Rep Alan Grayson: I Speak Tonight In Support of Peace

[Charmer4856]

GET EM GRAY....true patriot here....anyone else wanna step up and grow some balls like this fella from Florida?

[Bigleg75]

How refreshing to se an honest man speaking on the floor of the congress.

[talllikelurchis]

And what should we of done after America was attacked killing thousands of our citizens ....Nothing Mr. Grayson?...Are we a country that doesn't defend our people? National Economy is more at risk.....with illegal immigrants and wel-fare cockroaches ........Tell the truth Mr. Grayson! ......Social entitlement programs for scumbag mooching leeches cost more than both wars combined....What an arrogant lying piece of crap Alan Grayson is!

[finerbiner]

@talllikelurchis The problem with fools is that the only two colors are black and white. There are a multitude of options between doing nothing and starting two wars, one of which is already the longest war in US history.

[talllikelurchis]

@finerbiner For one we did not start two wars.........the radical muslims started it with us when the started slamming airplanes into buildings killing Americans.......Dis-Grayson...­.here doesn't believe that America is worth defending.........May Grayson burn in hell for his hatred to his country!

[finerbiner]

@talllikelurchis We did start two wars. To say that anyone who disagrees with an imbecile(ears burning) hates their country or is not willing to defend it just makes you morally bankrupt. What I'm not going to do is try to explain the multitude of options short of deficit spending on an historic level that could have been tried. My dog would be more receptive and understand better.

[talllikelurchis]

@finerbiner You notice how American hating liberals attack our military ......to only save money.........what about the countless scumbag cockroaches living off welfare and foodstamps......you notice that the American haters like Dis-Grayson only wants to attack our military......and the sickest part ........that makes the Dumotards proud of him........What ever happened to people that love their country enough to at least support their military......

[finerbiner]

@talllikelurchis Hey dumb ass, Osama Bin Ladin has said over and over that his goal was to get the US to waste their treasure on foreign wars. Thanks to non thinking fools that is exactly what we are doing.

We are going bankrupt because of deficit spending on wars. Also because of medicare and medicaid(which are tax supported) which have skyrocketed along with all health care costs.

So go ahead and blow the military contractors while taking it from behind by the medical industry and smile!

[talllikelurchis]

@finerbiner Dis-Grayson just helped pass the most terrible death-care bill in history.... With politicians like Dis-Grayson.  we don't need Osama Bin Ladins influence to bankrupt America, the Democraps are doing it on their own!

[finerbiner]

@talllikelurchis Healthcare costs are escalating out of control. If you disagree with that statement there is no purpose to talk with you because you deny plain ffact. Question is"what do we do about it". The bill that was passed was shit, I agree. We got more giveaways and no cost savings/controls.

The Dems and GOP are equally responsible for this. The dems for being whimps and the GOP for only caring about the drug / ins lobbies. only seeing one side just makes you obtuse/ignorant or stupid

[talllikelurchis]

@finerbiner since 1965 is when government became in the healthcare business..causing it to escalate ...the very same party that forced healthcare up ..is the same party that took it over..if only 10% of the population is without healthcare why do 100% change for such a small number,,, why not simply subsidize the 10% ..because they wanted to control that part of the private sector.(SOCIALISM) One of Dis-Grayson lies is that 47,000 people died because of no insurance..that's bull and you know it!

[virtual4desires]

Thomas jefferson said, "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

[virtual4desires]

Americans are lost, we have no real leader to direct us towards the way to correcting what's going on. Everyone is raising the same issues but no real leader ship. We have a president that is tearing this country apart and i am just in shock how our goverment has no real oversight to watch what this administration is doing and put a stop to this. In this day in age it seems that anyone who is elected to president can have a bad agenda that they wanna carry out with no one to stop it.

