Alan Grayson on the radio

[Iwillnevergiveup]

Grayson is a regular call-in to the Stephanie Miller Show every Thursday morning. Some snippets from today:

"Whatever the polls say, the Republicans ran the country into the ditch."

"In my district, I have 107% name recognition. 7% wish they didn't know me."

"You only have 3 friends in life - God, your mama and the Democratic party."

"700,000 more Democrats in Florida.."

"David Koch has dropped a quarter of a million dollars in my district to defeat me."

On the Beckapalooza: "These are people who were wearing sheets over their heads 25 years ago."

"2 million people showed up in the bitter cold to welcome in our new African-American president.
You're not going to see anything top that any time soon."

He also mentioned how Repubs have been hard at it ever since election night 2008 - on the front page of a local Florida newspaper, he was pictured kissing his wife after winning his first term in the House, his first elected office. The headline said "GRAYSON: A ONE TERM REPRESENTATIVE."

Frank Wolf (aka The Putz) is my rep, and he is indeed a putz.

7. Probably my favorite time of the week

"Face the Grayson." I make sure the bath water isn't running when he comes on.

8. I love this

"In my district, I have 107% name recognition. 7% wish they didn't know me."

It is probably close to being right. I'm in his district and there are 3 kinds of people.
People who love him, people who hate him, and people who can't make up their minds. But
EVERYONE knows him. Heck, there are folks that think he's their representative, but he isn't.
(The greater Orlando area has been carved up so that the GOP can still win even though the city is predominately democratic).
