Grayson infuriated Republicans by giving them a taste of their own political remedies however it didn’t get him reelected. He became recognized outside his Florida region through his inflammatory attacks. His aim seemed to be countering right wing extremism by becoming a left wing extremist. After massive Democratic cuts in the midterm election, which incorporated his own candidacy, Grayson called his party’s initiatives for compromise with Republicans "appeasement".

Alan Grayson, who are you really?
U.S Rep Alan Grayson had been a rich lawyer in Orlando, Fla. when he ran for Congress in 2008. He has had problems with those who opposed him from day one. Republican alternatives to the health care bill are said to be as simples as "don't get sick and if you do get sick, die easily." Grayson has openly voiced his opinions of those who criticize the President by calling them things like, "Bozo the spokesman" and "K street whore."
Perhaps Grayson should have come up with a better slogan than "Taliban Dan"
Grayson finally meet his match after this term. He attempted to poke fun at Daniel Webster, his competition, by naming him "Taliban Dan." Webster has been a member of the FL legislature for 28-years. That might are one of the things that annihilated Grayson. He didn't just loose he lost by a 17 point margin.
Grayson just isn't winning supporters
Even a week after losing, Grayson still had been slandering people. He contradicted the standard explanation of the Democrats 60-seat setback in the House. While most pundits are saying that the Democrats tried to do too much, Grayson said Democrats weren’t aggressive enough. Grayson feels that there was too much trying to make everybody happy instead of doing what needed to be done, and that this contributed to a weak political society.
