What do you think?

What does the latest controversy say about Alan Grayson?

* He's either a flake or a publicity seeker. Either way he's not a good representative of his district.
* He's one of the last politicians willing to tell the truth and confront the lies told by right wingers.
* Love him or hate him, he is a savvy politician.
* He doesn't represent me, so I don't care.

[malaise]

4. Just the truth

Love him.

[Divine Discontent]

5. I'd like to keep him, unless he runs for the highest office, then we can all share... :)

[pinboy3niner]

9. Hey, madokie, I'll be happy to arm-wrestle you for him

We sure could use him in my very red district in CA. My rep is Buck McKeon, and I'd love to trade him in . . .

24. Seriously...

I fucking HATE Tom Cole.
Douche. Bag.

[madokie]

28. Not a one of our states reps is worth the water to make the spit

to spit on them. All douche bags

3. I'd like to see him move to the White House in 2017 and represent all of us.

I love that man.

6. Holy fucking nutsuckers, Batman!

That poll IS surprising! I did my part to make it a bit MORE surprising.

[tritsofme]

16. What always surprises me

is that anybody cares what an internet polls says...

[Divine Discontent]

17. it's a human trait that can't be stopped - even you had to look.

and since that's the case - other Dems should take a strong note about smacking the facts strongly back at the Party of No.

[tritsofme]

18. I thought it would be a real poll.

I've just never understood the point in running up the score on an internet poll and patting yourself on the back as if it means something.

[Divine Discontent]

19. 19000 votes? those were there before I posted it on DU, and DU usually would only generate a few

hundred votes.

[GrantDem]

7. Looks like some other Dems should look at the results.

Granted this is just an internet poll but it shows the results of actually standing for something.

[Divine Discontent]

21. Fox 35 is doing a piece on him at 10pm about his Perkins restaurant engagement, saying that his

reasons for going there might not be matching up. or something like that (just saw the preview)

[JuniperLea]

14. 90% now!

I wonder if they were expecting that:)

[tomg]

15. I just did. It is 90% now.

I have to admit, my rep Hinchey is one of the good guys, too.

[tabbycat31]

20. same

and my rep (Frank Pallone) is one of the good guys too.

[2Design]

22. orlando sentinel is rw and has these crappy polls against dems all the time n/t

[Divine Discontent]

26. and he's at 91% approval in poll! I just watched FOX 35's hit piece on him, and the guys in the GOP

group he confronted claim he told them he only did it because he loves attention and making himself better known, and, that they weren't planning on joining Dem groups, but only relaying a story they heard from other people, and that the Congressman took it wrong...


LOL...


asshats.

[and-justice-for-all]

23. Grayson will kick your ass!! nt

[bluethruandthru]

30. That's my Rep! nt

[fl_dem]

31. 92%

I just love that guy!!!

[Hawkeye-X]

32. My Democratic rep is equally as good.

Diana DeGette has been a stem-cell research advocate, also a pro-choice (she headed off Stupak and beat him down), and an all-around great gal, certainly living up to Pat Schroeder's shadow. Can't ask for anyone better.

If I was asked to make a Prez/VP choice - I'd say Grayson/DeGette right off the bat :) - The duo would make McCain/Palin look like neanderthals.
