Busted. Slimy Alan Grayson Caught Running Fake Tea Party Candidate
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, June 21, 2010, 5:38 PM
Slimy Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) was just caught running a fake tea party candidate, Victoria Torres, in the state House district 51 race.
Torres is a Grayson stooge.
Grayson has a history of spouting off vile accusations against Republicans.
Roll Call reported, via FOX Nation:
One of Rep. Alan Grayson’s pollsters is running for the state House in Florida as a Tea Party candidate, fueling Republican suspicions that the Democratic Congressman is using to a newly formed third party to boost his own re-election bid.
On Friday, Victoria Torres, 44, of Orlando qualified to run as a Tea Party candidate in state House district 51 in the last hours of the qualifying period.
A call to Torres was returned by Nick Egoroff, communications director for the Florida Tea Party, who described Torres as a “quasi-paralegal assistant who works in a law office.” But apparently, Torres is also a pollster.
According to records from the Florida Department of State office, Torres incorporated Public Opinion Strategies Inc. in December 2008. In the first quarter of this year, Grayson’s campaign made two payments to her firm, totaling $11,000, for polling and survey expenses.

Just by the last name you can tell it was not a true tea party candidate.
As an American with a hispanic background, I would seriously investigate any hispanic candidate that claimed to be a republican, they are very rare. Extremely rare.
Hook them up to a lie detector just to be sure.
Jenny commented:
jonyjoe101, your comment is well taken but I find that it depends on which country the hispanics came from and their educational background. For example 95% of my family (we are hispanics) are Republicans the 5% which isn’t has more to do with when they arrived in this country and their background.

I expect we’ll see more of these stunts. The Dems are desperate to hang onto power.

@#1
You should not draw conclusions over the name Torres. I have cousins in Michigan with that name and they are 50%Australian and 50%American.
Anyhow I think that this attempt by Grayson is despicable. It is the same as Harry Reid

Rep. Clyburn (D) S.C. could not be reached for comment.

We are still waiting for the one we were hoping for!

i think grayson should take his own advice on healthcare
Milwaukee commented:
Representative Grayson has said in the past that he works for all Americans. The people who really care for this country should all mail him letters and send him emails and call his office to let him know our disgust. His employees will be swamped with all the incoming communications. Sir, you are a disgrace.

Don’t actually believe comment #1 is legit.
That’s ludicrous. I know so many Hispanics who are Tea Partiers. You can’t go to a rally without seeing many of them. They have polled these rallies and they are very similar to the US makeup in all ways, from age to sex to race, with the exception that there are proportionally fewer blacks.
Hispanics are no different from others. They too agree with the Tea Party’s main point: government is spending too much money to be sustainable. Now, many of them don’t even realize this is the Tea Party’s main point, thanks in large part to the MSM machine.
There’s no reason to suspect a hispanic of not being Republican, generally, though of course in this case that is not the reason we’re suspicious of the obvious Grayson stooge.

A lot more slime from this Commie Congressman (and others) can be found here: http://www.commieblaster.com/progressives/
ronnor commented:
Harry Reid is pulling the same trick in Nevada. This seems to be part of the Democrat play book, probably learned from the success of Mr. Obama’s hiding his real background, real politics, real friends, real religion and real backers. Next it will be ACORN registering the dead, the ‘Black Panthers at the polling places and Union Thugs breaking heads. Thug politics from a thug.
Don Meaker commented:
Democrats have one policy during campaigns. They lie. They have another set of policies if elected. They steal, embezzle, and enslave. How shameful!
Mitch commented:
jonyjoe, you may not have heard of Babalu Blog, but surely Marco Rubio rings a bell? Yes, there are Hispanic Republicans, Tea Partiers, conservatives, and libertarians. I say this as an Irish-American who detests the Kennedys.
Pat the First commented:
I live in a community with a huge hispanic population. I can tell you not every hispanic is in the bag for B.O. In fact, you will find that at least half of them oppose him and everything he says.
Now if the person is both hispanic and a union member . . . that is a different story.

So, excuse the change of subject, but what’s the deal with Meg Whitman’s flip-flops, now that she’s won the primary?
