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.
Ladue Pundit commented:
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

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.

Dustin commented:
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.

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.
Just_Saying commented:
So, excuse the change of subject, but what’s the deal with Meg Whitman’s flip-flops, now that she’s won the primary?
kato commented:
Another example of the scum running this country, starting with the arrogant, lying crew in the White House.
Nick commented:
We need to pray that God will deliver us from this evil. It seems to be a core priciple of this group.
Florida Tea Party commented:
Excuse me, but that is not a “fake Tea Party candidate” – it is a Tea Party candidate that is causing great concern to the local Republican and Democratic Parties. Peg Dunmire, the first congressional delegate for the Florida Tea Party, is running against Alan Greyson to try to unseat him – and she is going to win. The Florida Tea Party is currently putting pressure on both the Democratic and Republican parties in Florida. Of the 17 candidates that the Florida Tea Party has put forth to run in Florida state-level races, 6 have been threatened by Republican operatives, or have been smeared as being Greyson “stooges.” For those in the Tea Party movement, this is not at all the Nevada ruse that Harry Reid tried to use – this is a real Tea Party “party” that is fighting for fiscal responsibility and originalist interpretations of the constitution. If you want to find out more, contact Peg Dunmire so you get the real story.
Jupiter commented:
@jonyjoe101 you obviously do not live in Texas where we have a HUGE Hispanic population and yet Republicans rule the state. I am Latino from Puerto Rico and I have always been a conservative as is everyone else in my family. I have attended a couple of Tea Party events in Houston and there was lots of minorities there. In my experience Hispanics are generally conservative. The fact that Dems are masters of ‘word’ and, able to convince so many that life is better on their Plantation, is something to be admired but, also proves that Grayson is not even a good Democrat. lol
The Tea Party movement is the best hope i have seen that shows the true color of conservatism, brown, black, white…
jainphx commented:
Here in Arizona where we just enacted into law the toughest anti illegals bill, we have 78% in favor. You can’t reach this number without SUBSTANTIAL Hispanic support. Lets not disparage, with a wide brush, our brothers and sisters in that community. Legal Hispanic support the bill by 58%. they also lose jobs to lowballing illegals, and with their taxes, support the freeloaders.

I call racist trolling on jonyjoe101. Two of the staunchest patriotic and conservative Americans I know are my former partner Juan Jose **** and my wife’s cousin’s husband ***** Martinez. His twin sons are Officers in the Corps on active duty.
Taxpayer1234 commented:
Florida Tea Party, I don’t think the article is impugning your party’s legitimate efforts. Seems this Torres person was “signed up” by Grayson, not the Tea Party. It also seems she’s a Dem. political operative of some sort.
BTW, I don’t care if the faker’s name is Zbtppwqbb. Still a faker.
Aaron commented:
#1: One’s race has NOTHING to do with how qualified they are to govern. One has to look at each candidate on an individual basis and make a RATIONAL judgement based on their merit, honor, and values. I suspect that you’re a lefty moonbat, posing as a “racist” tea-partier.
Militant Conservative commented:
I for one beleive Meg is using the tactic I would. Our opponent believes in the end justifies the means and so do I in this case. We’re looking at extiction and mass death if these bastards get in. I will do whatever it takes to deny them of this goal. I want good people in goverment. I want anybody but them at present. I will adopt the tactics of Alinsky to get what I want. Victory or death. powder is dry.
gus commented:
Calling oneself a TEA PARTY CANDIDATE means absolutely NOTHING to me.
Where do you stand on the issues.
Taxation,
Borders,
National defense,
Size of Govenment.
Abortion,
Edcuation
Tell me what you stand for, not whom you claim to stand with.

That’s kinda funny, really.

I agree that the name is nothing to be suspicious about.
But her job… “quasi-paralegal assistant who works in a law office”?
That I’d wonder about.
mark commented:
The comment that started this thread about hispanics is ignorant and you folks are far too nice in letting the poster off. Shows the good manners of most on this site.

Grayson is a “hate hustler”…he peddles a vile that is un-american. He is a ends justifies the means man, and he see’s conservatives as evil so why are we surprised he is willing to do such dishonest things.
gus commented:
Mark, the original comment was dumb. Sometimes dumb comments don’t deserve to be dignified. Grayson is a pig. He is not right in the head. Since Obama’s election the nuttiest of the nutty in elected office have felt free to spout their Marxist and Libtard hate with impunity. I can smell November.
Can you?
Flyover Sam commented:
You ever wonder what’s in this guy’s closet? The way he overcompensates, you know it’ll make a life boy or dead girl look minor.
Payback’s going to be a blast. We may have to order our microwave popcorn early for all the hearings and trials this completely corrupt machine will lead to.
Fearsome Tycoon commented:
You know what we call assuming someone’s political or religious beliefs solely because of his or her skin color?
That’s right, “racism.”
gus commented:
Yes Fearsome Buffoon, and LIBTARDS do it all the time.
If you are black and you don’t vote LIBTARD, you are an AUNT JEMIMA or UNCLE TOM.
Libtards have made careers out of racism.
Get a clue.
gus commented:
Obama could never have been elected without the HOPE that a BLACK MAN could be President.
A black man COULD and CAN be President.
Obama, can’t and isn’t.

How The Florida Tea Party Might Help Alan Grayson In November
[Dunmire, though, was not as concerned about this prospect: "I find it appalling. We live in the United States, where we believe in the free-market system. But when it comes to politics, competition is bad."
The Florida Tea Party, as we previously reported, has troubles of its own. It's being sued by members of the local tea party movement for co-opting the "Tea Party" name to form a political party "supported by well-funded GOP operatives and others bent on the destruction of the tea party movement."]

Pat the First commented:
I think there is a real possibility that in some states the Tea Party may give the edge to the B.O. liberals because they will split the conservative vote. I can see that happening.
Carl McPherson commented:
I think you are right, post #1 is a Cass Sunstein troll.
Rock commented:
Gus #33 nailed it, all I need to know is someone’s honest stand on the issues, and who they draw inspiration from, Socialist lovers are absolute non-starters. Flip flop after elections will be costly for future endeavors.

You are right. Third parties scare me. We got stuck with Slick Willie because of a third party. I think the Tea Party needs to figure our that getting rid of B.O. and his cronies should be our #1 priority.

Let’s see, Grayson is a communist. Communists lie, cheat and employ whatever means they deem needed to bring down America. Why should anyone be surprised what this slime ball would do or say?

At this point in time, I can neither confirm or deny the countless rumors the Alan Grayson (D-FL) has enjoyed carnal knowledge of barnyard animals for many years.

I’d call Grayson a scumbag, but that would be unfair to scumbags.
Don G. Jr. commented:
…oh the desperation of the Democrat party. Desperate democrats resort to drastic measures. And this is only the beginning. Democrats are going to be doing some crazy things until November when “We the People” get to fire them, and then most of them will be out of a job including Grayson.
