FTA: When asked about an opposing Web site patterned after his, called My Congressman Is Nuts, Grayson said, "They call me nuts, they call me stupid, they call me ugly -- they might be right about ugly -- but that's not what's important."

While his own website is congressman with guts, more recently his behavior would suggest it should be congressman with nuts.

That said, he needs to make sure he doesn't trip over them before his rhetoric gets in the way of the delivery of real results.

Do they call him Jane?

/That's not his name

"but that's not important right now..."

pxlboy: "but that's not important right now..."

I'd read the article, but I'm too distracted by this sale at Penny's.

Love this guy. Wish he was my Rep.

I'm still amazed the guy is from Florida, if only we had democrats like him in Congress.

Willowy: Love this guy. Wish he was my Rep.

He's my rep. Love this guy.

Ah, the brutally honest Democrat with a spine.

A rare sight indeed.

That's what I submitted this with, yesterday. Who did I offend?

dstanley: That's what I submitted this with, yesterday. Who did I offend?

Me.

Grayson says some things which are, IMO, too over the tops. He has something the democrats need, but he has too much of it. But he also seems a lot more. . . ballsy and funny than most congresspeople.

I mean, he's basically going full, balls to the wall anti-Republican. He's treating Republicans the way they treat democrats. It's disingenuous and over the top, but I would be lying if I said I didn't get some "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" pleasure out of it.

Because when Republicans said democrats wanted to kill old people, that was "speaking truth to power." But democrats saying republicans want to kill poor people. . .

Who cares? This guy is a looney tune.

He is better than my Rep. Mine is embarrassing and has a cult following

Bocanegra: Who cares? This guy is a looney tune.

Oh, so he's like a Spike Jones song.

FTA: "Why can't they stick to the point?"

Because lies, distractions, and misdirection are how most modern republicans and many modern democrats stay in power.

Meh

I'd rather have more people like him than the cowardly weasels who are currently in public office. It's not like we are being served well by the idiot losers who are all prim and proper.

Bocanegra: Who cares? This guy is a looney tune.

So I guess some congressmen who barely know what the internet is, and has never used it, is somehow less looney than this kickass, tyranny-crushing Alan Grayson?

An angry, populist politician that uses simplistic arguments and throws out red meat to his fans?

This is the first time ever the internet has seen a political personality cult. There's no way he'll become a passing fad. His philosophy will spread from the basements of geekdom and transform the world!

/Kucinich 04..er..Ron Paul 08...er...Grayson 2012!

As a District 1 Floridian, I wish my district was lucky enough to have a congressman represent it like Mr. Grayson, instead of a joke republican soap box of a prick as Jeff Miller(Joe Scarborough before him was just as bad).

Grayson used to treat republicans with a lot of dignity, until he started getting treated like shiat whenever he tried to talk to Fox News correspondents about our current problems. He is a great congressman and I hope he runs for the Senate.

He should run for senate

granderoho: Grayson used to treat republicans with a lot of dignity, until he started getting treated like shiat whenever he tried to talk to Fox News correspondents about our current problems. He is a great congressman and I hope he runs for the Senate.

I think everyone should know better than to try to talk to Fox News in a reasonable manner.

I don't recalling hearing them say Democrats want to kill old people, just that their policies will result in it. An accurate statement, IMO. If you reduce Medicare funding by 500 billion, something has to give and what's going to give is medical care for the elderly. I'm sure Democrats will be properly regretful, if they notice.

This is Grayson's brain:





It is far more than a few fries short.
