makes me want to move to America just to vote for the guy in every election he runs in. That Was Epic!!

Seriously is it just him in the senate that can actually be aggressive and put it to the Repubs and let them know who's boss?

The Gentleman is WRONG! (bitch)

He's a member of the House of Representatives, not a Senator. Reps tend to be the more vocal of the two houses.

I also wanted to point out that Alan Grayson is also in the House.  The Senators tend to be less confrontational in their speeches.  That's why you won't hear many sound bites from Russ Feingold or Bernie Sanders on TYT.  They stand up for the people in the Senate, but do so quietly, under the radar.

Even though senators don't make fantastic speeches, they do write fantastic articles.

 Bernie Sanders most recent article that appeared in The Nation, "No to Oligarchy." It really is a must read for all progressives.

Russ Feingold wrote a great article when he voted NO on finreg that appeared in the Huff post

And when Kucinich voted No in the health care reform, he too wrote a great article explaining why
