Rep. Grayson wants to send critic to jail for five years

WASHINGTON — Not everyone thinks imitation is the best form of flattery.

In fact, U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson of Orlando took such offense at a parody website aimed at unseating him that the freshman Democrat has asked that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder investigate the Lake County activist who started the anti-Grayson website “mycongressmanisnuts.com.”

Specifically, Grayson accuses Republican activist Angie Langley of lying to federal elections. His four-page complaint highlights the fact that the Clermont resident lives outside his district, but that Langley still uses the term “my” in “mycongressmanisnuts.com.”

“Ms. Langley has deliberately masqueraded as a constituent of mine, in order to try to create the false appearance that she speaks for constituents who don’t support me,” writes Grayson. “[She] has chosen a name for her committee that is utterly tasteless and juvenile.”

Grayson’s office did not respond with comment other than to confirm the letter exists — including its request that Langley be fined and “imprisoned for five years.”

Still, the specifics of his demand PROVES that Grayson really is a fascist pig.

when he returns all of those contributions, then he may have a case.

I agree. But in the meantime, he IS a case.

Grayson‘s official campaign finance records filed with the FEC, and state election commissions, should be scrutinized for possible violations. Determine if names of contributors are legit. whether bundling was used, whether campaign funds were used legally, and whether tax dollars were disguised as campaign contributions to influence Congressional votes.

He may have colluded and agreed to receive something of value, campaign assiatance, campaign cash, a govt gratuity, jobs for relatives, etc, in exchange for votes.

Watch for Obama throwing stim into the area....that suddenly disappears.

POSSIBLE CHARGES
official acts prohibited,
misuse of Congressional funds,
abuse of public office;
violating oath of office;
misuse of government position;
abuse of government power;
conflict of interest;
influence buying;
conspiracy to deceive;
misuse of elective office,
collusion,
conspiracy to collude;
government fraud.

Keep in mind that elected officials are held to a higher legal authority---what is acceptable behavior for citizens might be a crime for elected legislators under oath of office.

The FBI should interrogate US Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Orlando) to determine if he received anything of value ---money, jobs, campaign contributions, political cover to facilitate votes, and whether he colluded to misuse Congressional influence.

“...they truly are insane and evil.”

You are now on the right track. But, the words “insane” and “evil” are not adequate to describe them. (Maybe they’re the minions of the Devil himself.”

IMHO

There's a hierarchy here. First there's the antichrist himself. Then there are the acolytes of the antichrist. Finally, we have the handmaidens of the acolytes of the antichrist.

Grayson licks the bottoms of their shoes ~ that's a special level of the hierarchy BTW.

So the nuts part is still right.

Can you say “carpetbagger”? Grayson was born in the Bronx, New York and grew up in the tenements. He graduated from Bronx High School of Science, worked his way through Harvard.......and now represents Orlando.

That sounds familiar----did Grayson pull a Wexler con?

BACKSTORY Ex-Cong Wexler lived with his family in Maryland and calculatedly used his in-laws’ Palm Beach address to establish Florida residency — in overwhelmingly Democratic Palm Beach. Wexler was elected to Congress in 1996 and has NEVER faced a serious challenge. Wexler won a seventh term with 66.2 percent of the vote.

(Sob) I just hope Wexler's wealthy Palm Beach district is not the same wealthy Palm Beach affinity crowd that got wiped out "investing" with Madoff (/sniffle).

Wexler has quit Congress. He will get Big Bucks to run The Middle East (dare we say it) "Peace" Center. Wexler's job will consist of negotiating a multi-billion dollar price tag on the inevitable photo-ops of Peace Pals---Obambi and Bimbiyahoo (in $3500 Armani suits)---shaking hands in the Rose Garden (yawn). The bilking of the US Treasury continues.

NEED TO KNOW Did then-Cong Wexler vote for (and earmark) budget appropriations for The Middle East Peace Center--that included a hefty salary, expense account, travel allowance, and other perks, for himself? An accounting of the Wexler-types getting wealthy off these "peace" scams is in order.

Speaking of prosecutions, most Americans believe people should be prosecuted for daring to utter "peace" and "Mideast" in the same sentence.

Once again, liberals show their support for freedom of speech. I’m just dissapointed that Republicans can’t find a first-tier candidate to run. On the bright side, we might not need a strong candidate.

Grayson needs to be impeached over this. This is a blatant violation of the oath of office he took where he swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Yet here he is throwing one of it’s most important protections out the window, and as an agent of the state, is asking for a citizen to be arrested for her speech of which he doesn’t approve.

If we value our inherent rights which are codified in our Constitution, this needs to carry a stiff penalty for the tyrant who would dare make such a mockery of our values.

What a wack job. I was impressed with his questioning of several Obamanoid financial people, though. With a few rare exceptions everyone in Congress is certifiably insane.

Does he want to imprison more than half the Senate and House of Representatives and all their minions?

Well....OK, if that's what the Lord Grayson sayeth, off to the stocks they go!

“Grayson is a quantifiable pansy in the same league of gentlemen as pansy-in-chief Barry.”

Two jerkoffs in search of a clue.
