If we leave Afghanistan, we'll be leaving Pakistan to the Taliban and giving them nuclear weapons. America cannot abide that, I'm sorry.

Alan Grayson is awesome!

The best way to disarm the fear-mongering reptilian brain-stem impulses that the Republicans are trying to tweak in our minds is to use humor to aggressively frame the debate in an unfavorable light for them. Grayson seems to have mastered big aspects of this. He's quotable, pithy, uses memorable sound bites to devastating effect, and times his one-liners with a smile after a bit of deadpan pausing. This is rare in a politician, although Barney Frank and Al Franken can do this too.

And for friggin' once he's a Democrat who isn't afraid to show some spine!

Go Grayson! Take control of the debate and reverse the lies of the party of Palin. Sic 'em!

Thousands of years of wisdom from a very few people. Make it simple; eat just raw foods and you won't need health care unless you fall down.

Americans everywhere: vote with your pocket book. Remember that has power! Leave your bank and go to a credit union if your bank doesn't do the right thing by you; don't take unnecessary drugs; eat healthy food; exercise, etc. Don't wait for the FDA, the EPA or the CIA. Just start looking after yourselves. That way companies will start to provide what we want not what THEY want you to want. And if one company treats you like s#!* then go to another one. Can't wait to hear Alan Grayson's next comments - what a hoot of a guy!

Strange how no one with wit, intelligence and insight has popped up from among the withering Republican harvest.

I trust it is not for the most obvious reason.

I am surprised to find anyone with a brain and a conscience in Florida!

Maher was right about a lot that night! Especially the stupidity surrounding "Balloon Boy".

I have a feeling that Rep. Grayson doesn't care if he gets re-elected and we are the better for it because he can speak his mind. I do understand that he is not a pauper and that he may very well have run for Congress because he wanted to be a true patriot and help the people. See, not all rich people are greedy and/or liars. I'm just glad he's on my side. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

In ancient China, it was the physician's job to keep people from getting sick. If they ever had to treat someone because they had become sick, the physician had not done his job and had to return his payment (in addition to doing whatever was necessary to return the individual to health). Now that's health care.

Finally, A DEMOCRAT WITH CAJONES. Grayson is my new hero. Not only is he tough, he's damn smart too. Graduated Summa Cum Laude from Harvard and John F. Kennedy Lawschool, was the president of a multi billion dollar telecom company, and is a multi millionaire. The man has brains as well as guts and more Democrats (including the president) should emulate him.

Alan Grayson for president in 2016

Ahhhhhhh...... Alan Grayson my new hero. Perhaps he will light a fire under the rest of the dems out there who have chosen to sit on the fence on important issues while their hands are firmly in the pockets of special interest groups.

Something not mentioned in this interview, or virtually anywhere in regards to U.S. healthcare - the DISASTROUS decision to permit pharmaceutical companies to advertise on television. Have you noticed the increasing fraction of TV commercials that are now devoted to selling expensive and frequently unnecessary drugs? Drugs for impotence, for depression, for indigestion, for anxiety, for lack of anxiety...

Now that this box has been opened, how can we ever close it again?

Wait. So, "Don't get sick and if you do, die quickly" ISN'T a good health plan? ;-)
