"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."
(Thomas Jefferson)

Cong Alan Grayson (D-FL) is now on borrowed time -- Wants Obama to Fire Press Secretary Gibbs!

Help is on the way for the 8th Congressional District of Florida who are represented by Alan Grayson after the nomination of Daniel Webster as the GOP nominee to face Grayson on November 2nd. This is the year in Florida starting with the Governor's race where there is a clear cut difference between the two parties and voters will have a real choice between ultra liberals/progressives and conservatives.

Fortunately for the Country, Grayson is going to be a one-term member of Congress. Not too much can be said that is complimentary about Grayson from either Party. Grayson has now called on Obama to fire his Press Secretary Gibbs. Grayson, the 12th wealthiest person in the House and Vice Chair of the House Progressive Caucus, is the gift that keeps on giving for Republicans in the Orlando area looking to oust him as their embarrassing Congressman.




There is now relief in sight for the constituents of the 8th Congressional District of Florida which encompasses a large portion of Orlando. Webster as the GOP nominee is remembered as the the state House Republican Leader in the 1990s who engineered the successful Republican takeover of 1996, ending 122 years of Democrat control and becoming the first GOP Speaker of the House in over a century.

This is what former Governor Jeb Bush had to say about Dan Webster:




On November 2nd, 2010, voters of the Florida 8th District have an opportunity to send Alan Grayson to the unemployment line -- this may be one seat that the Democrats are also not interesting in defending.

BREAKING NEWS: WND's Miami Conference Dumps Florida Tea Party

This is great news that organizations like Florida GOP, the grassroots Tea Party people, and World Net Daily are fighting back against some of these Tea Party candidates who are obviously Democrat plants. We were complaining earlier this year that one Tea Party movement that we keep getting emails from several times a day only seemed to be interested in contributions but when looking into it closer discovered the group wasn't registered and money they collected was forwarded to another group. That raised the red flags.

As far as the Congressman Grayson is concerned, don't think he has an ethical bone in his body but he sure has a large mouth which is why he is known as Pelosi's attack dog. Hard to believe he was elected to Congress but then his district did have a lot of Mickey and friends votes. Couldn't ACORN come up with real names? Today he is going after the Obama Press Secretary calling him "Gibbs the Bozo" as witnessed on the video at Hot Air.

World Net Daily has the details about what is happening in Florida with the 'Florida Tea Party' who is running candidates and should not be confused with the grassroots Tea Party people in Florida. The Democrats are hoping people will get confused but knowledge of what is happening will stop the unethical Florida Democrats led by Grayson in their tracks.

WND's Miami conference dumps Florida Tea Party
Organization sued by Republicans, accused of being front for Democrats

BREAKING NEWS
August 12, 2010

WND has rejected sponsorship of its "Taking America Back National Conference" in Miami next month by the Florida Tea Party after an investigation of the group concluded it was misrepresenting itself.

"We are returning the money this group paid for sponsoring the conference and rejecting its participation," said Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND. "This event and the tea party movement are not about making money. They are about changing the direction of our country. It's clear to me that the Florida Tea Party movement has an agenda all its own."

Unlike the estimated 90 grass-roots tea party groups in the state, the Florida Tea Party is fielding candidates under its banner. The grass-roots activists fear Florida Tea Party candidates will give Democratic Party candidates such as Rep. Alan Grayson an advantage by siphoning conservative votes from Republican opponents.

According to published reports today, including in the Orlando Sentinel, the Florida Republican Party has launched several legal challenges to the Florida Tea Party, which registered itself with state election officials and is fielding some 20 candidates in state and federal elections, including three key House races. The lawsuits allege election law violations.

The Sentinel report said activists in the state's tea party movement have alleged the Florida Tea Party is confusing voters by co-opting the tea party name and running candidates under its name.

"The [party] appears to be an organized effort to confuse and mislead conservative voters and is not a part of the real tea party movement," Don Hensarling, a state tea party activist who filed the lawsuits announced in a news release obtained by the paper.

The Orlando paper also cited an investigation by WKMG-TV in Orlando alleging financial links between Grayson and a co-founder of the Florida Tea Party, longtime political consultant and anti-tax activist Doug Guetzloe.

