Grayson thinks he’s a bully, but he is human garbage. It was funny watching him trying to use HIS talking points.
He lost because he’s an ass and a huge embarrassment to his district, it wasn’t even close. He should back to suing people in New York.
While I am sure some will make comparisons with Chris Matthews, the fact is that Grayson didn’t even know what he voted for in the healthcare bill. Not one person is now covered because of it and won’t be until 2014
Grayson is a true genius. The thing is he’s an high functioning, Aspberger continuum case.
Every human interaction for the man is being premeditated like a chess match in his head, even while having an off the cuff conversation. And he can compartmentalize to an incredible degree.
His downfall is his lack of a countervailing force of moderation either upstairs in his head, or a strong wife to keep him together.
Personally owning a home in his House district, I’m happy he’s gone. I would still pay to have him provide a lecture on his thoughts on predetermination and free will in the daily lives of citizens of a Republic. You can see the conflict in his every “grand pronouncement” and floor speech he has as a Legislator over this philosophical divide...
He could have, if he had chosen to master the machine and own the game, been a great Legislator in the history of the country. Instead he pandered to the Floridiots and gave up trying to game a system so corrupt he couldn’t conquer it in a short period like a courtroom case.
Grayson provides strong evidence that Leftism is a mental disease.
How is Grayson any kind of genius? Anybody who gets Conservatism as simplistically wrong as he does certainly does not present him or herself as 3 digit IQ material.
Grayson doesn’t “get Conservatism wrong”, he understands Conservatism well enough, he made a personal decision to actively oppose fiscal Conservatism and embrace welfare state wealth transfers and populist rhetoric against the Fed Reserve, ‘banksters’, Wall street, etc...
The guy understands the political spectrum, he chose most of his positions he took in his political career based upon calculated decisions based upon opinion polling and his perception of himself that he could master populist demagoguery.
I don’t think anyone really knows if the man has any interest in the philosophical underpinnings of a Democratic Republic, he simply rented the policy positions of the party and coalitions of voter blocs most likely to get him elected in Central Florida.
There are two types of socialists.
1. Individuals on the left who promote socialism with good, though mistaken, intentions.
2. Politicians on the left who borrow socialism as a means to an end -- power. Like Latin American dictators. And Democrats.
No, he could never have been great. He’s a jerk and an evil person at heart.
Also, if Grayson is as politically knowledgable as you claim, how is it that he appears unaware that he is being increasingly perceived as a caricature of an extreme Leftist, and is quite probably severely damaging his chances at future electoral success by continuing with his confrontational intransigence after he was defeated? Just describing how things look to me, of course.
