"Probably Yes": Alan Grayson Likely To Run For Rubio's Seat

Rep. Alan Grayson – the fiery leftist from the great state of Florida – is likely to run for Senate in 2016, he said in a recent interview:

Outspoken U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson will “probably yes” run for U.S. Senate in 2016, leading to an ideological primary battle against the announced candidate Patrick Murphy, a more centrist Democrat.

Grayson, an Orlando Democrat popular in liberal circles, made the comment during an online Democracy Now! video.

A number of factors have ostensibly come together for the progressive firebrand. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz isn’t running for the seat (an apparent precondition for him actually getting into the race) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) isn’t running for re-election (which of course greatly improves his electoral prospects). The seat is now open.

Well, at least debbie blabbermouth schultz isn't running. Oh, wait. At least she'd be less damaging than alan asshat grayson. This guy is certifiable without a doubt. A bully of the worst kind. Please I-4 corridorians, don't (s)elect this assclown. Two years in the house was bad enough. But, 6+ years in the senate.

The last time I checked at least 51% of Florida voters were not TOTALLY INSANE. That means that Grayson has no chance.

But, I’ve been wrong before on issues related to voter insanity. For example, in 2008 ...

Does Grayson still beat his wife?

The Sentinel reports that her petition states that Rep. Grayson “showed up, unannounced” to their home and he asked to speak with her. She refused and asked him to leave. She then accuses the congressman of “deliberately and with force” pushing her “very hard against the front door, causing [her] to fall to the ground as a result,” the Sentinel reports.

Can he run for the Senate with a restraining order against him?

He is a vile, filthy, disgusting creature that should crawl under a rock and drool on himself.

He is the kind of guy that if you ever witnessed him getting is butt kicked you would cheer for the other guy.

Worse example, 2012. Seriously. I must have been out of my mind to even entertain the thought of the “won” getting a second go around. Guess I underestimated the stupidity in this country. Love to see those priuses with obie bumper sticker from both (s)elections. All I can do to keep from dong a spin and pin on ‘em.

Unfortunately true. Of course we live in a country where 51% of the voters exhibit at least TEMPORARY INSANITY.

Hopefully they will recover over the next year.

A nasty primary on the rat side is just what the doctor ordered. If Grayson can actually beat Murphy, that would be great.

I hope former State Rep. John Quinones takes another crack at Grayson’s seat, it’s a travesty he wasn’t nominated in 2012.
