Policy Director for Giuliani's 2008 presidential campaign

Does Avlon seem like he doesn't have a political agenda, does he seem like a person who could treat liberals & republicans equally, does he seem like a person who's not a biased partisan hack playing favoritism.
The only true Republican Conservative is Ron Paul and the party better realize that or else the Republicans and Democrats will pay a heavy price & a 3rd party will rise and take over.
Its inevitable a 3rd Party will come up. Americans are frustrated with both parties. I give Grayson credit for his stance on the Fed Reserve being audited and also being a trial lawyer that has taken on Halliburton but when it comes to HealthCare he just playing partisan politics. If hes smart he would beleive in an open competition with insurance companies nationwide competing for patient health coverage. Anytime the government takes over an entity it becomes less efficient and more expensive.
ie. Fannie Maye, Freddie Mac, FDIC, Social Security (all bankrupt or near bankrupt institutions) with taxpayers footing the bill and decreased services for the public.
For CNN everything is the same. Politics doesn't matter, a market niche matters, and they're trying to be the "centrists." But they suck. And what does "crying seems to be the new black" mean? Mixed metaphor in a totally mixed up MSM corporation.
"For CNN everything is the same. Politics doesn't matter, a market niche matters, and they're trying to be the "centrists." But they suck."
Yes. They do suck. Notice how they didnt even investigate whether or not the "K-Street whore" remark had merit. They only cared about the fact that he said it. Man CNN sucks now.
It's no wonder CNN is in LAST PLACE RIGHT? Ha... Americans know that Alan Grayson has huge brass balls... and is taking on the big corporate greed. CNN IS PATHETIC. By the way this report skews right because the wingnuttery on the left is 10% of what it is on the right. To pretend that these are equal problems is lying or really, really lazy journalism.
Alan Grayson is taking the fight to the GOP, and everyone gets all butthurt. So much for CNN and MSNBC being "liberal." Even THEY'RE going on the attack just b/c of the stuff he's said.
CNN is just desperate because they are loosing ratings. They are trying to appeal to the stupid viewers. May be they did a survey and found out that they outnumber normal people
Yeah, George Allen of Virginia who happens to have a R after his name, was almost crucified for his macaca comment, calling a woman a whore is O.K as long as you have a D after your name. Talk about a double standard, what a bunch of hypocrites the lefties are.
First I boycotted Faux, thats not correct, just quit watching it, more like, unless its on the net.
Congrats CNN .You dont have O-Rielly, Sean Vannity, Glen Beck, But, hehe, looks like it wont be long. CNN buhbye, just remember, the so called amatuers of broadcasting are winning and thank goodness
CNN and Fox should go and fist one another and get it over with.....TV news is dying as the internet and bloggers take over....I wish they would make a celeberty death match with all the news dorks....
Fucking idiots. You dont see them calling out the republicans when they say stupid shit like the earth is 6000 years old. They're trying to appeal to right wingers by doing that. They just dont get that the right hates CNN and all other form of media. They watch FoxNews and thats it.
I like how they are all freaked out by Grayson crying because he's been reading the stories of people losing beloved family members due to a lack of health care and Christian compassion.
Then for Malkin they are very calm and reasoned on her position.
One would have to be braindead to think CNN's bull makes any sense. It is the perfect example of false balance "hey there are nuts on both sides." In other words, regardless of the facts both sides are equally bad.
Except in reality there are next to zero moderate Repubs in Congress and talking about "left wing saboteurs" is retarded drivel.
More importantly Repubs do put the profits of their backers over the good of people and it does cost vast numbers of lives. They deserve more contempt.
Grayson didn't go far enough in characterizing how rotten they are. But in CNN's world actions have no consequences. Political leaders can pay off their donors at the cost of people's lives but CNN wants you to believe that there is no connection between the two.
CNN's position : Actions of corrupt political leaders have no consequences. Facts are irrelevant. Both sides must be presumed to be equally bad.
CNN has become so irrelevant! How can K Street be anything other than pimps and whores. So far Grayson is one of the few in DC who makes me feel like someone is speaking truth to power on behalf of We the People.
Exactly... Grayson has learned from the best of them on the Republican side. You make an inflammatory comment to bring attention to your cause. It works every time and finally, FINALLY, we have the country talking about Republican hypocrisy, corruption, thieves in our financial system, and healthcare.
I like that Grayson has guts and will return fire to the right wing nuts. He is taking it too far though. He risks putting himself in the same category as Glen Beck with the over the top crying, name calling and performance art.
Don't knock it... We wouldn't be talking about any of his causes without the theatrics. Its about time the Dems learned how to do that. Kucinich has been speaking out on the floor about the SAME issues for years, but he never gets on the news. The way to bring attention to your cause is with the razzle dazzle. Keep it coming, Grayson!
Like I said, I like his guts. It just seems he taking it too far when he calls a women a whore(even if the context is about her job performance) The discussion needs to be about the issue once he gets the attention. Be careful not to condone things you hate just because you like the guy doing it. Overall though GO GRAYSON
I quit watching CNN about a year ago because their news policy is to create enough smoke and mirrors to disguise their right-wing bias and pawn it off as covering "both sides of the story.". CNN is an insidious, very well disguised right-wing spin machine and far more dangerous than Fox.. I hope they soon get exposed for what they are.
I like Grayson. He does not seem to be a status quo pig. But who really knows. At least he is stating some truth and calling the other pigs on the carpet. Of course the 'news' dribble will not like a guy that doesn't go with the flow.
4:05 fiscal conservatives are the ones we should support who want to balance budgets and stop inflation. neo-conservatives are most republicans who don't mind deficit spending if they're killing people overseas with that money, and social conservatives are the ones who usually want a theocracy.
and neo-libs are people who think paper is fairy dust that grants wishes if sprinkled on a problem.
I disagree with a lot of what Alan Grayson stands for BUT I am sick and tired of corporatist propagandist on the so called news calling the Peoples Representatives names.
CNN, FOX, MSNBC are the WINGNUTS. Don't trust these paid liars.
Halliburton subsidiary KBR got $12 billion worth of exclusive contracts for work in Iraq. But even more shocking is how KBR spent some of the money. Former U.S. Army Corps of Engineers official Bunnatine Greenhouse is blowing the whistle on the Dick Cheneylinked company's profits of war - As for learning the real extent of malfeasance in Iraq, that may never happen