Goetzloe insisted to WND the only connection is Grayson's purchase of advertising on his radio show, "The Guetzloe Report." Guetzloe points to his "tea party bona fides" dating back to 1997. He's founder of the anti-tax group Ax the Tax, which, he says, has saved Florida taxpayers some $11 billion. He has served as co-chair of the Central Florida Tea Party, he argues, and attended multiple tea party events. He has promoted all tea party events on his radio show, he notes.

A leader in the state tea party movement, Tom Tillison of the Tea Party Patriots Live radio show and the Orlando Tea Party, told WND he and other tea party leaders in the state with whom he regularly communicates think the Florida Tea Party was set up to split the conservative vote and keep Democrats like Grayson in office.

In its legal action, the Florida GOP claims there are problems with the election paperwork of four of the Florida Tea Party members: Peg Dunmire, who is challenging Grayson; Dunmire's son, Darrin, in state House District 40; Dunmire's housemate, Juanita Virone, in state House District 35; and Jonathan Foley, in state House District 41.

Peg Dunmire has explained, the Sentinel said, she paid for other candidates' filing fees. But the complaints allege the transactions are considered campaign contributions, which is forbidden before campaigns open their own accounts.

The cases seek to allow Hensarling and others to take testimony from the candidates and examine their bank records to look for proof of an election law violation, the newspaper said.

Grayson, in a statement to the paper, compared the Republican Party of Florida to "a dying iguana with an arrow through its skull. It was thrashing around in a way very much like the Republican Party of Florida does today."

Politico has reported
allegations of links between tea party factions and Democrats in several other states. FoxNews.com has published a similar report, citing cases in New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Nevada as well as Florida.

Farah said the scheduled conference in Miami will focus on the real issues.

"We hope real tea party groups all across Florida and the U.S. join us in Miami next month to celebrate the political rebirth of this country and help us strategize about the future," he said.

The plan is "to arm attendees with actionable intelligence," says Farah.

Grayson crashes local GOP meeting, tells Orange mayoral critic “take a walk”

Cong Grayson from Orlando caught on tape being his obnoxious self -- that should be a targeted seat to defeat Grayson, the Democrat. The man is mentally unstable at times as witnessed in the video:



U.S. Rep Alan Grayson, D-Orlando, walked in on an Orange County Republican Executive Committee meeting Thursday night at a Perkins restaurant and got into a confrontation with county mayoral candidate Matthew Falconer, a tense face-off caught by a couple cell phone cameras.

In the video, Grayson reads from a flier that describes a recent Republican infiltration of a pro-Obama group, and a promise to dish those details at this next GOP meeting. Grayson chides the Republican attendees for sinking so low as to spy on the other side.

Today, Grayson said he was attending a community home owner’s association meeting in another part of the restaurant that night, and decided to share his displeasure with the contents of the flier with the GOP party members.

“That’s political dirty tricks,” Grayson said today. “I went over to find out what their side of the story was, and whether they approved of that.”

Soon after he finishes reading the flier, Falconer demands Grayson apologize to Lew Oliver for what he said about him in a recent email: “Oliver couldn’t find his rear end with both hands, unless there was a twenty-dollar bill sticking out of it.” Falconer and Grayson encourage one another to leave in a pretty heated face-to-face.

“I gave them a chance to explain how they felt about it, and they didn’t do a very good job,” Grayson said today. “The Republican Party is resorting to its Nixonian roots: corruption, lying and spying.”

There’s sloppy cell-phone videos of this encounter roaming around, but WDBO posted the cleanest, albeit sometimes crooked version of it:

Why would Alan Grayson want to give your money over to Native American child molesters?



Do any of the Democrats know what is in this bill? Every day someone finds something like this that the Democrats supported by voting YES. The Senate Democrats voted down Dr. Coburn's (R-OK) amendment to defund Viagara and any other ED drugs from being given to sexual predators which is allowed in the bill. Was getting the Obama Socialist Healthcare bill through Congress and signed more important than what is actually in the bill? Beginning to look more and more like that is the case. The so-called 'reconciliation didn't fix enough to matter' as the Democrats kept voting down Republican amendments that would have provided some fixes.

