Callers on C-SPAN jump down the throat of Senator Grassley

[kentuck]

No doubt, he was surprised at the animosity directed toward him and his Party this morning. Being a former blue-collar worker, he is sent out by his Party to sell all the give-aways to the rich. And he marches forward like a good soldier.

But, this morning, they took him to task over the estate tax, the "obscene bill" that they passed to add the minimum wage to, and Social Security theft of over $1 trillion dollars in the last 6 years. If there is any justice in the world, and if these calls are any indication of what the people are thinking, then the Republicans are in deep doo-doo come November.

1. hooooo boy!

I'm going to have to catch that on re-air!

[Captain Hilts]

2. GOOD!!!!!!!!!! Let's hope his constituents go after him too. nt

3. It was so refreshing to hear that people 'get it' rather than

showing their usual display of blind allegiance.

[Skidmore]

4. Senator Lawnmower deserves every bit of criticism he gets and

I promise I will continue to do my best to vote that nasally sucker out of office. He believes that the superwealthy should be protected species, and the only family farm he's worried about is his own.

5. I have seen him a half dozen times ...

the last year or so on C-Span, and it just burns my butt to see him, like every other slimy R, spew the well honed half lies/flat lies of the conservative tax breaks are the end all/be all lie ...

Vermin, lying bloodsucking scum, like the rest of them ...

6. Can we all agree he is worse than Lieberman?

:)

[never_get_over_it]

7. No actually we can't agree to that

unless Lieberman became a repunk - but Lieberman professes to be a Dem....

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

8. Lots Of Senators Are Worse Than Lieberman

That doesn't make him acceptable. But clearly he's better than someone like Frist or Grassley. It doesn't take much to surpass them in terms of value.

[Skidmore]

9. Yes and no.

At least we know Grassley is the other side. Lieberman puts a "D" behind his name on the Senate roster.

10. The callers were brutally honest!

One woman said that she wished he had to live on the current minimum wage and he said ".. but we're raising it."

Right, I'm sure the senator could live really well working full-time for less than $8 per hour. :sarcasm:
