ALAN GRAYSON: Here's How I Plan To Make The Benghazi Investigation A 'Nightmare' For Republicans
AP yahoo business insider ^ | 5/20/2014 | Brett LoGiurato

Rep. Alan Grayson, a Democrat from Florida, has a plan to become Republicans' "worst nightmare" if he is indeed appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the select committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. (clip)

Grayson said he would use the Benghazi hearings as an opportunity to draw attention to other issues important to "ordinary Americans" that have not received as much attention.

Following DeLauro's proposal, liberal groups hatched another idea: send Grayson. A petition on the CREDO group's website has already garnered more than 65,000 signatures.

Grayson said it's up to Pelosi to determine how she wants to approach the number of people she sends to participate. He said he's "ready, willing, and more than able" to be on the committee and, if he's chosen he would be Republicans' "worst and last nightmare."

Grayson also offered Business Insider a preview of what that "nightmare" would look like. During the proceedings, Grayson said he would attempt to draw attention to other issues for which he thought voters would also like select committees to be formed.

"I'll be asking why there's no select committee on income inequality. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on immigration reform. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on the minimum wage. I'll be asking why there's no select committee on anything that has anything to do with the lives of ordinary Americans," Grayson said.

Grayson predicted he would draw attention to the 60 people who died from embassy attacks under the Bush administration, as well as questioning why there wasn't a select committee established to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack.

"Grayson said he would use the Benghazi hearings as an opportunity to draw attention to other issues important to "ordinary Americans" that have not received as much attention. IRS? Fast & Furious? ObamaCare? VA hospital?"

Heh. Wait. Not just, "Heh," but HEH!!" >>>>>

I hope Gowdy eats him alive and uses his chair powers to shut him down.

Dems always do that. Fight back.

Benghazi is obviously the real achilles heal for them...it’s the one they are fighting hardest to stop.

Mr Grayson will no doubt take off like the loose cannon he is. Shirley he'll work up a nice head of steam before he runs face first in the concrete block wall named Trey Gowdy.

Trey eats decimated RATS for breakfast.


Trey
Gowdy

I can’t for the life of me figure out why some republican doesn’t bitch slap these democrats. Right after he says “I’ve never seen a party’s peasants support their king the way you peasants support obama.”

Let me guess... he is going to claim he cares more for people in America... by giving up care for dead Americans..

This is typical liberal hate crap, to make people think they are loved by them through bribing them of other issues, making them hate racistly the victims or their defenders.

It has flown for a while but this madness might stop here. Hopefully someone will shut the yap out of the like of Grayson and disgrace once and for all liberal desperate race and wealth baiting hate tactics.

Ok then Republicans on that committee should bring this Clown’s soon to be ex-wife and let her testify on his physical and mental abuse when they were married.

Grayson’s soon to be ex-wife should be there every day he is.

Can Gowdy refuse to seat him if he so chooses?
