Grayson's money bomb makes noise

Borrowing from Ron Paul, U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson kicked off a "money bomb" today, and by his telling, it's going really well.

As of 4 p.m., Grayson's Web site shows $433,000 has been collected, exceeding a stated goal of $400,000.

He supposedly is wealthy; a real rags to riches story if reports are true.

$ 499,000.95 of it probably from George Soros.

But realisticaly, Grayson should be taken very seriously.

Because, in my opinion, he is a very evil and wicked individual. Totally devoid of decency, morals, and conscience. Back in Germany in the 1020’s and 30s there were people saying basically the same things he is saying about Republicans about the Jews. At that time very few took them seriously. Later they came into power and history records the result.

Anyone who deos not believe that if it was in his power to do so, he would gleefully shove people who believe as we do into a gas chamber. He would then seal the door, drop the pellets into it or turn on the gas and laugh as went through our death throes is delusional.

He is like Robert Wexler on steroids. Same little Bronx born sewer rat like Wexler. His district cannot be that liberal or stupid.

Todd Long will be running against Grayson. Long, lives in the Orlando area. I will post his site as soon as I get it. Got some mail announcing his kick off campaign party just the other day.

In my humble opinion Grayson couldn’t find his A$$ in a lighted room with both hands.

Nonsense. He is from a middle class Jewish family in the Bronx. He attended Bronx Science, one of the best high schools in the city. He made his millions as a plaintiffs lawyers, like John Edwards.

No amount of money will save this fool.

When he loses his seat in 2010, maybe Obama will appoint him Undersecretary of State for Aggravating Friends and Allies. (USAFA)

I don’t know for sure. His own presentations make it sound as though he put himself through Harvard and made his money in the investment industry.

Isn’t there a better candidate out there who isn’t a trial lawyer or has been arrested multiple times for DUI/public intoxication?

From Todd Long’s web site

“Aside from the humor presented in movies and on television, there is nothing funny about slip and fall cases. From falls in the grocery store due to improperly maintained aisles to falls at a neighbor’s swimming pool due to an excessively slippery deck surface, the resulting injuries can be very severe. Many accidental falls occur on a homeowner’s premises, which are covered by the homeowner’s insurance, others occur at commercial venues which include restaurants, grocery stores or theme parks around the Orlando area. Broken bones, knocked-out teeth, cuts and abrasions, all the way up to traumatic brain injury, paraplegia, quadriplegia and even death all are possible consequences of a “mere” slip and fall.

Florida law requires, before recovering any money damages in a slip and fall case, that one must first prove that the landowner or business owner was negligent in maintaining his property. We can give your slip and fall case the attention it deserves. We have the resources to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of your slip and fall, to help establish which parties are liable for your injuries. We can give you an up-front assessment of your case and what it is worth. If an appropriate settlement offer does not come in, I am a Board Certified Trial Lawyer and am prepared to take your case to trial.

I have had over 15 years of experience handling serious personal injury cases, including slip and fall cases. I am a Board Certified Civil Trial specialist, a distinction that less than 2% of all Florida attorneys can claim.

Call our office or submit an online case evaluation today for a free assessment of your case. And remember - if we don’t recover money for you, you don’t pay.”

Money, yes money, drives a campaign.

Me thinks though...2010 might just change that whole concept.
