Republicans = "No-mongers"

* U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is in the news again for some recent comments.
The Hill:

The now-infamous Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) unleashed another verbal tirade against Republicans on Thursday, calling the party a "lie factory" that hoped only to stall the healthcare debate.....

...."America is sick of you, Republican Party; you're a lie factory, that's all you do," he told MSNBC on Thursday. "Why don't you work together with the Democrats to solve America's problems instead of making stuff up?"

Grayson then called the party a bunch of "no-mongers," and he chided GOP lawmakers for failing to come up with their own healthcare plan in the 48 hours since he first attacked their strategy.....

I like that term "no-mongers" and plan to use it to describe the GOP.



* What kind of credibility does Sen. George Voinovich have with regard to any legislation on clean air and clean water? Why has Voinovich continued to be a "no-monger" as far as protecting our environment? Voinovich has made it a career of opposing a host of legislation to protect the environment. As a matter of fact, in April 2000, Voinovich was awarded "Clean Air Villain of the Month" by the Clean Air Trust.

In December 2003, Voinovich was given a score of 11% by the League of Conservation Voters for his work on behalf of environmental issues.

Hopefully, the person who is elected to take his seat will be on the side of clean air and protecting the environment.
