I'll Miss Alan Grayson in Congress

But I imagine I'll be seeing clips of him occasionally on the internet (not that the news networks would allow a real liberal on television):



They want tax cuts for the rich because they want a tax cut for themselves. What do I mean by that? Let’s take a look at the people who are really in charge, the ones who actually run the Republican party.

Let’s start with this gentleman here, the man with the cigar, Rush Limbaugh. Doesn’t he look happy? According according to Newsweek, he makes $58.7 million a year, and extending the tax cuts means he’ll have another $2.7 million. Mega dittos, Rush, and mega money. Let’s look at the next one.

Here’s Glenn Beck, according to Newsweek Glenn Beck makes $33 million a year as a pundit and extending the Bush Tax Cuts means a cool $1.5 million for Glenn bBeck’s ongoing imitation of Howard Beale from Network. Now let’s look at the next one.

Sean Hannity. Newsweek says that Sean Hannity, this man of the people makes $22 million a year from his act on Fox. And that means the Bush Tax cuts mean an extra $1 million. $1 million for Sean Hannity. Maybe he can afford some anger management classes...

The man does have a soul.
I'd vote for him in a heartbeat if he moved to my state.
Floridas loss for sure.

Good on Grayson, but he should have taken it further and made it more personal for folks... in addition to Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity he should have included the amount of money each of his colleagues in the house and senate will reap as a result of their support of these tax cuts for the rich.

the truth hurts. sheeple do not like the truth when truthiness is cozy.

Grayson needs to lead his own insurrection against the money fueled forces of privilege, greed, racism, and unlimited control of the democratic process.
Where can I enlist?