[virtual4desires]

Alot of americans are depressed, depressed that we are loosing out country and the fact that people just don't care anymore or else something would have long been done about it. The voting system is corrupt, goverment is corrupt. There is massive corruption in ever part of life in america like it has never been. What is happening to america! The very people we have elected to represent we the people are hold back room deals right before out eye's and emerge with the very people in the spot light

[SherrieLeaLaird]

Grayson You have enough power to be the next PRESIDENT!! you should make that happen. You will have everyone eating out of your hand. Specially me. Make it happen. Totally come home to us, the sheeple. The sheeple are useless eaters I must admit. Many suck so hard. They can't even think for themselves at all. But one or two or three, at least me, who is not possessed has to be far more interesting than the ones who are. I am waiting for you to b Prez with open arms. It has to happen. UR Free xo

[cyoohoos]

why is that place empty? If we pay them don't they have to show up for work?

[SherrieLeaLaird]

@cyoohoos yes I have noticed this on tv for years (dont watch tv now tho, but back then)

[hwydaddy]

Rep. Grayson Rocks.............Keep up the good work.

[TheUnitedStatists]

here's some facts that might disturb your liberal reality (Rasmussen) Ohio Senate: Portman (R) 43% Fisher (D) 39% Kentucky Senate: Paul (R) 49% Conway (D) 42% Missouri Senate: Blunt (R) 48%, Carnahan (D) 43% Louisiana Senate: Vitter (R) 53%, Melancon (D) 35% Utah Senate: Lee (R) 58% Granato (D) 28% Washington Senate: Murray (D) 47%, Rossi (R) 47% North Carolina Senate: Burr (R) 44% Marshall (D) 43% Nevada Senate: Angle 48%, Reid 41% North Dakota Senate: Hoeven (R) 73%, Potter (D) 19%

[refuckulate420]

This war is only bankrupting our country and making a handful of people so rich it's disgusting. All this war has done is create new insurgents, new terrorists, new criminals.

[gerry1976]

Alan Grayson is the only politician, that lives, behaves, breaths, and thinks as a normal person and not as a politician, and that's a very good thing.

We need more politicians as Mr. Grayson.

[christmasdnc]

@gerry1976

The only? Wow... He's great but he's not the only one. Instead of being a fanboy help unite common goal politicians rather than praise only one... how does that help?

[TheUnitedStatists]

yes lets defund our troops, defund the defense budget so pelosi and this douche can give every person in this country (legal or not) free healthcare and 2 more years of unemployment... yay for liberal utopia!!!!

[refuckulate420]

@TheUnitedStatists

Uhmm..you are a moron. Republicans love to complain about spending....unless it comes to war. Of course it's because they are in the pockets of the defense industry and love to serve the military industrial complex. Some democrats too, but republicans are ultimate hypocrites on this.

We also need to end this stupid liberal vs conservative hate mongering and bashing because our country will simply crumble if we continue to divide ourselves.

[TheUnitedStatists]

@refuckulate420 so how do you suggest we spend other peoples money? and by the way liberals are scum they are somewhere between petty thieves and rapists in my book, and I have no intention on stopping my "hate mongering" until these pieces of shit are humiliated and thrown out of office in november and hussein is voted out in 2012.

[refuckulate420]

@TheUnitedStatists

Well we have no use for people like you in our country. You can join the hate mongers that flew an airplane into a building on 9/11. You are a completely ignorant and worthless human being that should be eiliminated from the gene pool without remorse.

[TheUnitedStatists]

@refuckulate420 i thought pot heads were accepting and "chill" I have a question for you and all you other liberal fucks. Who do you steal from when every corporation, every wealthy individual, and job creators move out of the country? who's gonna pay your bitch ass not to work, or for your pre-existing condition? ever read the book Atlas Shrugged? go smoke a bowl and beat off you douche bag.

[refuckulate420]

People as hate filled and ignorant as you will be your own destruction. So keep hating because it's not going to accomplish. You do realize the country is made up of a lot more then just liberals and conservatives, right? Of course not, you are too stupid to realize anything outside of your narrow minded little world. You see things in black and white, you are the most irrational, illogical type there is. Just like the fools who strap bombs to themselves, you are no different. Just a coward.

