Yep. Only 34 Democrats voted nay on that bill....Grayson wasn't one of the 34.

This is typical of the voting public when it comes to politicians they support or don't support. We love the theater. The more this buffoon acts with drama and without any professionalism, the more watchers of reality TV (aka 'tard TV) like it and just know that he's really working for them. But bother to check a voting record? Nah, can't be bothered with all that...may require work and due dillgence on our part. That would mean that we would actually have to be responsible voters and citizens. We'll let CNN, MSNBC, FOX and YouTube tell us what we need to know. Combine that with what our party of choice tells us what to parrot, why bother to think at all?

Check voting records folks. Compare it to the rhetoric and histrionics. You will probably find that a politician you think is on your side is, uh, not so much.

I guess those traits are held in high regard by some.
Yes, by the Orlando Sentinel specifically.

Beyond them here is a list of his donors:

For those Progressives whom love to deamonize the "rich" understand that Greyson is the 12th wealthiest member of Congress.

He wouldn't get mine either, I'm just saying that he seems more principled than some of the dittoheads like McConnell from KY who won't even challenge Obamacare at the state level.

Grayson was not invited to this meeting, he crashed it. I live in Orlando, and he is an embarrassment. I don't care if Howdy Doody runs against Grayson, I will support and promote any candidate other than Grayson.

He ran his campaign on stopping government waste and fraud. His big TV spots were standing on top of something (can't remember) in a warehouse and showing the faulty equipment that went to the military. I thought he would be awesome.

He is in a position to do good for us, and has the guts to do, but he is choosing to be a hater, enjoys being a hater, promotes hatred, cares nothing for his constituents, and is looking out for his career. I am ashamed of him to be my congressman.

How is he polling down there?

It seems this "stunt", crashing an R meeting he was not invited to, smacks of desperation.
