Alan Grayson: A Leader Florida Wants?

As a political junkie, I observe what goes on in other states around the country and one such I have concentrated on in the past is Florida. I'm going to look at it again with the recent behavior of Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson.

I know Grayson's district well, having traveled to Orlando and Central Florida many times in my life. The district is not as liberal as he is and knowing it's not a year for the Democrats, along with his outlandish comments I've recently covered, he's finding himself in trouble, as proven by his behavior in this campaign.

This week, Grayson aired an attack ad against his opponent, Daniel Webster, aligning him with the Taliban:



Grayson has been excoriated by numerous media outlets in Central Florida and stands by his ad, where he took Webster out of context as the following video proves:



Another group, mocking Grayson's lies and questionable character proves how easy it is to take Grayson's comments out of context.



There is now a charge of plagiarism floating around as a Grayson ad (really creepy, if you ask me) nearly copies an ad from Eliot "Client #9" Spitzer's Gubernatorial Campaign.

We have seen Alan Grayson's outlandish comments and questionable character traits that proves he is not a positive leader that voters of the 8th District need. Daniel Webster has amassed a Conservative voting record in the Florida House and Senate, has business experience and is more in line with the voters of Florida's 8th. I admire Webster's stand of trying to keep the campaign positive, but he needs to take the gloves off against this bully and go "Iron Man" (offensive and defensive). Alan Grayson belongs on MSNBC more than he does in Congress...and he'll likely be their new hire after Congress.
