Time to expose the Tea Klan

can decimate vast swaths of ignorant baggers ->

Always ends up giving me an image of Nelson holding the telescope to his blind eye, "Turning a blind eye".

Sorry, read too much swashbuckling fiction as a youngster.

like Grayson and there would be no TP morons taking this country hostage. He doesn't compromise with idiots, never did which is why I love him.

to point out strongly the lies and deceptions of the radicals, the Corporatists, the corrupt, in Congress. We so need more like him. But there seems to be some resistance to this kind of Democrat among the leadership in the party for some reason. Which is all the more reason why I respect him. He was targeted during the 2010 election by the Far Right/Koch Bros contingency with millions of dollars. I don't recall the party coming to his aid. But, he bounced right back, on his own it seems and that gives me hope that people with the kind of spirit he has CAN do it without the Corporate influences so many of them now rely on.

... that's what their problem is. They go along to get along. They are afraid to rock the boat. Money, Money, Money, Money. That's why this country is in the shape it is. With Democrats like them and a bought and paid for coroporate news media....well, here we are. I just am very very thankful for Alan Grayson, even though he is not my Representative. He is a true Democratic voice out there.

on the house floor to the end it is amazing what he is trying to do. As he was trying to invoke a rule that allows members the privilege to bring up a bill if the house is deadlocked, as they were. However the rules had been changed as we now know Before the shutdown started. another words they planned it! and so he was not able to bring up the clean CR from the senate. Of course Loose Dog Poop would be problematic!

... cool as a cucumber. The man never raises his voice, never gets rattled. He'd do great in a Presidential debate.

He may be a loose cannon, but he's our loose cannon.

Let's stand with him all the way.

And I agree: Grayson is brilliant at shoving it right back at the bad guys (yes, the GOP = "bad guys&quot . We need more like him in the House and Senate, and more voters who will get out in 2014 to vote for more like him.

combined.

the popularity of Congress and dog poop.

for certain.

The Tea Party is about as popular as the Klan!

me!!!

I love Warren for 2016, so a possible

Warren/Grayson ticket would win win WIN!!!

Substance, sense and spine. America would really respond well to that.

He says mean, blunt things to Republicans and rightwingers and
hurts their feelings and makes them cry, mommy!

than Grayson. He uses the common sense approach!

. . .loves the sport of getting in there and punching at the GOP.

As Truman would say:

I had to look up the date.

-Laelth

four others in Congress he represents the American people only.

Someone that will speak up and challenge the right-wing machine that tends to dominate debate and discussions.

Sadly for us, we're a tiny minority of a huge party.

Al Gore still has supporters here and, after 13 years, he's made it very clear he isn't running again. I didn't intentionally leave off Howard Dean either even though he's just as unlikely to run. That would make an interesting poll-who would you vote for as president if you could have anyone regardless of their viability or interest.

But he looks even badder with a beard. Wish he'd grow it back!



Would you mess with this man?

LOVE him!

K&R

Now that is a great campaign line!! I hope he reads it!

Is what the guy has got in spades. Something apparently missing in the mainstream party. The ability to say something stinks when you smell a dirty diaper...and the guy can do it in such a pleasant way without raising anyones' bloodpressure
Fire away Big Al, we'll pass the ammunition.

What do boxes have to do with it?

Anyway, in case you meant "cojones," I deplore the equating of courage with male genitalia.

we need people not afraid to piss off the radical right.

Here in Florida, we get enough grief about our disproportionately uber-red legislature and governor. So it's refreshing to know there is at least one dyed in the wool liberal in our Congressional delegation.

People liked to compare him with Allen West, categorizing them both as partisan bomb throwers. However, the undeniable difference between the two: Grayson, unlike West, fact checks before opening his mouth.

over the past decade. He is fearless for one thing, he is INDEPENDENT and NEVER backs down or compromises with Republicans when they are wrong. He is relentless when he believes in something, and there is nothing wishy washy about him when he has something to say. THAT is what need for leadership, enough of the compromising, 'let's all get along' and 'the moral equivalency vagueness' we hear from the current leadership.

Grayson calls out those who are responsible, he never tries to tie Dems to Repubs with the abhorrent 'both sides do it' lie.

He would be a Democratic Teddy Roosevelt type of president. Gruff with those who deserve it, funny, informed, and FIRM.

Now that I think of it, I am going to root for him to run. I know the DLC wing of the party won't want him to run, which makes him all the more desirable as far as I am concerned.

It's really time to shake up the establishment in the U.S.

Anyone whining about the "professional left", like Obama basically did the other day, should read JFK's famous "if by liberal you mean" speech over and over.

but as time goes on, it seems like loose cannons are becoming an asset in this extremely tipped playing field

One of the wrathful deities, with some of the most wicked eyebrows on earth. To Republicans he must look like the Dire Wolf. K & R for Grayson.

We really should send someone like Grayson or Warren (there may be others) up against the DLC types in the POTUS Dem primary. The party needs to have a discussion about what it stands for. I think once the people start hearing the truth, the snowball will start rolling downhill.

And I am very glad that cannon is pointed at America's internal enemies!

The US and the world would be a much better place.
