In a post on his blog entitled, “The issue was Obama-hatred,” and featuring a picture of the president as the devil, the Democrat attacked the American people for having the attitude of, in his words, “We hate President Obama, and you should too.” Posted on 11/15/2014 2:18:46 PM PST by Tailgunner Joe
Florida Democratic Congressman Alan Grayson, the 17th richest Member of Congress with a net worth of $26 million, whose wife and children are currently on public assistance, took to his blog Wednesday to opine on why his party was beaten so handily in the midterm elections. It wasn’t policy, it wasn’t the economy, it wasn’t jobs, it was hatred of President Barack Obama.
In a post on his blog entitled, “The issue was Obama-hatred,” and featuring a picture of the president as the devil, the Democrat attacked the American people for having the attitude of, in his words, “We hate President Obama, and you should too.”
Citing a joke he claims to have overheard at Disney World when a father said, “Blame Obama, Shawn. It’s all Obama’s fault,” as his evidence, the Congressman best known for absurdist appearances on MSNBC and rambling House floor speeches, says hatred of the president is why Democrats now have so few representatives in government.
His analysis, littered with links to a page where people can donate to his reelection, is that Republicans “ran an issueless, issue-phobic campaign. I don’t remember any of them promising to suppress voting, prohibit all abortions, indulge polluters, give huge tax breaks to billionaires and multinational corporations, gut Social Security and Medicare and shred the right to organize – even though that’s exactly what they’re going to do. Instead, the Republicans said ‘Obama stinks, and we’re against him.’ In fact, that was all they said.” (Emphasis is his, where he embedded his fundraising link. The link has been removed.)
He concluded his post with (again, the bold is his, the links have been removed):
There was an oft-circulated post-election chart pointing out that Obama had slashed the federal deficit, slashed unemployment, increased consumer confidence, etc., etc. But I would venture to say that none of that matters to those voters who had become convinced that Obama is Beelzebub. Or Mephistopheles. Maybe both.A new Gallup poll show the Americans, by a margin of 53 to 36 percent, want Republicans to set the agenda for the country, not Obama. Gallup also found the popularity of the Democratic Party to be at an all-time low of just 36 percent.Obviously, there are other lessons to be learned from the 2014 election. One could, for instance, compare the 18-point loss of Mark Pryor, who campaigned as the Most Conservative Democrat in the Senate™, to the 11-point victory of, uh, me. Surely there are plenty of lessons to be learned from that compare-and-contrast.
But the only lesson that matters to the GOP is this: What President Clinton called “the politics of personal destruction” works for them – big time. Which is why I can predict, unfortunately, that over the next two years, we’ll be seeing a lot of this:
Courage,
Rep Alan Grayson
The sad part is that clown is worth a lot more than me. On second thought, no he is not.
I call BS on his pics of Obama and Hillary. I think he created them himself. If he hadn’t, we would’ve seen them here on FR a long time ago.
And Mr. Grayson, if you think those pics are evidence of hate against Obama, trust me, you really don’t want to go there. Really, you don’t. Just. Don’t.
Because if you do, we can point you to Zombietime where you can view page after hundreds of pages of left-wing pics and signs and demonstrations about Bush that make your Obama and Hillary pics look like Michelangelo’s Last Supper.
Truly, the psychotic hate is all on your side.
Quasimoto is back!
People often hate people who hate them first, and try to destroy them.
