All you have to do is look at the guy.

Democrat Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida has been called out for lying about the circumstances of his crashing a local Republican meeting last week.
Grayson was videotaped disrupting a meeting of Orange County, Florida, Republicans at a Perkins restaurant.
The Orlando Sentinel reported on April 9 about the incident and what Grayson said about it:
In the video, Grayson reads from a flier that describes a recent Republican infiltration of a pro-Obama group, and a promise to dish those details at this next GOP meeting. Grayson chides the Republican attendees for sinking so low as to spy on the other side.
Today, Grayson said he was attending a community home owner’s association meeting in another part of the restaurant that night, and decided to share his displeasure with the contents of the flier with the GOP party members.
“That’s political dirty tricks,” Grayson said today. “I went over to find out what their side of the story was, and whether they approved of that.”
Last night, Fox 35 in Orlando reported the organizer of the homeowner's association meeting that Grayson claims he was attending said that Grayson was not invited to the meeting and that Grayson had stormed into the meeting screaming.
"He came in, starting to holler in a somewhat agitated mood,” said Kevin Rogers of the Emerald Forest HOA. “We asked him what he was talking about. He repeated it and we said, ‘We think you have the wrong meeting.’”

After the story took off on Friday, Grayson’s camp said he was at the Perkins to meet with the HOA, something Rogers disputes.
"He didn't come to our meeting, as I’ve seen reported in other places.”
After the confrontation, Grayson was invited to sit in with the HOA meeting, which he did. We pressed a spokesperson for Grayson to clarify whether the congressman intentionally went to Perkins to disrupt the meeting of Republicans, or if he was there to attend the HOA gathering.
"The timing is inconsequential,” said Todd Jurkowski. “The congressman highlighted the fact that Republicans were boasting about using new ways to deceive people. He also got to spend time with homeowners he represents."
After Grayson returned to the HOA meeting, Rogers asked him if he felt his behavior was polarizing or divisive. “His answer to me was, essentially he was very well known, and he liked the fact he's very well known. If that adds to the fact of him being popular, so much the better."
Yes, Orlando, your Congressman is nuts.
Sorry. He's got BOTH a Republican AND a "Tea Party" candidate splitting the conservative vote in his district.
Hopefully, either the Republican will back out, or the Tea Party person, so their constituents won’t split the vote! Is the Republican candidate a RINO?
Yes, and in case you were wondering, the proper prounciation of that last name would be Jerk-off-ski!
Actually, no I wasn't wondering. I assumed it was jerk-ow-ski. Ha. That should be the new name for democrats: jerkoffski's.
Actually, the GOP candidate hasn't been chosen yet, but the two that I know of who are going to run in the primary are both conservatives, to the best of my knowledge. My point is it looks like there definitely will be both a Pubbie and a TPer.

Hi All! The Primary is August 24th to choose the conservative candidate to face Grayson in November! Those leading in the pack are Dan Fanelli, Todd Long, and Patricia Sullivan. Check them all out, and you will find that Dan Fanelli is the best Constitutional Conservative running!
YES, many Florida Freepers who have met Dan Fanelli are now going to spread the word about him and do everything we can to see that Dan wins the Primary Election in August!
Dan is the real deal and I hope you will check him out if you have not already! Once you do you will come to understand why my hubby and I along with many of our friends are supporting Dan!

To those who are outside our Sunshine State, and outside FL District 8 like me, EVEN YOU CAN MAKE A VOTE AGAINST GRAYSON! Just go to this link and donate what you wish! Even $10 or $20 will help so much to combat the millions backing Grayson and his Socialist/Progressive/DEM machine!

Of course he lied. All liberals and progressives lie because nothing they believe in or support would ever survive the light shone by the truth.

Thanks kristinn.
I haven’t said there is anything wrong with Kurt Kelly, just that my choice would be Dan Fanelli.
There was a straw poll at the forum this evening. I did not attend the forum as I am in Titusville right now. wondering who won the straw poll as just curious. Know the straw polls don’t mean a whole lot, but was just wondering who won it this evening. Do you know? Thanks!
I always welcome information from others on various candidates in the races in our Florida districts. We all need to work together in our “vetting” of candidates so we select the best constitutional conservative running to face the DEM in November. In many districts there are several folks running on the R side so it takes some work to research and vet all running to make a wise choice.
Thanks for any input in advance. Happy Tax Day, if there is such a thing!! Got ours in the mail yesterday, but usually James and I are in line at the St.Pete post office close to midnight to hand over the return and get our coupon for a chicken sandwich!