[refuckulate420]

@TheUnitedStatists

No one is going anywhere, btw. So I guess you are going to deal with it until you get old and shrivel up and die :). Great way to live your life hahah...oh my.

[TheUnitedStatists]

@refuckulate420 well it seems obvious you watch either ABC/CBS/NBC/MSNBC or the young douches, they like to create their fantasy world where the stimulus is actually working for the private sector, and the Bush tax cuts were why people defaulted on loans, and cheney caused the oil spill etc because early polling suggests that the democRATS are going to lose the house, the senate might be a tall order since 6 years ago not too many leftist fags were elected to the senate but its still in play.

[refuckulate420]

@TheUnitedStatists

Do I care what you think? Nope. You've already made it apparent you have nothing good to say.  Haters will hate, doesn't affect me any.

[TheUnitedStatists]

@refuckulate420 since i only get 500 characters i had to cut short my right wing rant, but nobody's going anywhere huh? Blanche Lincoln, Arlen Spectre, Harry Reid those names ring a bell? I guess all that THC has distorted your reality, and you still didn't answer my question and I'm not suprised because no liberal has never answered that question, I guess once Keith Olbermann comes up with a BS answer to it, then you'll regurgitate it back to me, until then go fuck yourself liberal vermin.

[refuckulate420]

@TheUnitedStatists

ROFL you sure are a good laugh, keep it up buddy. Let your ignorance shine.

[TheUnitedStatists]

@refuckulate420 ignorant huh? I posted some current polling data from a reputable source you'll never see on MSNBC, so once again get out your pipe/bong/joint/boyfriends butthole or whatever you use to get off and go back to your fantasy land where liberals hold onto power past november, you still laughing now douche bag? I didnt even include the governor polling

[refuckulate420]

@TheUnitedStatists

LOL oh god polling....my life is over. I guess you forgot I don't care what you think.

[refuckulate420]

@TheUnitedStatists

I'm not a liberal, never said I was. Labels are for sheep.

[timongarretson]

@TheUnitedStatists Along those lines, in April of 2010, a Rasmussen poll placed Ron Paul to get 41% of the vote and Obama 42% of the vote if they were to have had an election for President of the United States on that day. Part of Ron Paul's platform is to end the War on Drugs in order to restore individual liberty and personal choice. He would also like to end the 2 (undeclared) wars and cut military spending. He would also not block same-sex marriages. Ron Paul (R-Tx)

[TheUnitedStatists]

@timongarretson he has a D in front of his name which means he's voted item for item with the Hussein agenda so I hope he dies and dies quickly

[Meatpieandtatters]

Political celebrity monger.

[DojoNDude]

Keep plugging away, Allen! RIGHT and HISTORY are on your side. Obama may be president, but you're the smartest man in the room and loved by the good people of this country.

[mathmexican4234]

Very succinct little speech, I liked it.

[Charmer4856]

Get em GRAY

[AtheistdotEDU]

Why are there only about 10 people working there, ever? :)

[cymonebreathe]

@AtheistdotEDU I know! I wonder the same thing. Where are our representatives??

[sexcation]

@AtheistdotEDU, well, someone has to keep the golf courses in business.

[beachnative420]

@AtheistdotEDU because some of those blow hards put each other to sleep. So now they can watch from their office desk, LAZy POS's

[martinpoldma7]

Grayson as the next president - wouldn't mind seeing that happen... :)

[GhostOfTheWriter]

@martinpoldma7 That would be awesome.

[Mattmon2]

@martinpoldma7 Alan Grayson for president!

[Stonehawk]

shit. I wish we had more smart, gutsy politicians like Grayson. Praising a stupid candidate because you hate smart politicians is like praising a pedophile candidate because you hate politicians that don't like children. -_-

[SkreetGil]

Oh well you tried...you can't beat the corporations. After all, they are better people than us.

[blue46gt]

GO GRAYSON! PEACE FTW!

[charliebaird13]

Word

[WhiteStarWoman]

Where the heck is everyone else in chambers? Out spending lobbyist bribes? Do they not think this is an important subject?

[mrscot]

Right on dude!