Remember November 2nd, 2010, is the day for Americans to stand up and be counted by voting against these Socialist Democrats who support a bill that includes supporting child molestors and sexual pradators, causes business' to stop offering healthcare, and drives the costs up for everyone for starters. Americans should have gotten a clue when Medicare costs rose this year while Obama stopped a raise to their Social Security benefit check each month so senior citizens went in the hole thanks to Obama.

Obama: Grayson an outstanding member of Congress

If we are known by the company we keep, then it doesn't say much about the President with his calling Grayson an outstanding member of Congress. Does that mean Obama agrees with Grayson's calling Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, a “K Street whore” in a month-old radio interview that circulated on Capitol Hill Monday night. Members of both parties slammed him for that remark but now we have the President saying he was an 'outstanding member of Congress?'

Then we have this from Grayson's appearance on MSNBC Hardball on Oct 22, 2009:

Grayson: Cheney Has 'Blood That Drips From His Teeth'

Here's Rep. Alan Grayson's money comment on Hardball last night, where the loudmouthed freshman congressman compares former Vice President Dick Cheney to a vampire:

REP. ALAN GRAYSON: “By the way, I have trouble listening to what [Cheney] says sometimes because of the blood that drips from his teeth while he’s talking, but my response is this: he’s just angry because the president doesn’t shoot old men in the face. But by the way, when he was done speaking, did he just then turn into a bat and fly away?”
What has this Nation come to with this President who praises a Congressman that has no class, not even a little. Both sides of the aisle (except for leadership) are slamming Grayson. Guess the conclusion you can draw is that Grayson is saying what Obama and the House Leadership wishes they could say.

Time for Grayson to leave Florida and resettle in Chicago where he would fit right in with the rest of the Chicago thugs.

Obama: Grayson an outstanding member of Congress

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is drawing criticism from his congressional colleagues, but President Obama offered him some warm words at a Miami fundraiser for the Democratic congressional campaign committees last night.Obama, in introducing the members of Congress in attendance, called Grayson – along with Florida Reps. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Kendrick Meek – as “outstanding members of Congress.”

Obama may regret his praise of Grayson, who is now drawing fire from members in both parties for referring to Linda Robertson, the adviser to Obama’s Fed Chief Ben Bernanke as a “K Street whore” in a radio interview last month. And he’s received national attention for equating GOP opposition to the Democrats’ health care plan to wanting sick seniors to “die quickly.

”This isn’t the first time the White House political operation has given an assist to Grayson’s re-election prospects. He was the first freshman Democrat in the House to receive political help from Vice President Joe Biden, who came down to Orlando to headline a fundraiser for him in August.

During the event, the vice president told Grayson: “We owe you one buddy…This is a guy who doesn't back away from a fight, and doesn't back down from what he believes in."That much is clear, and even as Grayson continues to draw national controversy for his provocative comments, it doesn't look like the administration is making any effort to distance themselves from him.

Grayson calls Republicans 'knuckle-dragging Neanderthals'

We have a new word to add to the Democrat vocabulary of what they call Republicans -- 'knuckle-dragging Neanderthals' added to racist, and members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. We are sure there are more. The Congressional Democrats continue to show a lack of class. Wonder if Grayson would have been elected without ACORN voter fraud? Grayson is working his way up the list of GOP targets for 2010 with his comments. Time for 'Neanderthal Republicans' to send Grayson to the Unemployment Line in 2010.

When is Pelosi going to ask that the House vote on the actions of Grayson on the floor of the House like she did Wilson? I wouldn't hold my breath!

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Freshman Congressman Alan Grayson refused to back down Wednesday from controversial remarks he made on the House floor the night before saying the Republican health care plan calls for sick people to "die quickly."

In fact, Grayson — a Democrat who represents a central Florida swing district that includes Orlando — made another floor speech in which he apologized to the dead and their families for not acting sooner on health care reform, and then defended both speeches on CNN's "The Situation Room."
