Did you see this great paragraph from Alan Grayson??

[grasswire]

Grayson, on facebook:

"I want an end to hubris. No, we can’t bring peace through war. No, we can’t force our way of life or our way of thinking on seven billion other people. No, we aren’t going to end the 1200-year-old civil war between the Sunnis and the Shia. No, we aren’t going to go and kill everyone everywhere in the world who harbors some harsh views of us. And no, they won’t greet our soldiers with flowers, bake apple pies for them, and salute the American flag with a hand on their hearts. They want to be them, not us. We can care for victims, protect ourselves, and help our friends without sticking our nose into everyone else’s business."

Truth!

3. ...said the person who took the time to read the quote AND to post a comment on it. [eom]

[mindwalker_i]

4. I've said before that you can be replaced with a simple BASIC program

Your reply reinfoces that opinion greatly.

[Octafish]

5. He's not interested in learning.

Just in smearing.

[mindwalker_i]

18. No kidding!

Dude is the last person who should be calling ANYONE an idiot.

[navarth]

32. that's supposed to be a he?? I thought it was a she.

a very young, unhinged one at that

[amuse bouche]

62. Profile says male

[navarth]

63. really

...did it say anything about childish and unhinged?

[amuse bouche]

65. I didn't look that deep. Just glanced. Sorry

[Roland99]

49. heh

10 PRINT "gobbledygook"
20 GOTO 10

[SoLeftIAmRight]

52. i loved those days

who misses the GOTO

[mindwalker_i]

55. Yup, exactly this

[ananda]

8. I definitely do!

He is so right!

[elias49]

10. I like him.

You prefer the Right side of the aisle?

[yeoman6987]

26. There are two other candidates running.

[elias49]

39. Well, actually there are 14 others running, but the issue was Grayson.

N'est pas?

[yeoman6987]

43. Si! Thanks for the update seriously.

[tecelote]

12. Obviously, you have no problem with killing thousands for regime change.

As long as a women leads the charge.

[pangaia]

13. Me.

[Ned_Devine]

14. I do. What's wrong with what he wrote?

[rhett o rick]

67. Sadly you would hope that you wouldn't see that from a "politically liberal" poster here.

Ad hominem attacks are tools of the desperate.

[Wilms]

17. You asked.

And you were answered.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

22. Wow...good point.

You totally changed my mind with that thoughtful response

[passiveporcupine]

31. He does that a lot

He really has no idea how he hurts his own side.

[Plucketeer]

23. An idiot wouldn't know.

[ejbr]

24. You should be nicer

He endorsed Hillary.

[rurallib]

27. A lot of us do. Especially when it makes a great deal of sense.

[CanonRay]

30. I do as well

[AlbertCat]

34. Who gives a fuck what that idiot has to say?

So....


where's the outrage about attacking fellow Democrats????

Oh I forgot, that only goes one way.... for some.

[cliffordu]

37. I do. The real question is:

Who cares what YOU have to say?

[appalachiablue]

56. +1

[AllyCat]

42. Why is he an idiot?

How is what he saying wrong?

[pacalo]

44. Oops...

[Egnever]

48. Now that's a fire!

[sonofspy777]

46. Sometimes it's better to

remain silent...

I'm sure you know the rest

but your removed all doubt alright!

[Logical]

47. More whining! How cute! Nt

[peace13]

51. An observation..

If you are going to proudly display your candidates logo, you may want to consider how your post will represent her.

[Betty Karlson]

59. Wow: calling afellow democrat an idiot are we?

Very tough of you. Would you like it if we started to apply the same standard of discourse when discussing you preferred candidate and her DINO-pals in the DNC?

[Hortensis]

6. Yes, that is pretty good. Thanks, Grasswire.

[Octafish]

7. Grayson speaks truth.

Pax Americana is nuts.

The reason we've destroyed the planet is that's where the money and power.

[malaise]

9. That simple

Great post

Rec

[djean111]

11. Can't wait to vote for him in the primary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[yeoman6987]

28. No. Vote for the great female. Please!

She is awesome. I heard her speak. She is a lawyer but is for the poor and working class. She is African American who is incredibly great. At least research her to see if you might be interested.

[90-percent]

15. Alan is stellar

Been a fan for a long time. His sarcasm and dry wit may be off putting to some, but I grew up on Long Island where sarcasm is the language of the Gods!

Plus he is working hard for us little people instead of special interests.

He is not a sell out to big money like 95% of Congress and he knows his subject matter well.

and this Congressman-with-guts regularly skewers sacred cows speaking to the Congress.

-90% Jimmy

[DrDan]

25. and those off-shore accounts?

[FrodosPet]

40. Do as he says, not as he does

He says the correct things, and he's just playing the wealth game by the rules that exist. So it is mandatory to cut him some slack. If he did violate any rules, you cannot expect him to be an expert on all the legalese and trickery of offshore investments and tax shelters.

[santafe52]

16. Grayson is definitely one of the good guys…

We need his toughness and sometimes abrupt demeanor in the fight against evil.

[SoapBox]

19. Truth indeed.

[Uncle Joe]

20. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, grasswire.

[LiberalArkie]

21. Thanks, a very good post.

[GoneFishin]

29. I like him. He says shit that embarrasses the Republicans, and that makes me happy.

I'm sick of mealy mouthed Democrats letting the Repukes walk all over them on social issues, then cooperating with them to give away taxpayer cash to their corporate buddies.

[George II]

33. I thought it would include something about "I'm going to give my ex-wife what's due her"......

....and call off all the lawsuits.

You do realize he's one of the richest members of Congress.

[grasswire]

35. truth is truth

I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I can appreciate truth spoken, and not like everything about the speaker.

[djean111]

45. I live in Florida. I don't have to LIVE with Grayson - I have to live with the

legislation he introduces or votes on. And Murphy is a DINO who votes quite a lot with the GOP.
That is what is important, not gossip. And how very fucking hilarious that we are admonished to not talk about Clinton baggage, and I suppose we are to ignore how very wealthy Hillary is, eh?

So - none of your "points" are relevant to me, a person who lives here and will be voting for Grayson.

[Enthusiast]

36. I'm glad to see this. Thank you, grasswire.

[mountain grammy]

38. Thanks for the post

And , yes I do care what this Democratic Congressman has to say, especially when it's the truth.

[grasswire]

41. "They want to be them, not us."

That is so deeply revelatory.

[ViseGrip]

50. And to think the Florida Democratic Party is working so hard against him. All for a D.I.N.O.

Who actually IS a recent former republican!

[gordyfl]

53. He Still Has My Vote

I've always liked Alan Grayson. Although I feel less now after following his divorce in the local news.
I thought he was too harsh on his wife fighting over the money. The woman had 4 children by him. I can't believe he took the "We're not married" approach.

That said, and after reading this article, he still has my vote.

[NoMoreRepugs]

54. Seems to me that Dems are more likely

to include a candidates personal life into the decision making process as to whether or not they are going to support someone vs the typical Gop voter - as if that makes the slightest bit of difference in job performance

I've been in Grayson's district since he started in politics and from what I have observed he stands heads and shoulders above most other Congress-critters in terms of accomplishments and not being afraid to speak to truth

[niyad]

58. so very true.

[MsMAC]

60. I do also!

[grasswire]

61. still true, today nt

[LiberalLovinLug]

66. "Who gives a fuck what that idiot has to say?"

More like Who gives a fuck what AN idiot has to say?

And you only have to look at the vast majority of posts responding to see that NO ONE does.

You and the other two idiots that actually voted to allow your bigoted post to stand.
