Alan Grayson: You Let Me Down

I used to respect you even though you are a Liberal. Your scathing indictments regarding the corruption of the Federal Reserve and other government agencies made me stand up and applaud. I thought, here is a man that understand the risks of dangerous fiscal policy. Here is a man unafraid to do something about the massive over spending by government, and the criminal negligence by the Fed in devaluing the dollar. Here is a man concerned with the incredible malfeasance that is TARP.

And yet... Sadly your true colors have show through. In spite of your big words to Geithner, Bernanke, and the rest of those corrupt hooligans we have running our banking system, you have managed to fall victim to the emotional illogic that is liberalism. You have only been in Washington for 9 months, and have already been swept up in the culture of elitist socialism, that is inexorably pushing American society in to the jaw of a nanny police state.

How can you support a bill that will massively increase our debt, raise taxes, and lower the standard of living in America? I have seen you repeatedly talk about the fiscal failures of Medicare and Social Security, deride the Fed and the Treasury for monetizing debt. Your own words label these programs and agencies as failures, and yet you wish to force them further upon the American people, all the while destroying our Constitutional right of choice.

You Mr. Grayson, and the rest of you in Congress, are all weak-willed, shockingly fraudulent, misleading, immoral, two-faced bastards devoid of character, incapable of seeing beyond the moment, and really doing what is best for your constituents and your country. You, and every member of congress swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. But given your proclivity to accumulate power, it seems the most unprecedented power grab in the history of America has proven to great a lure. Your backbones, touted on the campaign trail to be made of iron, have snapped like metal corroded by the acid of socialism, pressured by the weight of corruption and unbridled ambition for power.
