Harry Reid calls on Alan Grayson to drop out
The Hill's Ballot Box Blog ^ | February 12, 2016 | Lisa Hagen

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Friday pressed Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) to drop his Senate bid amid scrutiny surrounding his hedge fund, according to a statement provided to The Hill.

Reid challenged Grayson's progressive credentials and criticized the Florida congressman's "moral compass" based on the recent reports about his fund.

"These deeply troubling allegations should disqualify anyone from a seat in the U.S. Senate," Reid said in a statement, which was first reported by The Associated Press.

"Alan Grayson used his status as a congressman to unethically promote his Cayman Islands hedge funds, and he should drop out of the Senate race immediately. His actions aren't just disgraceful to the Democratic Party, they disgrace the halls of Congress," he continued....

I remember reading an article that called him a financial guru for his amazing ability to always pick stocks that were about to go up. It is really easy to do that when you commit insider trading.

Reid accuses someone else of not having a moral compass? This from the man who said Mitt hadn’t filed his taxes in years.
Reid and Grayson have one moral and one scruple between them. They share them sometimes.
It’s hard to know who has either, which one, or when.

someday Harry Reid is going to drop out. and the world will be a better place. It took a long time for Ted Kennedy to drop out, but I’m patient.

Either Grayson’s sins are far greater than we know or he failed to channel sufficient monies to the ‘Grey Ghost’.

Harry is probably one of Grayson’s victims

<P.
Harry, when was the last time you checked your compass? Oh that’s right, you threw yours away. Not saying Grayson deserves any support, but this is a perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black. Both of you need to disappear from public life forever!!!

Ted Kennedy dropped out the only way Ted would ever drop out. Too bad he didn’t follow Mary Jo into that watery grave he sent her into, and never had to pay the consequences. He is paying the now I am sure, in spades.

Grayson was probably the first to threaten a birther suit against Cruz before it became all the rage.

He’s a very angry & disturbed individual. Hope he goes to prison.

Prison is where the majority of Democrats belong, but I won’t hold my breath.

Wow, this must mean Grayson is close to being investigated...

Reid would not throw Grayson under the bus unless he knew it would make the party look bad and give the GOP a nice talking point ...

Reid challenged Graysons progressive credentials and criticized the Florida congressman's 'moral compass' based on the recent reports about his fund.

Harry ought to check his own moral compass...

It would be pretty hard to find a sleazier snake than Alan Grayson.
One of the nastiest dims around, and that’s saying something.