Former U.S. Army Corps of Engineers official Bunnatine Greenhouse is blowing the whistle on the Dick Cheneylinked company's profits of war - As for learning the real extent of malfeasance in Iraq, that may never happen
War and skyrocketing oil prices have been good to Halliburton's CEO David Lesar, whose stock in the company increased by an estimated $78 million since the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, a HalliburtonWatch analysis reveals. - On September 1, three days after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, he sold stock pursuant to his stock option plan, earning a one-day profit of $720,100. One week later, on September 8, he similarly earned a one-day profit of $782,000 by selling stock.
The Bush-Cheney team have turned the United States into a family business," says Harvey Wasserman, author of The Last Energy War (Seven Stories Press, 2000). "That's why we haven't seen Cheney - he's cutting deals with his old buddies who gave him a multimillion-dollar golden handshake. Have they no grace, no shame, no common sense? Why don't they just have Enron run America? Or have Zapata Petroleum (George W. Bush's failed oil-exploration venture) build a pipeline across Afghanistan?"
So grayson is a wingnut because he honored the dead americans? Kellogg, Brown and Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton, secured a 10-year deal known as the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP), from the Pentagon. The contract is a "cost-plus-award-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity service" which basically means that the federal government has an open-ended mandate and budget to send Brown and Root anywhere in the world to run military operations for a profit.

What needs to happen...no matter whom it is...is to bring back the Constitution and bring back the beliefs of the founders, Liberty and Freedom.
We have NO Liberty anymore...NO Freedom anymore...
Kick out the treasonous acting Democrats and Republicans, abolish the parties of "Democratic" and "Republican" and institute a party of "America"...
This country has gone so far away from its founding beliefs and principles that it should no longer be called America.
