U.S. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Friday called for U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson to drop out of the race for a Senate seat in Florida.

Reid said in a statement that Grayson claims to be progressive but seems to have "no moral compass." He said Grayson used his office to unethically promote a hedge fund that until recently had been based in the Cayman Islands.

Grayson is running in the Democratic primary to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio. His campaign did not immediately respond to Reid's call to quit the race. ...

Grayson appears to have no compass at all, let alone a moral one.

They FINALLY found someone too sleazy and degenerate for the Democrat party???

I mean OK it was Alan Grayson, so it was pretty easy to do, but WOW! I thought it would never happen.

“Alan, buddy, some bad news: Harry Reid thinks you’re crazy. Charles Manson thinks you’re nuts. Ted Kaczynski thinks you’re a loony. Charlie Sheen thinks you’re out of control. ISIS rejected your membership application. Rabid dogs retreat when you’re around. If it gets any worse you might be questionable for Congress.”

Funny, since "progressives" lack any moral compass to begin with!!

Harry Reid wouldn't know a moral compass if it came up and kicked him in the shins.

or gave him a black eye ......

Grayson is a rabid, spittle-flying maniacal freak-leftist whackjob.

But enough about his finer qualities, wonder what Dingy Harry found that displeased him so?

Oh, yes...when Dems have a Charter Member of the Gang of Eight already under their control they don't need anything to jeapordize that.

“”Thank goodness that he will be gone from Washington, D.C., when I am sworn into the Senate,” Grayson said of Minority Leader Harry Reid, who he accused in a statement of using a “false and misleading hyped story” to try to pressure him out of the campaign to replace Republican Marco Rubio.

“... and I question the morality and judgment of any elected official, much less one in my own party, who would sink so low as to engage in such a smear,” said Grayson, who also blamed Reid for Democrats having “failed so badly in the 2014 Senate races.”

Reid, who is retiring this year, said earlier in the day that Grayson disgraced Democrats and Congress...”

This reads like Reid yelled at his television like the cranky crooked geezer he is.

If even the communist Harry Reid doesn’t want you to run, you know you’re in a bad way!
