Did Far-Left Dem Congressman Alan Grayson Scam The City Of Orlando? (FR exclusive)

Did Far-Left Dem Congressman Alan Grayson Scam The City Of Orlando? (FR exclusive)

Citizens of Central Florida are accustomed to being scammed by far-left Congressman Alan Grayson. Grayson recently spent $73,000 of federal taxpayers’ money on a re-election DVD. The DVD was supposedly an “informational” recording, but everyone who held their nose and watched it saw that it was clearly a “re-elect me” piece from Florida’s most infamous Congressman….. paid for by us.

Grayson is well known and reviled throughout the country for announcing on the House floor that Republicans wanted old people to die to reduce health care costs. He called a conservative female lobbyist a “K Street Whore” on national TV. He stacked his only Obamacare Town Hall with ACORN members, while WWII vets in wheelchairs were refused admission, although they had waited for hours in the Florida August sun to see Grayson. Grayson is the one who announced on national TV that “ Dick Cheney has blood dripping from his teeth” and “Rush Limbaugh was more lucid when he was a drug addict.”

Now, questions are being asked about Grayson’s latest video, and how he seems to have scammed the City of Orlando. In the widely broadcast TV commercial, shot in a huge football stadium, he tells everyone how great he is, then kicks a football through the uprights.

The problem with the commercial is that it was shot in the City of Orlando-owned Citrus Bowl. The huge stadium just spent a million dollars for Astroturf. It needs money, so it rents out for tens of thousands of dollars per day. The problem is, Grayson seems to have obtained use of the stadium rent free! It seems to be another case of multi-millionaire Grayson scamming the taxpayers for his own political good and personal greed.

Serious questions are being asked and some are even thinking about bringing Grand Theft charges against Grayson. That will probably never happen, but it is expected that the Orlando media will be all over the story in a few days.

Excuse me ... please do not lump all Floridians in with the liberal nuts in South Florida who migrated from Yankee territories.

For real?

Is there any chance of him losing his seat? If the people of his district don’t care, there’s nothing we can do about it except boycott every business and tourist trap in his district and make sure the nusiness owners know why.

It’s time for conservatives to start using their discretionary income to make their point and to be more vocal about it.

During 1988, when Grayson had just turned thirty and while working for the Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson law firm, he spent four days in the Psychiatric Institute of Washington.

What the cause of this stay was is yet unclear, although testimony from co-workers suggests that Grayson was extremely combative with fellow employees, including slapping a female intern in the face.

Grayson was released after PIW doctors declared him “not to be a threat to the public.”

These are the same idiot Florida voters that gave us hanging chads and other humorous and not so humorous terms and events over the past century.

Nope. Sorry. The "hanging chads" were brought to you by stupid New Yorkers who flooded South Florida.

The election of Grayson has coincided with the Orlando area being flooded with more stupid New Yorkers since the late '90s. That has changed Orlando from Red to Blue and gave us Grayson. I honestly don't know if we can unload him or not.

What needs to be done is a check on UCF. UCF is prime grounds for vote fraud potential. I'm sure many vote here and in their "home" state. The funny part is I'm sure most of them don't realize how much of their information is available as public record.

I didn’t know that. However, it’s pretty obvious.

He is the worst of the worst

Don't jump to that conclusion so fast...just when you think "progressives" couldn't go any lower they find a new way to dig a deeper pit of corruption and evil.

Seriously? That explains a lot.

Frankly, I think he needs to check back in.

I googled it and came across an article with this quote:

"With Grayson's erratic behavior has also been seen as a growing embarrassment to the Democratic establishment. New York Congressman Anthony Weiner was quoted by Politico as saying that his colleague was "one fry short of a happy meal." Other Democrats, including New Jersey Rep Bill Pascrell have criticized Grayson's outlandish behavior."

Can't stand wienerboy but got give him props for that quote!

..."Grayson was released after PIW doctors declared him "not to be a threat to the public." - are they sure about that???

UCF and its housing are not in FL8. They are in FL24
