I stand by what I said," Grayson told reporters on Wednesday. "Asked if he was worried about his re-election in an Orlando-based swing district, Grayson said his chances of winning are better. "It improves them," he said. "People like elected officials with guts who say what they mean.

Republicans, hoping to foster their own Joe Wilson moment, demand an apology after freshman Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), a gerontology major from Orlando, says during evening speeches: 'The Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly.

I love it Sister Irma, but too bad he may not get re-elected for up setting the apple cart. What he said ...desperately needed to be said. Rep Grayson appears to be a man with deep convictions.

Oh yeah...that apology was sweet. He apologized to the dead and their loved ones.

Girl, he was on the Rachael Maddow program tonight in an interview.I was even more impressed with him when I found out he has only been there for 9 months!!!!! He has just shown us why we should not send those people right back to Washington to do nothing but collect lobby monies!!!!!!!

This man should be the WAKE UP call for those we have sent there to not work in our interest.I hurried up and sent him an email of thanks for his doing his job for the voters in his state.I also sent a message to my state's to say they had better follow his lead.(smile)

I see they have quietly left this man alone.LOL Honey this next election is going to be a doozy. Plus it looks like this ACORN business has really backed up on those in congress who voted against them. even Senator David Vitter and Karl Rove have been brought up in matters long though by the right-wingers to be dead.

David Vitter way back with the D.C. Madam. NOw the attorney general with his emails of how Rove tried to force him into bringing a false case against ACORN and being fired when he refused to do so...Vitter and Senator John Ensign may just be out of office long before election time...thank you Republicans for not letting the Health care reform bill pass...

Sister Jen, we are going to clean house...a greater CHANGE than any one expected.(smile) At least now I can better understand why the Democrats can't say too much because of the lobby money they got also( I guess this is why they can't take advantage of being the majority)...oh, Grayson is suppose to be the richest person there...he can afford to speak out...I am just cracking up as I type this...I feel drunk off of life right now...good night..lov ya and thanks for the post...
