      Bernie Sanders deserves Nobel Prize!He’s the one that’s been consistent n his beliefs!Why the heck did NP committee ever give it to Obama when he’s still n Afghan? I wonder what J. Carter thinks about his “deal”;I wish we can put him back n the white house!Of all the presidents-Reagan;Bush1,2;Clinton;Obama-Jimmie Carter is most genuine;he really cared!Bernie Sanders isn’t spring chicken;how can this Demo Pres make such a bad move to make this good guy stand for 8.5 hours risking bad health!

      RED ALERT:President throws Congressional Democrats under the BUS! ADVISORY:If u vote for this “deal”,if u r up for re-election n 2012,u cannot blame Repubs or make the claim Bush tax cuts r hurting the economy,adding to deficit/debt,or hurting generations to come because by ur vote u r endorsing the “deal” and Bush policies so don’t expect voters to vote for u! MOTIVE:President wants second term, looking only after himself; knows not the concept of “earned”. END RESULT: Congress/Pres turns RED!

      @restlys … uh huh…. Yeah liberals will decide for all of us on everything. Your liberal wet dream continues…. LOL

      @aSingleDallasGuy no, your stupid

      and im obviously right here….so just turn off your computer while smart people take the decisions…we’ll tell you how you should live your life when were done

    7. Comment by aSingleDallasGuy on 23 December 2010:

      @restlys … Well you clearly are intellectually challenged so I guess even reading “Mary Had a Little Lamb” would be considered an intellectual execise for an intellectual lightweight like you. No one refers to something they disagree with as an intellectual exercise. Case closed. Liberals and socialists are not very bright. Otherwise the’d be neither.

      @aSingleDallasGuy LOL few words LOL then another few words LOL maybe an obsenity or two LOL

      I said reading him as an intellectual exercise….do you even know what an intellectual exercise means?

      Listen, im claiming your an idiot..and you respond by being….an idiot? Brilliant !

    9. Comment by aSingleDallasGuy on 23 December 2010:

      @restlys . LOL, lets see here. You have the hotts for Grayson and you think Marx was a brilliant thinker? Yeah, I’ll put you down as a total loss cause. No amount of evidence or history will get in your way to your utopian wet dream of working in the rice fields and singing Kumbaya with your fellow peasants. Why dream of great things when you are so willing to be a miserable snot nosed punk your entire life? Yes, your govt will own you and tell you when, where and how you will do everything. LOL

      @bgrant64 Well I’m not from Florida, but I know a complete left-wing socialist IDIOT when I see one!!! I wish Grayson would eat his own words and …..”DIE QUICKLY!”.

    11. Comment by bgrant64 on 23 December 2010:

      @nextdrink45 He does keep most of his money!!! Most of his money got moved offshore!! Oh that is right that money was supposedly lost in the market downturn and he is trying to get “his money back” uh huh getting money back that he moved overseas. Rigghtt! You hit the nail on the head. He is a MORON and I am so glad the people of central Florida voted his idiotic rear end out of office. Good Bye and good riddance Grayson!!!!!!! Your an embarrassment to the people of Florida and this nation.

      Why do unemployment benefits have to b part of a “package deal”. This is money we all pay into! Man, if there were a true progressive party w/labor, I’d know where to go…I’d jump ship dive right in…I’d change party in a flash…u’d see a red shift on my back!!

    13. Comment by 1rendezvous on 23 December 2010:

      W/this deal, if u make btween 20-40K/year ur taxes go up…that’s what’s circulating in news…haven’t seen it in print cause the “deal” specs no where to b found! And $ to pay for those tax cuts will be borrowed from chinese, UK, middle east…so “our money” isn’t really “our money”. If the Treasury was in the black, then u can say it was “our money”. Basically, these r tax cuts for that 1-2% on the backs of middleclass workers as usual!

      Imagine if FDR compromised w/Hitler:Ok Hitler u can have Europe but at least don’t gas Jews waterboard them or ok japs u can have Pearl Harbor just don’t come on mainland!My filthy rich paymasters please take on this joyous season ur present:tax cuts that Bush one u really like actually meant to have expired at end of year but I’ll extend them for u so now u can like me cause I need to b loved cause I have identity crisis so I want to b like BClinton!It’s ok we borrow from commies to pay 4them!

