Alan Grayson is my kind of politician. He possesses a skill that is normally lacking in Democratic candidates, creativity. It's a skill Republicans have long mastered. Except now they have taken it to the extreme by accusing everyone that disagrees with them as enemies. The moderate approach to political creativity when someone opposes you is to make fun of them. Hey I said it was moderate not mature.
That's just what Alan Grayson does, and it's exactly what I do too. For the sake of argument, let's say your opponent wants to outlaw divorce because the Bible says marriage is ordained by God; that he wants to deny health care to abused women and, as all good Republican Christians do, believes women should submit to their husbands because, again, the Bible tells them to. And just to make matters a little more immature, let's say you have footage of him telling women to submit to their husbands and obey the Bible. What in the world are you supposed to do with that????
You make a 30 second commercial ad and compare him to the Taliban that's what you do.
