Alan Grayson must defeat one far-right radio host before he returns to Congress
Bold progressive Alan Grayson is currently campaigning to return to Congress as a member of the House of Representatives. His opponent in the race is right-wing radio host Todd Long.
At a debate with his Republican primary opponents this past summer, Long revealed just how extreme he is. He told the audience that he would work to replace Speaker of the House John Boehner Ai??with either Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) or fellow right-wing extremist Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN):
LONG:Ai??I’ll fight passionately for a Paul Ryan, a thoughtful conservative, Michelle Bachmann or someone that has ideas and solutions based on the founders principles [to be Speaker of the House.]
Watch his remarks at around 03:42 in the following YouTube video:
To refresh your memory, Bachmann has demanded a McCarythist witch hunt of Muslims in the federal government, has said stopping gay marriage is the biggest issue over the next thirty years, said that global warming is a “hoax” and based on “voodoo,” and has accused Obama of holding “anti-American views.”
So the good voters of Florida should know that a vote for Long is a vote for Ryan and Bachmann by proxy.
Pitch in a few dollars to help Grayson defeat Long.
The idea of Candidate Long supporting Michelle Bachmann to be speaker of the House is like having a politician who supports Dumbo the Elephant to run our government. A friend jokingly compared me to Bachmann recently and I am still not over that insult! Anyone who believes Climate Change is a hoax is more stupid than a box of hammers. Bachmann must live in a bubble that has not seen any of the extreme weather the world has been experiencing, especially our good ol’ USA with horrendous droughts, unprecedented wind related events, record breaking temperatures, etc., etc. Furthermore voicing the moronic view in public that our President could harbor any anti-American views is nothing less than TREASON in my play book. These people, the Longs, the Bachmanns, etc., are so far to the right of the ‘right wing’ of the Republican Party that they are seeming to be more like Fascists than people with any sort of heart or mind that could be called human. Why don’t they just don their black shirts and lightning bolt emblems and get it out in the open? Am I opinionated about this…ya think!?!!
So he wants some one with the founders principals to be speaker of the house. Seems to me that is wat we all should want. How has this county lost touch with its founding principals? Why are there so many people that think the government is here to take care of, and provide for them? Michelle bachman would be a great choice for speaker. She preaches traditional values, and financial responsibility. She may be a bit conservative, but I think it is the only way to get people to realize that the government is not there to provide for its citizens. It is there to allow citizens to provide for themselves. Liberals seem to have forgotten the words from one of thier most renowed leaders. I will take a moment to remind them here……”Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what YOU can do for your country.”
