I doubt if it will happen. The ideological differences on other issues are just to great.
It't a brave new world; welcome to the monkey house.

How does it feel being so blinded by your ideology? I suppose that knife in your back is totally excusable because a Neocon put it there?
Yes Grayson is a liberal. Yes he is for liberal policies. Unfortunately for you, sometimes there are issues that should transcend ideology. This is one of those situations. Who gives a crap if Grayson is a hardcore socialist pinkie commie muslim? At least he recognizes that this SCOTUS judgement just handed this country to China.
You completely glossed over the horrific decision the Conservative SC made, and tried to shift the blame to "Progressives". I hope you realize one day that some situations transcend ideology. I truly feel sorry for you.
I am glad that many of us, both Conservative and Liberal, have been able to come together and rise above petty differences to see each as we truly are, Americans, who are being screwed by the elite.
I truly hope one day you can also do the same.

The Progressive movement should not exist in the U.S. They go against EVERYTHING that represents the Republic.
It is kind of ironic that a Progressive is trying to use this as a tool for his movement, when it is obvious this is part of what the Progressives want.
One of the main judges who ruled in favor of this is John Paul Stevens, and although he was nominated by a Republican, it is a fact that Stevens is a Liberal.
Anthony M. Kennedy has also been known to vote in favor for both Republican, and Liberal issues.
Yes, this is a bad decision, but certainly it is a decision that favors the Progressives. They had their butts handed to them not being able to pass their socialized medicine as they keep trying to centralize, and merge all the power of the Republic to the state.
BTW, how many people here think that Progressives are multi-millionaires, and billionaires because they don't make any deals with corporations?....

Unfortunately Grayson is a moron. He's repeatedly made a jackass of himself, I can't imagine anyone respecting him or his words.
However corporate influence over government is bad. The only thing as powerful when our country was founded was the Church of England. And we made sure there was separation of church and state so we could worship without government favoritism or suppression.
We need separation of the corporate church from government.
