Dem meeting boils over with Reid-Grayson confrontation.....

[MMC]

Grayson is running for Rubio's seat in Florida. Ever since he announced the Demos have been a bit upset with him Especially Reid. They couldn't get Wasserman Schultz since she is hoping Hillary wins and she will be given a job. So Grayson has upset the Demos apple cart. Then the Demos brought ethics charges against him. Grayson denies the ethics findings.

Grayson has always been a hard core lefty. Yet was part of the Demo establishment as a Congressman. Now he thinks he is an outsider. What say ye?




A routine meeting of liberal Democrats grew heated on Wednesday when Rep. Alan Grayson (http://thehill.com/people/alan-grayson) Alan Grayson (http://thehill.com/people/alan-grayson)GOP wants Senate Dem candidate to donate 0K (http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/279620-gop-wants-senate-dem-candidate-to-donate-100k)Overnight Finance: Puerto Rico bill delayed again; Trump to release tax returns after audit (http://thehill.com/policy/finance/overnights/279618-overnight-finance-puerto-rico-bill-delayed-again-trump-to-release)The Trail 2016: One Heck of a Pivot (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/279613-the-trail-2016-one-heck-of-a-pivot)MORE (http://thehill.com/people/alan-grayson) (D-Fla.) confronted Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (http://thehill.com/people/harry-reid) Harry Reid (http://thehill.com/people/harry-reid)Overnight Finance: Puerto Rico bill delayed again; Trump to release tax returns after audit (http://thehill.com/policy/finance/overnights/279618-overnight-finance-puerto-rico-bill-delayed-again-trump-to-release)The Trail 2016: One Heck of a Pivot (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/279613-the-trail-2016-one-heck-of-a-pivot)Romney to Trump: Not releasing tax returns is 'disqualifying' (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/279584-romney-to-trump-not-releasing-tax-returns-is)MORE (http://thehill.com/people/harry-reid) (D-Nev.) over the ethics charges dogging Grayson as he vies for the Senate.

Reid was a guest at the weekly gathering of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) when Grayson went on the attack, denouncing Reid’s previous calls for the Florida Democrat to resign over allegations that he violated House rules by running hedge funds through his congressional office.

“Shame on you. It’s not true,” Grayson said, according to sources in the room.
“It is true, and I want you to lose,” Reid fired back.

“All the members were appalled” by Grayson’s behavior, the source said. “It was embarrassing for him and embarrassing for us that he behaved that way.”

“The establishment wants somebody who is a callow tool, OK? They want somebody who they can boss around, somebody who they can order around,” Grayson said. “As far as I can tell, the only criteria that the Democratic establishment has among Senate candidates this year is obedience, OK? And in that regard, perhaps I fall short.”

Still, critics of Grayson’s confrontational approach said Wednesday’s meeting was the wrong place to air his grievances against the minority leader......snip~

I think its another case of Establishment Politicians wanting only people that can be controlled. That goes for both Parties.

Yeah, except the Demos didn't have much of a problem with him when he was in the House and taking it to the Repubs non stop.

Then Reid is retiring and thinks he should still have some say of things. While going down in History as one of the Worst Senate Leaders.

Another one that was about keeping people divided.

Something must have happened in between. Grayson was elected to the house then he lost re election to Alan West a teaparty republican. He then won it back from Alan West. Now he wants the senate.

He would have ran against Wassermann Schultz if she had decided to jump in. What is quite amusing is how Reid and the CPC thought his behavior was intolerable. Yet Reid did bring out the ethic board's findings and has been against him from the beginning.

Grayson is the most disgusting person to run for office in the US. Had he lived in the 1780s his mouth would have got him tared and feathered and left for dead.

I can't think of an end for him that would be unjust.

The truth is like a face full of scalding water to right-wingers and those who tell it are like the throwers of that scalding water.

The Republicans' health care plan? HURRY UP AND DIE!!!!

Summed it up perfectly.

No wonder the wingnuts hate him.

Except it was gay. Pure bull shit. If you are with Grayson you are as vile as he is. No surprise, don't you agree?

The Republican health plan is hardly different than any health plan Hillary would pursue. Unless she chose to pursue single-payer, but that's unlikely considering you've all insisted it's an "impossible" plan and someone of Hillary's awe-inspiring wisdom and maturity would never try to enact the impossible. :rollseyes:

As long as he makes Reid's life difficult. There is a use for him.
