Sadly, the republican machine went to work and made Alan a prime target to defeat and their goal was accomplished in the last election. Karl Rove, Roger Ayles, Fox News, Frank Luntz; et. al., use tons of money to stamp out those who are not afraid to speak the truth.The United States became the world's "Debtor Nation" as far back as September 2004, just two months before George Bush was re-elected to swerve the country for four more years. What a tradgedy this has led to.

When democrats see someone in need, they want bigger government to use everyone else's money to do something about it. That is like a virus that ultimately feeds off the organisim and destroys it. That kind of sucking off of taxpayers is not sustainable. Our fiscal crisis is ample evidence, but Democrats are obviously blind to this problem. It almost appears that democrats want to destroy this nation, good heart and all.

This guy...is just as bad as the Palins and Glenn Becks on then right. I am a Republican, but I am far from selfish. As our many other Republicans. It's not a view on whether or not we should give, but what the role of government ought to be. And yet, I refuse to stoop down to the namecalling on both sides. People like Alan Grayson and Jim DeMint are tearing our country apart at the seams. Yes, we can debate, yes we can disagree, but the name calling must stop.

@cybervore you do realize that your description is 100% accurate... if you apply it to the policies of the Bush administration that is. Under Obama, we have even lower taxes than under Bush. But under Bush, the size of government grew more than under any other president in history. Huge bailouts for corporations is socialism. Too big to fail is socialism. No bid contracts is socialism. Brother, better look behind you because you been had by your own kind.

What it means to be a democrat (yeah, no capital letter for them)...Higher taxes, Bigger Government, more entitlements, socialist policies, and so much more! Get obozo OUT OF OFFICE in 2012!
