Double standards...

why is it that we aren't seeing the same uproar from the media with Alan Grayson's "speech."

1.) Grayson didn't interrupt anyone or disrupt the proceedings. He followed House protocol and spoke when he actually had the floor, unlike Wilson, who both interrupted the president, spoke out of turn, and caused a disruption.

2.) Grayson is actually right (whereas Wilson was wrong in his remark¹). There is no Republican plan before the either house that I'm aware of. Republicans are fighting reform tooth and nail but have yet to bring anything to the table but resistance².

Next week I'm going to send $25 to Grayson's PAC.

Edit: anyone know how to format subscript/superscript text in this forum?

I agree. Apples and Oranges.

Doesn't seem like they have a cohesive plan. They have a series of bits and pieces, but not the comprehensive overhaul and the creation of a public / universal option that we need.

Also, many of their proposals are just propaganda about abortion and illegal immigrants.

In other words...

Grayson was like Kanye West talking shit at his own concert

Wilson was like Kanye West when he stole the mic from Taylor Swift
