GRAYSON-WARREN 2016 No more teabaggers like Obama or Clinton! When is left not left enough? When it's Hillary Rodham Clinton. You see, to the DUmmies, Hillary is not hardcore-left enough. They pillory Hillary. To them, she's practically a teabagging Rethuglican. So is Obama, for that matter. The DUmmies have been looking ahead to 2016, and they do not like what they see. For it seems that HILLARY! will be the heir apparent, and she's not radical-Communist enough for their tastes. So the DUmmies have begun to search about, looking for a more progressive alternative. It doesn't matter if their choice...

PICKET: Alan Grayson faces tight race and accusation of $2.1 million tax fraudBy Kerry Picket - The Washington Times October 16, 2012, 08:07AM **SNIP** Grayson is not just facing a tight race but also an accusation from a former client, who filed a claim with the IRS charging Mr. Grayson with $2.1 million in tax fraud. According to a press release from Mr. Ubl, who campaigned for Grayson in 2008, Grayson’s senior partner Victor Kubli, a convicted felon, is also named in the complaint. “I have fought fraud in the federal sector and military industrial complex for over 20 years....

I admit it, I have mixed feelings about this. First, the news. "Roll Call" has just moved the FL-9 race into the "likely Dem" category, meaning that bloviating buffoon Alan Grayson will return to the House.

GOP Congressional District 9: Quinones gets McCollum endorsement; Melendez gets two nods Uncategorized — posted by scottpowers on June, 7 2012 4:54 PM Former Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum has endorsed Osceola County Commissioner and former State Rep. John Quinones in the multi-person race for the Republican nomination to run for Congress in the new District 9. Meanwhile, one of Quinones’ opponents, Osceola County School Board Vice Chairman Julius Melendez, announced endorsements from his board’s Chairwoman Barbara Horn and from State Rep. Steve Crisafulli (R-Merritt Island). Former Congressman Alan Grayson is running on the Democratic side. The district takes in...

John Quiñones, one Republican challenger to Democrat Alan Grayson, sent an email to supporters tonight highlighting a fundraiser on Tuesday; minimum suggested contribution is $50. The Osceola County commissioner (and congressional hopeful) will need the money if he wants to compete. Grayson has netted at least $1.7 million in campaign contributions so far and has his own wealth to backstop his return to Congress. Included on the invite was a list of honorary hosts; they are below. Honorary Host Committee: Former Attorney General Bill McCollum City of Orlando Commissioner Tony Ortiz Representative Stephen Precourt Teresa Jacobs, Orange County Mayor Art...

Complete Title: The Soros Summit - Free Beacon exclusive: Inside the secret Miami meeting of George Soros’s liberal conspiracy ### A secretive network of left-wing billionaires and their political operatives descended on the luxurious Biltmore Hotel in Miami over the weekend to discuss strategy for the coming elections. The location of the conference had been kept a closely guarded secret by the members and guests of Democracy Alliance (DA), a collection of ultra-wealthy liberal donors formed in 2005, and is reported here in a Washington Free Beacon exclusive. Attendees roamed the grounds at the 150-acre tropical resort on their way...

The Jewish Congressman who became the darling of the left wing of the Democratic party but not so much with his district (he served only one term), who, in 2009, defined the Republican’s idea of health care plan as, “Don’t get sick, and if you do get sick, die quickly,” may require some serious health care himself. According to WESH-TV2, last Saturday in Orlando, Fla., the former Florida Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson ran a red light with his car, a Mercedes (now, is that a car a nice Jewish boy should be driving?) and smashed into a public transit bus....

"Cenk's Back" and Grayson's on him! Yes, that's the news that's rocking the political talk world today. Cenk Uygur is BACK! Back on TV, back in your living room, where he belongs. And--now hold on to your hat--Alan Grayson is slated to be his first guest, TONIGHT! Wow! Is this exciting or what? Your genial TV talk host, Cenk "The Young Turk" Uygur, has been absent from the cable airwaves, lo, these past many months, after an all-too-brief run on MSNBC, where, somehow, he was not able to garner the ratings he so richly deserves. I think Diebold must...

Looney Tunes Leftie Alan Grayson is a GOD in DUmmieland! And the defeated one-term congressman from Outlandish, Florida, has just announced that he will TRY AGAIN in 2012. This sent a buzz through DUmmieland like you wouldn't believe! And then, lo and behold, The Man himself showed up, in the DUmp, to greet the faithful! It's like a rock star--no, a movie star--dropping by to pay a visit on the little people! But in reality, Alan "Guts" Grayson just dropped in to . . . FLEECE THE DUMMIES! Yes, he didn't actually INTERACT with these morans, he just stopped...

