Alan Grayson pissed off a lot of Republicans...
He was blunt. He was honest. And they found that offensive.
Now he is in trouble in his re-election. The only way he can win his race is if he gets more people to the polls than his opponent. Pretty basic politics.
How does he do that? That is the challenge.
Once people give money to a candidate, they have an investment in that candidate. Most of the time, they will vote for that candidate.
But it is not just money. It is a yardsign. It is a bumpersticker. In my opinion, the last week of Grayson's campaign should be spent on door-to-door canvassing and distributing yardsigns and bumperstickers and literature. People need to feel they have an "investment" in the candidate. In my opinion, this would be more effective than television ads.

Yeah he is so honest he took a quote from his opponent and, made it appear he was saying the exact opposite of what he said.
Real stand up guy he is.
I wish I lived in the 8th district so I could vote his ass out.
Luckily though I get to vote Alan Boyd out. He was the guy that some have said was the deciding vote on Obama care. After he swore up and down he would vote no.

1. Alan Grayson pissed off a lot of Republicans by being a Democrat
unapologetically.
Vive la difference!
Hell just being a Republican is a capital offense to some of you goons.

6. Happily, Orlando, FL is also home to a huge amount of liberals...
Look no further than a large chunk of the Disney employees...
The doomsayer attitude is bunk. He got elected 2 years ago did he not?
Let's get it done!
Look at the bright side DUmmies, when he loses he can help stimulate the economy by getting unemployment checks.

4. Things like "truth" and "facts" tend to piss Republicans off... Updated at 9:08 AM
...especially when they come from an unapologetic progressive.
Uh huh this from the people who want to crucify Juan Williams for stating a truth.
The same people who want Beck, Rush, and Hannity off the air for telling the truth.
The goons claim that they lie yet when pushed to name just one lie they hem and haw and say well he's told so many I can't think of just one.

Nov 3 can't get here fast enough.

I just thought he was a kook.

Yeah me too, he's in the Dennis Kook-cinich class of morons. He's never pissed me off. He's just a politician for goodness sake.

Remember the "Taliban Dan" ad? Apparently, "unapologetic progressive" means a batshit crazy liar...
:whatever:

That idiot is so loosely-moored to reality as we know it that I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up doing a long stretch of time for violent felonies before he finally checks out of the net for the last time. He really gives me a very bad feeling.

Wow. I would be so fuming mad I wouldn't know what to do. How do the prospects look? My creep voted for it, too, but never said he wouldn't. He just ignored his mail. Sent the phone to the answering machine. We don't have a lot of polling for NY23, the last one, done by the inaccurate Sienna, had them within 5 points of each other. Probably with a +-20 margin of error.
I see all kinds of yardsigns for the R, Doheney, and only 1 for the D, Owens.

NY-20 has gone to "Toss Up" in the latest Cook report. It was "Leans Democratic." I got an email from MAF where they're now including Chris Gibson in their funding.
ETA: New poll from the local Fox affiliate. NY-20 goes from Murphy +17% one month ago to Gibson +9% with one week to go. Maybe that's why we're getting the Clenis up here next Monday.

Steve Southerland sounds like a solid conservative he seems to be killing Boyd in the polls.

Yeah, because that Alan Grayson is such a stand-up guy! ::) :whatever:
He needs to lose his job. :-)

2. But what can we do?
We are the civil, kind people. We love nature, we love abused people and animals. We love the weak. We so want to help everyone. But now the Republicants will have all the money. I've been trying to collect money for Alan Grayson. All I got in three days was $8.00. We need help.

DimesforDorks would probably yield much better results.
Or, maybe DinarsforDUmmys...

Don't complain DollarDem, because you would have gotten A LOT less from me. Mostly a lot of mocking and laughing. :loser:

Poor Alan was trying so hard to be the Left's version of Mark Levin, but missed the boat by around 60 IQ points or so.
Abrasive and smart is provocative, Al. Abrasive and dumb is just, well, dumb.
