We Are #1! #1 in Right-Wing Attacks Against Us!

I feel so proud!

I must be doing something right.

This is my first term in Congress. I have no seniority. I don’t sit on the most powerful committees, like the Appropriations Committee or the Ways and Means Committee. I’m not a member of the Democratic Leadership. So why would these right-wing groups spend nearly 20 percent of their entire national budget to try to defeat me?

Because I can’t be bought. I won’t do what they tell me to do. And I won’t back down.

There are 12,000 registered federal lobbyists. That’s more than 20 for every member of Congress. From Election Night onward, they try to buy you. And if they can’t buy you, then they try to bury you. Which is what is happening now.

My vote is not for sale.

I owe nothing to anyone but the voters. I won’t go to the lobbyists for help. That’s why they’re trying to take me out. The only one to whom I can turn is . . . you.
Etc, etc.  Blah, blah.

Predictably, the DUmmies respond.  It's not really worth reading, but here are the response titles:

If that really is Grayson how pitiful and desperate he is.
Pretty much an even bigger fool then one already thought as mining the DUmp for donations is like looking in the lion cage for left over meat...you won`t find any.

These are your ilk Alan,every thought starts with "gimme".

he's fund raising off of them.  what's the old saying about a fool and his money? (and politico said none of the things he said they did) 

right now, the unhappiest person in the world is $kinner.  all of his dummies are about to blow their lunch money, and he has another quarterly donation drive around the corner.

Whoever is running against Grayson should be informed that the nincompoop is posting at the DUmp.  His opponent could have an absolute field day with him.

You're right about that!  Isn't this the DUmbass (Alan Grayson) who made up that horrible commercial about his opponent saying "Women should submit to him ..."  When in fact he said the opposite and they cut off the first part of the statement?

there's a good idea.  "your opponent, alan grayson, is posting at the internet website where they alleged that george bush caused the sumatra tsunami because "his bombs" in iraq and afghanistan had damaged the earth."

His opponent is Daniel Webster, and the NY Times projects a 68% chance that Webster will beat Grayson.

Here is Webster's website:

I absolutely don't have the time to contact his staff or him, but I think it would be worth it if someone can.

Before we get carried away with Alan Grayson joining DU----
   
Can we get some verification from the Admins that he indeed has?

14. Thanks Trumad.
   
I agree, we're always so anxious to welcome new 'stars' to DU sometimes we forget that this is the internets and anyone can come up with a screen name and borrow some 'validating credentials' over at Wiki or on someone's official bio page that we wouldn't really know the difference.

Would it really be in Representative Grayson's best interests - in an election year - to be spending time on an internet message board? Doesn't he have other things he can be doing with his time? And do we really think DU is that powerful in the scheme of national politics? C'mon now.

We're supposed to be the smarter party, remember? Let's stop a second, think, and verify.

17. Multiple names
   
I'm sure that there are multiple individuals that share the name "Alan Grayson". So, which one is this one?

21. My only comment is
   
Why would any politician in their right mind join DU? Nearly every other person who has done similar has grown to regret their choice and left DU not long after.
