Interesting; he talks about his work for bipartisan

support of HR1207 as a "model for bipartisan action." I'm glad he's working with Dr. Paul on this, and that comment has me thinking he sees himself as a new political star rising from the burnt out old model of failed party-first power politics.

I have mixed feelings about Grayson....

Yes, he is doing some good...but he voted FOR HR 2749.

Did you guys see Freedom

Did you guys see Freedom watch this week? Schiff was talking about Grayson and said he has known him for 10 years or so and donated to his campaign. He said that Grayson is an expert on financial matters as he has been a shrewd investor himself and is a gold bug because he understands monetary inflation. However, Schiff said that he lacks economic understanding in other areas and likely believes in minimum wage, healthcare, and other liberal causes.

Also, that documentary, New American Century, had a clip of an interview with Grayson from when he was a lawyer http://www.documentarywire.com/the-new-american-century - I can't remember what he added to the topic but I was surprised to see him there.

Well in this interview he's not sounding to pro-liberty

For ex: he just decried the idea that capital markets can exist without government regulation.

But that's interesting that he was mentioned on FW. I'll have to listen to the mp3.

This guy has a full grip on reality.

He knows what his base is and what is required to get reelected. Until he can create a new base in his district he will have to sacrifice principle for realism. It is a position that I would not wish to find myself, but it is a role he chooses to play.

This guy will be with us if we give him enough support for re-election.

This guy is a financial genious that made his fortunes in the market before he came to congress. He knows exactly how life works, but he also knows how to succeed in a Keynsean world as well.

Do you think then that he is actually a some-what free-market Rhino?

I do like him....and have thoroughly...

enjoyed listening to him drill that weasel, Bernanke. I have mixed feelings but I know they have to pick their battles wisely. Ron Paul speaks very highly of him and his financial background. I do not live live in his district, but a neighboring one. I did send him a short thank you for his support and efforts regarding HR1207 a while back.

and chooses to sacrifice principle in order to get re elected, deserves doubt upon him or her and scrutiny.

Proof is in the pudding not in the whip cream.

I could be proven wrong.

I am merely saying, give the man a chance.

to Congressman Grayson. After listening to this video though, I think he needs to study up on free markets and government intervention.