[mercenarybdu]

we've been bankrupt and its time to get out of those places and take on the real enemies at home and over in the banker run NATO Countries.

[refuckulate420]

YES end these shit wars. Republicans are fucking hypocrites. Spending is soooo bad UNLESS it's the defense industry who lobbys the fuck out of you to pursue a war that can never be won.

The sick part about all of this is there is a handful of people who profit immensly from these wars. You want to talk about cutting defecits? Well end these wars and cut military spending. Republicans stop being hypocrites...if spending is bad then you should be fine with ending these wars.

[sealhunter5]

@refuckulate420 Life would be great if you are right ?

But lets face it both parties are corrupt everyone one who has a brain stem knows these wars are wrong! Cant blame anyone NOW ! We are here ,Lets get out of these wars and get the federal government back to doing what is supposed to do LISTEN TO ITS EMPLOYERS THE PEOPLE!

Great comment though.

[refuckulate420]

@sealhunter5

Yes both parties are corrupt you are right but let's be honest...one of them is the lesser of 2 evils.. by quite a margin.  One fact of the matter is republicans do constantly criticize about spending, unless it comes to wars and military of course.

There is something seriously backwards about this country. Many people need to be thrown out of office but I don't think Mr. Grayson is one of them.

[sealhunter5]

@refuckulate420 NO! TO throw the crooks out that are against the people, We have to stop comparing a cobra to a water moccasin, They both can kill you !

WE have to stop voting for the proverbial lesser of two evil syndrome .

NO The change begins with NON party candidates not these Stage bands that are presented to us to choose from!

When we know they are corrupt this is why they have CIONED the phrase (lesser of the two evils)

BAD IS BAD under any name! you are on the right track! Alan can stay

[refuckulate420]

@sealhunter5

Of course. Americans need to wake up and stop voting with emotion and start voting with their brains. Americans have always voted largely based on emotional reasons, which is wrong.

Of course our political system encourages it because it's easier for them to achieve individual agendas instead of actually serving the people. This country is quickly on it's way to the shitter if people don't stop being so apathetic.

[sealhunter5]

@refuckulate420 Now that is an unbiased statement ,now as people that know how these parties divide the communities through media exposure People like Alan are exposing it ,though he does get pressure to play politics through his affiliation of a party !

Only if WE THE PEOPLE ,abolish the party system then and only then can those who are elected can begin working for the people !

Spread the your words of wisdom. without division,

Divide we all fall.

[Spentastic]

@sealhunter5 @sealhunter5 I agree but who am I? A nobody who lives in Australia much the same as you are a nobody from the states. If you were a somebody you could do something. American politics works by rich somebodies running the show. You are not one of them, your opinions don't count.

ps. See Rupert Murdoch for the definition of a somebody (enemy numero uno).

[sealhunter5]

@Spentastic WRONG as long as man has breath in his lungs he has a duty amongst his fellow man to speak up against oppression of any form!

To point out the truth to his last breath!

AS long as you are this earth this is your duty!

It all starts with a nobody!

[Spentastic]

@sealhunter5 That's the spirit! The 'nothing left to lose' mentality helps too. A large group of people with nothing left to lose is frightening force indeed. If they are uninformed however they can be turned against their own interests by those who they should be fighting. The 'Tea Party' in the US is a good example of a misled mob of idiots.

[SherrieLeaLaird]

OhMyGod, got chills and am Madly in love again!!!! phewwww

I just thought my boy was gone. No matter what the Gov't has gotten themselves into. Or even in the case of Bush Jr....it's not his fault...it's not their fault if their into all that stuff from being children.....They will be foregiven!!!! I know the Gov is so out of it right now and scarily corrupt...They will be loved. I wish they would all say a speech like this. You are the MAN GRAYSON. I never stopped adoring you!!!! Sher

[damicuis]

A good speech, short but sweet and delivering a powerful message... Alan Grayson for President 2016!!!

[piecarbob]

there is just too much money at stake for the bankers to end the wars.

[CupboardNinja]

Excellent speech.