WFTV learned on Monday that former U.S. Congressman Alan Grayson is running for office again. On Monday, Grayson said he doesn't plan to do anything different. He said he's running again because of all the people who have reached out and asked him to. Grayson already raised nearly $100,000 in donations before filing his paperwork on Monday. "We need somebody who's gonna stick up for what's right. Somebody with guts," Grayson said. During Grayson's last campaign an ad referred to his opponent, Daniel Webster, as Taliban Dan. Grayson lost his District 8 Congressional seat to Webster after a highly controversial...

Alan Grayson is crazy. He was booted from office after he knowingly edited his opponents words and after warning that, should the government spend less, humans would have to resort to cannibalism, as well as doing a terrible job. And now there's this. Grayson, having absolutely nothing to do with his time, decided to write an article on the Daily Kos entitled "Green Lantern." In it, he laments that the newly released movie isn't getting better reviews. Grayson then posits that this line (from Green Lantern #76) should have been included in the theatrical release: African-American Man: I’ve been readin’...

On Wednesday, controversial former Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) mocked former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, outlined death threats he and other Members received last year and detailed inflammatory rhetoric, asking his supporters to “stand against it.” “[T]here has been a stream of violence and threats of violence by the right wing against Democrats. [Rep. Gabrielle Giffords] warned against it, and then became a terrible victim of it. Palin has instigated it, and then tried to pretend that it doesn’t exist,” Grayson wrote in an e-mail to supporters. Grayson said it was Palin’s appearance on “The Sean Hannity Show,” where she complained...

Disgraced former Congressman Alan Grayson has apparently not got enough attention from his two year stint as a Representative. Grayson also did not seem to get the Democrats' new memo regarding 'civility' in politics. He is now openly blaming former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for the shooting. Grayson was ousted last November by Daniel Webster in one of the closest-watched House races. He was defeated by the convincing margin of 18 points after barely winning in the Democratic wave year of 2008. He was unrepentant-- and in fact, even more bombastic than usual: "Reacting to Palin's defense of her controversial...

Former Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) places blame directly on Sarah Palin and Republicans for last week's deadly Arizona shooting in an email to supporters on Wednesday. Grayson, a one-term Democrat who was ousted by Rep. Daniel Webster (R) by 18 points in November, is widely expected to run again in 2012. And while the note isn't an explicit appeal for money, there is a "contribute" link at the bottom of the message. "When I opened my web browser yesterday, at yahoo.com, there was Sarah Palin, smiling at me," Grayson writes. "'Oh God,' I said to myself, 'what has she done...

Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida, the fiery leftist and Republican hater whose offensive comments about Republicans may well have cost him his seat last November, gets a fairly fond send-off in Monday's New York Times. Reporter Michael Barbaro, previously known for his hostile coverage of Wal-Mart, called Grayson the “pugnaciously partisan, verbal-bomb-tossing, liberal folk hero of the 111th Congress,” and the headline and text box are complimentary. “Enter: Swinging. Exit: Much the Same Way.” The text box: “In or out of Congress, Alan Grayson is a man of strong views.” Barbaro only briefly dealt with Grayson’s history of foul...

ORLANDO, Fla. — He has zero faith in the incoming speaker of the House, John A. Boehner, whom he calls a “tool of special interest.” He derides the Tea Party’s successes as “bought and paid for by the enormously rich and the selfish.” And he can barely contain distaste for his Republican successor, whose views he sums up as “bizarre fundamentalist.” Representative Alan Grayson, a Democrat from Florida’s Eighth Congressional District, is leaving office on Wednesday much as he entered it two years ago — as the pugnaciously partisan, verbal-bomb-tossing, liberal folk hero of the 111th Congress.

Now that Alan Grayson is no longer encumbered by the mundane responsibilities of destroying America one vote at a time as a U.S. Congressman, is it possible…egad, that he’s contemplating a primary challenge against Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for POTUS?

Rep. Grayson fires back at George WillBy Christina Wilkie - 12/06/10 07:01 PM ET Outgoing Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) had the dubious honor this year of being named “America’s Worst Politician” in a Newsweek column by conservative author and commentator George Will. ITK recently asked Grayson what he thought of the column, causing the controversial progressive to ask aloud, “I wonder if [George Will] ever comes out of the small dark room he works out of?” Grayson, who lost his reelection bid last month, then appeared to answer his own question, saying, “I guess he did, long enough to attack...

He famously warned Republicans “want you to die quickly.” Now Alan Grayson is leaving Congress. And he isn’t going quietly. Two blue plastic dumpsters, filling up with trash, ornament the reception area of Alan Grayson’s Capitol Hill office. His seven-member Washington staff has been told that their cramped warren on the sixth floor of the Longworth House Office Building must be vacated by the end of the month... “I have nothing to complain about,” Grayson told me cheerfully... This freshman Democratic congressman got to serve only a single term ... In the meantime, Grayson is following Dylan Thomas’ advice by...