      @aSingleDallasGuy See what I mean? Your making an idiotic argument by association

      Plus, as a thought exercise, you should read Karl Marx – he was a revolutionary thinker of his time. Stalin? Who gives a shit about him really

    16. Comment by nextdrink45 on 24 December 2010:

      Hey Grayson…..you MORON!!!!! What’s wrong with people wanting to keep THEIR money??????????

      I’m lucky if I make $50k per year and I sure the hell don’t want to give it to you morons in government!!!!!!! All of you DemoCRAPS want to do is STEAL more of our money in the way of TAXES!!!!!!!

      Besides, what’s wrong with being successful in this country???? I’m sure you make a good dime sitting on your ass in our nations capitol!!!!! Don’t you want to keep more of YOUR money??

      Imagine if Gandhi compromised: ok Britain you can rule over us just allow us to have our Diwali festivites ok! Really, give tax cuts to the likes of nutty Limparse, looney Beck who once swallowed his tongue,small forehead no brain Hannity,O’Shity, ShitBlossom.Talk about endorsing Bush philosophy of taxcuts,wars-afghanistan, gitmo-still open,what else there’s more!If I were black,I’d b ashamed-I’d want to change my skin color! I guess that’s what we get when we vote for a Senator for president!

    18. Comment by 1rendezvous on 24 December 2010:

      America needs more people like Mr.Grayson. All those old retirees in FL can fluck off; I don’t understand why they vote republican knowing they cut thr ss and medicare! Politicians shouldn’t think that voters will vote for them because they’r of a certain color or sex! It’s all about principles and standing up for what u believe. Imagine if this president was abraham lincoln; we’d still have slavery-he’d compromise: ok South you can have slavery so long u keep making underwear w/ur cotton!

      @demmmmm1 Where in the hell did you get that 23 million number under Clinton, in your own mind, lol? Do? do remember that last year obama and his economic team negotiated a new GM plant to be built next year that will employ almost 1000 people and 120 to build the plant. However the plant is to be built in Mexico and will employ almost 1120 Mexican workers, NOT AMERICANS. Who exactly do you want to blame for this one, Bush…LOL!

    20. Comment by dantheleo on 24 December 2010:

      Thanks to all the central Florida voters for retiring this psychopath! Grayson only has a few more chances in the spotlight until he fades into obscurity.

    21. Comment by 1rendezvous on 24 December 2010:

      Yeah, I’ll switch parties & jump ship if there’s a progressive candidate. In a FLASH I’d jump and not look back!

    22. Comment by 1rendezvous on 24 December 2010:

      I think it’s time that people stop “defending” this president when Foxx or someone says things about him true or not because I we don’t even know who we voted for! He can defend himself; he’s grown man! I don’t even want to hear his long speeches or long explanations anymore! I’m not even going to tune in to StateoftheUnion!Really, ever heard the word “brevity”! With him at the helm, I’d much rather have a Republ for president w/a dominant Democrat congress! We need progressive party ASAP!

    23. Comment by 1rendezvous on 24 December 2010:

      Fact is:Clinton Democrats outsourced manuf jobs to commies=ZERO jobs for Americans!Basically,Democratic party has to b dismantled!U can thank Obama for that w/his tax “deal”!U see w/Republicans we know what to expect:nothing just wars, schemes,taxcuts for rich,corruption…but Democrats r the worst.Here’s why:they tell us what they’r going to do for us,filling us w/great hope&optimism after we’v been kicked by Republicans so we GIVE them our vote,they TAKE it & then act like Repubs. They use us!

    24. Comment by demmmmm1 on 24 December 2010:

      @MrSTANDFORAMERICA Clinton created 23million new jobs. GW created none. The trouble we’re in today is the result of years of Republican control, deregulation, tax cuts for the rich, unfunded wars, prescription drug program, etc. all leading up to the bursting of the bubble.

      We all notice AFTER bad things happen when we deal with the result. Like some may credit Repubs for the recovery that’s underway in a couple years, although they have & will have done nothing to stimulate the econ. Nada.

    25. Comment by demmmmm1 on 24 December 2010:

      Jobs are not going overseas because we over regulate. More jobs left the U.S. when GW deregulated everything he could. Taxes don’t play that huge a role, either. Jobs go overseas because they CAN. The greediest of corporations have no allegiance to the U.S. Just the dollar, like Republicans. There are many businesses here who don’t have any overseas “operations,” and do just fine.

      It’s all greed.

      Y’all want jobs in America, BUY AMERICAN-MADE PRODUCTS. It’s that simple.
