Juanita has a big ole crush.  It’s Congressman Alan Grayson from Florida. She’s bought a ring and plans to ask him to marry her.

Even through he represents a conservative district, Grayson took to the House floor and threw a punch at Republicans that will cause them to have to unzip their pants to see out for months to come.  He said that Republicans want to return to the America of the 1930’s.

“There was no unemployment insurance back then,” Grayson said, in one of the more colorful speeches on the issue. “There was no State benefits back then. There was no help for the people who had no jobs. All they could do, like my grandfather, in desperate straits, supporting a family of seven, was to go to the dump and desperately try to find something he could sell.

“That, my friends, is the America that the Republicans are trying to revive. The America of desperate straits, and for them cheap labor. The America where people have nothing, hope for nothing, and are desperate to live to the next day. That is what the Republicans are trying to resurrect by blocking unemployment insurance day after day, week after week, and now month after month.”

“Cheap labor.  That’s what they want.  If parents are living out of their cars, they will work cheap to feed their children.  He’s right – that’s the goal.” Juanita says. “If Republicans could do away with child labor laws, they would do that, too.”

“Those Republicans are so cold that they could freeze a bonfire,” Verdelia interjects.

“And don’t give me that hogwash about them caring about the national debt.  They didn’t care about that as long as their fat cat friends were getting government money to hide away in offshore banks to avoid taxes.”

“Grayson also said that he hopes God has mercy on their souls.  He’s a nicer person than I am,” she admits.

After Grayson spoke, Republican Peter King had a comment   —-

“I am awfully glad he’s not been appointed to be St. Peter. If he could make that call at the pearly gates, I am pretty convinced that every single Republican would be condemned to the fires of hell by his judgment,” said King.”

Not a bad idea.  Not a bad idea at all.
