That guy was always all about increasing government power. I'm a bit surprised that he's jumping on the "audit the fed" bandwagon.

When Spitzer is on TV, like he is and as much as he has been, indicates only that he got a pass from the elites. Perhaps, one only needs to remember that he was once touted as the first possible Jewish president. On some CNN program, he said that all libertarian ideas are obsolete in light of the recent financial mess, and with that knowledge, we should deduce that he is not on board.

isn't exactly pro-small government or pro-big government its just about transparency.
That and Spitzer's just angling to get back into politics after he blew it. Its all well and good that he's on board wit the audit the fed gig, but don't expect him to be a permanent ideological ally.
It is what it is, Grayson's record is not clean, but it's better than many in congress. What I don't like is his comment that:
I've lined up 100 Democrats.
Firstly, it's a blatent lie as we don't have 100 democrats on the bill yet (although it's pretty close when you take the Senate bill too). Either way though, it's frustrating. It would have been nice for him to say something like: Concerned Constituents have convinced 100 Democrats to sign on, not "I've".

It's impossible to tell if that torrent of cash was an attempt to schmear wavering Democrats -- or just part of the usual cash dump made by leaders on the eve of the June 30 quarterly fundraising deadline.
Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) doled out $28,000 to reps who eventually voted yes on June 24, two days before the big vote -- on a day when House leaders were doing some heavy-duty arm-twisting.
Clyburn recipients who voted for the bill included a who's-who of battleground district Dems: Steve Driehaus, D-OH ($2,000); Martin Heinrich, D-NM ($2,000); Suzanne Kosmas, D-Fla. ($4,000); Betsy Markey, D-Colo. ($2,000); Carol Shea-Porter, D-NH ($2,000), Baron Hill, D-Ind. ($2,000); Alan Grayson, D-Fla. ($2,000); Leonard Boswell, D-Iowa ($2,000); Jim Himes, D-Conn. ($2,000); Mary Jo Kilroy, D-OH ($2,000); Kurt Schrader, D-Ore. ($2,000); Jerry McNerney, D-Calif. ($2,000) and Tom Perriello, D-Va. ($2,000).
On the other hand, Clyburn also gave at least $14,000 to Democrats who voted no despite his pressure: Mike Arcuri, D-NY ($2,000); Marion Berry, D-Ark. ($2,000); Bobby Bright, D-Ala. ($2,000); Chris Carney, D-Penn. ($2,000); Chet Edwards (D-Tx.), Travis Childers , D-Miss. ($2,000); Parker Griffith, D-Ala. ($2,000) and Harry Mitchell, D-NM ($2,000).
The same pattern held true for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who gave $4,000 to yes-voting Ohio Democrat Zack Space and the same amount to no-voting Chris Carney.
House Energy and Commerce Henry Waxman gave at least $16,000 to yes-voters on June, 25, FEC records show.
A Waxman campaign spokesman said the payouts were part of the usual "end-of-quarter activity."

Grayson is scum, and I base that on the cap-and-trade vote. Glenn Thrush at the politico reports today how he was handed $2,000 the night before the vote. If that's not enough to grease the skids, then how about the $50,000,000 in carbon fees he asked for hurricane research in his district in exchange for a YES vote on the house floor during debate time on the cap-and-trade bill? I watched it in disgust. And how about Grayson skipping out on the first stimulus waste meeting where six other Congressmen out of ten were absent?? How about him trumpeting the first enforced vacations bill and saying "my bill will show us which Republicans are against America." He's turned into a sold-out freshman go-fer stooge in the Democrat gutter!!

just because these politicians co-sponsored a bill which they probably know nothing about except Ron Paul, we shouldn't give them a pass. I do like that this hack Democrat did have some pretty good questions to Koch, the vice chairman of the Fed.

Wow. I'm surprised that Spitzer is joining the choir.

My guess is he means that he
My guess is he means that he knows about 10 more that are supportive that aren't co-sponsors yet.
Also he said "We've" not I've.
Personally, I don't care who gets the "credit" for lining up those Democrats. I just want the Democrats lined up.
