On the Campaign Trail: Liars, Soundrels, and Alan Grayson

Have you heard of Alan Grayson? He's a Democrat in Florida's 8th District who's running for reelection against Daniel Webster (Love that name!)  Webster is a Republican, a small business owner, pro-life, a family man, and a Christian who doesn't shy away from his faith. 

Alan Grayson, on the other hand, is a liar and a member of the "I'll do anything to win" school of politics. (Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, etc. are summa cum laude graduates as well.) Instead of running on the issues, Grayson's running on attack ads hoping his dirty lies will stick and defeat his opponent in a truckload of sludge.

Grayson ran an attack ad labeling Webster "Taliban Dan." You know those guys, the ones who stone women to death and throw acid in their faces. That's one way to pimp for the women's vote, eh? (If your target group are lesbians and pro-abortion feminists!) As a woman, the mother of three adult daughters, and gramma to ten little women ranging in age from two months to 15 years, I'm grossly offended by ads that assume women all support the right to kill their children (and grandchildren). I sure don't and neither do most of the women I know including those who've had abortions and regret it!

The "Taliban" ad completely distorted a meeting where Webster spoke to Christian couples urging spouses to pray for one another. Webster suggested to husbands that they choose a scripture passage to pray for their wives. He told them NOT TO PICK the ones that say wives should  "submit to me." Grayson turned the statement on its head. The ad is so deceitful even the London Telegraph reported on it, asking if it was "the most misleading attack ad ever made." The ad also shows a deep degree of religious bigotry portraying mainstream Christianity as dangerous and extreme, but don't expect the mainstream media to address that issue. Grayson is a darling of MSNBC where he appears often.

Don't take my word for any of this. Watch for yourself in this Fox piece both what Webster REALLY SAID and how it was distorted in Grayson's ad.



Grayson also called Webster a draft dodger, another lie. FactCheck.org said both the Taliban ad and the draft-dodging ad contained "false accusations." The reality is that Webster was in college ROTC and when he reported for duty was refused for medical reasons. But the truth doesn't seem to matter to Grayson which leads to the question: How could any constituent trust this blatant liar? Of course, when your party is run by a liar-in-chief, what else can one expect? Grayson's not really working for his constituents, but for the radical left in his own party. And I pray he's on the brink of a stinging defeat. Few politicians deserve it more than he does in this election cycle.

Webster is leading in the polls, and Grayson's ads have accomplished exactly the opposite of what he planned. They are filling up Webster's campaign coffers. I'll be glad to add my small bit to support him.. I may not be able to vote for Daniel Webster, but I can count on him voting for me and my family. You can visit Webster's website here. Pray for the solid Christians running this November and if your means allow send donations to your favorites. We need men and women of faith and conscience to clean out that cesspool on the hill!
