American political tradition.
Clearly, the administration hasn't found its place in the pecking order, with the most shocking evidence coming from Valerie Jarrett, Obama's alter ego in the White House. She defended the attacks on Fox as showing how "we're going to speak truth to power."
The idea is laughable, but revealing that Team Obama still sees itself as an outsider and spouts counterculture nonsense. If Fox or any other critic attains more power than the president in the court of public opinion, it's because a weak president let it happen. Even worse, his trying to overcome the weakness by undermining critics only shrinks the presidency, as Richard Nixon taught us. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/wobbly_prez_power_trips_himself_sg3AYbmlsg69ghYoozlj4O

Grayson only wants to work with Democrats who AGREE with him. That position is reprehensible and he is doing the people in his district no favors.

If for example, when then Republicans pick up some seats, they may reject Graysons requests out of hand because of his continuous bashing.

Some partisans can justify anything and this thread unfortunately is a good example of that.

So now you expect a little more decorum, where were your expectations when Senator Joe Wilson yelled "you lie" at the President? I think Congressman Grayson has a perfect attitude, the democrats have been on the defence long enough it's time to take the offence. As far as the people in his district they will decide for them selves what they like and dislike

And you in particular and many of your side already stated how gays deserve unequal treatment,this country has alot of gay citizens

So the answer is for the Government to forcibly take from those that have to give to those who don't, gotta love the Robin Hood mentality....

You read my mind, I love this answer!! It's all about sharing the wealth. Total BS. People work hard to become doctors, lawyers, etc, to create a better life for themselves and their family, not for Begging Betty and her ten kids. It's all about turning someone else's problem into yours.

Now how do you feel about Grayson?

You're right, enough is enough. It's ok to voice your opinion of an issue, but you must be able to control what comes out of your mouth. He messed up, because insulting people is not going to gain their support. Republicans do believe in lending a helping hand. Lending is the key word here. Grayson makes it seem as though all Republicans are selfish, and that is not true...completely idiotic.

Insulting constituents is going to be most of the reason that the Democratic party is going to be in big trouble come 2010.

What happened at the Town Halls this summer still weights heavily on many voters minds and will more than likely be a big issue come 2010 elections.

Hey both parties have their problems, but at least calling constituents names is not one of the Republicans big problems right now.

As seen by the flack with the Town Hall Meetings it seems that at least most of the Republicans are at least trying to look like they are listening to and acting on what their constituents are saying.

The Democrats on the other hand seemed get worse in that area of name calling and listening.

Even one Democrat said he didn't care what his constituents wanted he was voting the way he wanted to.

It's funny how anyone who has something is an enemy of America. Seeing how there are more that have, than those who don't. They are the majority so they are America!! So they're enemies of themselves??? Without them, there would be no America.

The have-nots, that small percentage, are moreso the enemies, they're like leaches who want to suck the system dry. And why not...if you're going to allow it?

Its not all republicans and conservatives its the ones like you that spell out in detail your core feelings and we all see its hate and inequality of our fellow man,its all about the have and have nots,its as if you think the have nots are all there because of the same reason.I can tell you over these last couple 3 years as so many lost there professions,they are the have nots too.Your argument make you sound like an awfrul person.

A nationalized healthcare system is not the answer..I will never support that. In Grayson's eyes I am an enemy of America, simply because I have a different perspective..but oh well.. I know I'm not. He should really learn the difference between constructive and destructive criticism.
