Former U.S. Representative Alan Grayson paid a visit to The Ed Show, telling host Ed Schultz that, were he still in Congress, he would decidedly not vote for any cuts to Medicare or Social Security, and he would be “grabbing everybody else by the collar and telling them they should do the same.”

Furthermore, he suggests that a great way of cutting back would be to end our current wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. He also offered deep criticism of both parties:

Washington is now divided between the meanies and the weenies; it’s the real two party system today in Washington, the meanies and the weenies. The meanies want to take Social Security and Medicare away from grandma and grandpa, and the weenies are quite willing to go along with it and “compromise.” Well, people need Social Security to live, and there’s no compromise between life and death, there’s no middle ground.

Grayson announced he is emphatically opposed to this sort of compromise, adding that he’d like to see Medicare expanded to cover dental work, hearing aids, etc. Schultz then asked, bluntly, “Is this President weak? Why isn’t he saying what you’re saying?” Grayson replied diplomatically:

He’s my President, he’s the leader of my party, so I don’t know exactly what to say. But I do know this: All of this compromise has not accomplished anything useful for anybody on our side. It hasn’t done any good at all. The President should be saying to people, “The Republican party is cruel. The Republican party is bigoted. The Republican party cares only about tax breaks for the rich.”

Grayson then announced, right there and then, that he’s running for Congress once again.

Watch the segment, via MSNBC:

Alan Grayson, Budget Cuts, debt, ed schultz, Medicare, Social Security

If the Democrats nominate him, they’ve completely lost it. Even Alvin Greene carpetbagging in that district would be a better choice.

Grayson is looking for cash…what he takes in as donations he gets to keep, and there are some on the rabid left who Will send him a check. But as a candidate, has no chance. His negatives in his district are huge.

Oh goodness – I thought we wouldn’t have to hear from this creep who sounds like he’s got marbles in his mouth that match the marbles in his head.

This guy is insane. I think he a Schulz should get a room and delve deeper into each others psyche and leave the rest of us alone.

I gotta admit that Alan Grayson is entertaining. He’s toxic, hateful and a pathological liar, but he’s entertaining.

What an absolute puke.

The Donks own the likes of Grayson, Weiner, Wassman-Woof, shall I continue?

Loathsome.

Which is why I say, vote him in again! He is the archetype of today’s honest democrat and a great contrast to the sleazy behind the scenes type like Obama.

I love how they keep chanting the Democrat line about taking away SS for grandma and grandpa when that is a bald-faced lie. I understand that the truth and Democrats are complete strangers but it still pisses me off.

I say let him in. He’s dam entertaining.
Just my Opinion

Yeah, but look who keeps bringing him back into public view.
Make that semi-public view.
After all I am referring to MSNBC. That is always one
of those “if a tree fell in a forest” moments!

Bring it on Alan!

The right wing kooks can’t handle anyone who points out their vile and hateful agenda.

Alan Grayson is the definition of vile and hateful. Scumsucking is probably also a good description.

Does Grayson honestly think he is going to gain support by going on the infamous Ed Show and illustrating that he is still a vicious no-nothing character assassin? It sounds like a pretty bad strategy to me.

That’s EXACTLY what he thinks. A lot of younger voters WANT a mean-spirited attack bot who’s going to “get” their “enemies” and spout off snappy memetic catchphrases while doing it.

I suppose you may be right. I guess that would explain the immature name calling too. Makes perfect sense.

Sounds like you’re about as bright as he is.

The ‘meanies and the weenies’. Amazing. Out of the mouth of an adult male.. Wonder if that’s how he describes war too?

He’s apparently learned nothing from his mistakes.

I personally hope this moron fades into oblivion but he could probably win if he went to NY and ran for Weiner’s old seat. People in Weiner’s district are stupid enough to elect him.
