Stewart Destroys Dems For Not Getting Public Option Passed (VIDEO)

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.): "America is sick of you, Republican Party; you're a lie factory," he told MSNBC on Thurs. "The people who should be apologizing are the Republicans for dragging us all through the mud...."

Rep. Alan Grayson May Just Fuck Your Shit Up: Too rich to be bought off, Grayson's been fucking with the powerful for a few years now. As an attorney, he represented whistleblowers, going after the hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud committed by contractors and others in Iraq. MUCH MORE!

Prior to the 1914 Harrison Narcotic Act, 3%-5% of the US population were addicts. In 1969 President Nixon coined the term "war on drugs." 3%-5% of the US population were addicts. Today, October 1, 2009, 3%-5% of the US population are addicts.

This is where you can donate money to the Alan Grayson for 2010 campaign - the congressman with balls big enough to stand up to the health care reform obstructionists ("the Republican health care plan is for you not to get sick - and, if you do, die quickly"). Spread the word, this guy rocks
