With Russ and Grayson gone. We need to shift our hero worship to Anthony Weiner.

[LLStarks]

As a fellow Long Islander, I can vouch for his passion and progressivism.

1. He will need more than just hero worship...I really like Weiner and will stand behind him

[ClassWarrior]

2. It has nothing to do with "hero worship," and while I agree that Rep. Weiner...

...is our best hope, I cannot recommend this thread with that mealy mouthed bullshit in the title.

NGU.

3. Grayson was over-the-top and hurt his own image. Get over it.

[ClassWarrior]

4. So you admit that this thread is flamebait?

NGU.

5. Oooops... Did you accidentally let your real intent show?...

13. Alan Grayson is a champion of the people of America

He was fortunate enough to become quite wealthy, without being born into wealth. Yet in spite of his millions, he never became detached from his roots. He will always be on the side of the ordinary working man and woman of this country.

His political agenda should be considered normal and mainstream. There is nothing wrong with being outspoken. It is an exercise in freedom of speech. The extremists tried to smear him and unfortunately they were successful in his defeat. But the fact that the right hated him so much was proof in my mind that Grayson was, is and always will be a genuine representative of the American people.

6. I like Weiner a lot more than Grayson. Grayson was in show biz...n/t

[ClassWarrior]

9. Psssttt... I got news for you... They're ALL in show biz. Grayson's just better at it than many...

...of his fellow Dems.

Classic line: Politics is show biz for ugly people.

NGU.

[LuvNewcastle]

7. I wouldn't call it hero-worship.

I would just say that some Democrats are a lot better than others at representing what the party stands for. Weiner is heads and shoulders above the rest.

8. Hero Worship?? Really??? I don't worship ANYONE, period.

That's part of what's wrong with these congress critters today, and why they think they are above the laws and think they're fuckin' celebrities or royalty. Fuck 'em all, they ain't good enough to lick the soles of my flip flops...

Hero worship :eyes: :puke:

[Arkana]

10. How about *no* hero worship?

Seriously, it's fine to admire these guys, but worshipping them is just plain dumb.

[ClassWarrior]

11. Of course it is. This is flamebait, meant to ridicule Dems.

NGU.

[LLStarks]

12. he's on rachel next. nt

[lonestarnot]

14. I hate hero worship, unless it discussion of something like the kid who the last couple of days,

lost his own life pushing an autistic special needs child to safety. That is a hero.
