Republicans like to refer to former Florida congressman Alan Grayson as \u201cstupid.\u201d If you put \u201cAlan Grayson is stupid\u201d in Google, you will get 2,140,000 hits\u2014everything from Fox News to right wing blogs all declaring that Grayson is the equivalent of a dimwitted buffoon.\u00a0 But we all know that Republicans inhabit an Orwellian World where the top 1% income earners are job creators, Elizabeth Warren is a tool of Wall Street, and Barack Obama is an African born socialist.<\/p>\n
A long time ago, Karl Rove, Dick Armey, and the Koch Brothers discovered that repeated lying is an extremely effective method for duping working families into voting against their best interests, and they and the rest of the Republican Party have never looked back. They spend a lot of time branding Grayson as stupid because they are afraid of his impressive intelligence. They are also afraid of his blunt, colorful, yet truthful characterizations of their policies. Grayson is running for Congress again, and they don\u2019t want him back in office.<\/p>\n
