I'm not 100% in favor of Rep. Grayson's tactics, though I do catch his drift. If he's implying that Republicans want to kill grandma and such, and we heard all those "death panel" b.s., then two wrongs don't make a right.

I always contend that politics is not sports, and war should never be waged for sport. Usually that means that in any real-world conflict, winning should be the goal, but rather peaceful resolution, unless the enemy has demonstrated a total lack of an ability to reason and compromise, and winning decisively is the only thing that'll prevent something horrible to happen to your side. The hard right, those who have seized control of the GOP and marginialized the center-right (which explains why the party is shrinking while the percentage of independents is growing) has had enough olive branches offered to them only to refuse them, and to compromise with anyone unwilling to compromise is to guarantee defeat.

This is not a football game because there is no referee. We don't need to resort to vicious slander against anyone or ruin anyone, but it's way past time to kick some ass.

Rep. Grayson has fired a warning shot, which has caught the other side off guard. As ugly as it was, I'm afraid it was necessary. If I was in Congress, I don't think I could do that; I'm too much of the "take the high road" kind of guy, not a polemicist. But if a shot across the bow is needed, then so be it. At least it forced the Right to have to answer a question--do they really want over 40 thousand Americans to die needlessly every year because of lack of health insurance? (Not that they tried to answer the question... they just continue whine and continue to claim Obama is a secret Muslim socialist homosexual or whatever.)

As for Michael Moore... I'm not a fan of his, and I'm not anti-capitalist. I'm more for social capitalism, I guess.
