CNN

Cheney is a has- been Hack that almost single-handedly destroyed this country and its image around the world.

I would like to see a- international poll- on what people around the world think of Cheney compared to Obama!

That would tell the truth about that mean-spirited Megalomaniac !

He's a democrat. He knows all about being a vampire. He and his bretheren are sucking the life blood out of this country.

No wonder he hasn't been assassinated.......bullets won't work!

Finally a bonifide Democrat with the cajones to fight fire with fire....It's about time!

I am a native from Florida and I am sorry that the state sent this lugnut to represent us. Put him in the Michael More group. What a waco!!!!

I spent 6 years in the US Army from 1970 to 1976. How much time did Chaney spend in the military. He talks brave now, but he was never in the jungle getting shot at. Dithering?, give me a break, I only wish someone dithered before sending my ass to Viet-nam.

As a longtime Democrat, I appreciate the service Dick Cheney is giving my party with his never-ending advice. It only digs a deeper hole for Republicans.

All the military leaders have said that this period of reassessment is not endangering our position in Afghanistan.

We do not have the resources to occupy Afghanistan, either in terms of manpower or money. So that is not an option. Afghanistan has no functioning government or military or police. It would take many years and a lot of luck to train them in this backward society. Whether some small increase in troop strength will solve these problems is highly questionable.

I am sure a lot of my Republican friends would prefer that Cheney leave Washington. My own theory is that he is still playing defense to any effort to investigate or indict him, and will never leave.

Grayson is an embarrassment to either party, but more importantly, this country! His Don Rickles schtick is incredibly stale, especially when one considers that he has accomplished absolutely NOTHING on behalf of his constituency. Chunk this bozo out of office ASAP!

Nancy Vun, do you mean the uneducated Harvard educated lawyer, Rep. Alan Grayson? Seriously?

He's joking around on Hardball....hardly the floor of the Senate. Get over it. I hear the same type of stuff coming from the other side...seriously, who care? One side calls the others names...big deal. Stop the high horse crap. Senators have been beating each other up (literally in some cases) for hundreds of years.

I think Congressman Grayson owes an immediate apology - to all vampires!

I think we have seen more positive action from Obama in 10 months than we saw from Bush/Cheney in 8 years! Who took us to Afganistan, then turned their back anyway? As I recall, um, let's see.....oh, was that Bush/Cheney?? War Mongers I think is a good name for them both. GOOD RIDDANCE!

Just another Democrat empty suit with nothing productive to say ... what a fool this person has made of himself ... just like his party's leader does every day.

Bravo Rep. Grayson, don't forget, liar & douchebag also

Hey my conservative brothers and sisters, this is the up and coming star of the democrat party. Our sides hurt we are laughing so hard. Dont mind us dems, just keep on with your ignorance while we keep laughing at you!

Please.... do not insult vampires.

Thank God for Alan Grayson. He is saying what most people are thinking. I only wish I lived in his district so I can vote for him. I will send a campaign contribution.

DICK Cheney is the perfect example of what went wrong with American foreign policy over the last 8 years. His testosterone laden words sound like so much WWF or gangland chatter and are NOT the way to actually solve anything. Grayson should just step back. Cheney will inexorably sink under the weight of own words. Good riddance.

You keep making comment after comment after comment on the current administration's policies. Dick....Dick....Dick.....no one is listening to you. Your 15 minutes of fame are over. Do us all a favor and go away.....and take Haliburton with you.

Nancy Grant

Evil man Dick Cheney deserves this kind of comment.

this guy is a fat uneducated pathetic idiot. Is there nothing else for the democratic party to do? healthcare, 2 wars, economy, etc? Oh wait, it's not their problem. let's just blame the country's problems on the bush administration and let the country go to hell in a handbag. Idiots.

Grayson is a disgrace to our country–he thinks that he is funny and that by acting this way he will gain support for himself. We don't need people as radical as he is leading our country. Our leaders should be examples of how we all should act. We are all adults and should never call each other names. This is not getting us anywhere, instead of trying to be a comedian, (and not too good of a one at that), he needs to LEAD and help find solutions for our problems as a country. Our country is more divided at this time than anytime that I can remember. If everyone don't stop bickering–only God knows where our precious country will end up. PLEASE put politics aside and do what is right!!!!!

Interesting comment considering you screen name. Your namsake Palin was not exactly the epitome of behaving like an adult. She brought new meaning to the politice of fear, bigotry and hate. Sad to see someone who can'e see the forest for the big Palin tree in the way.

It's because Chaneey wants to "Suck your blood"

Please dems! Dick Cheney has more intelligence and understanding of the world and how it works then all of you libs put together. The proof is when a conservative makes a good arguement, then here comes the insults. Gettin real old. but dont worry we aint goin nowhere. we will always be picking at your irrational arguements til you wave the white flag. which iis what you guys do best.

Grayson is a fool desperately trying to extend his 15 minutes of fame until the next clown appears on stage.

Just another hatefilled Obama supporter. Isn't it wonderful this new change we voted for, hatred and diversity? And yes, if Obama gets his way, silencing of anyone who disagrees with him. I've lived through ten Presidencies and have never seen the hatred and intolerance like Obama brings out in his followers.

"I am appalled at the diatribe against the republicans at a time when the world situation calls for alignment in the United States."

It takes two to tango, Josephine.

I think we need some more liberal firebrands like this. I find some of the things Grayson said to be crude, but as long as the Republican Party acts like Newt Gingrich, then we need some bomb-throwers too.

Did anybody notice that he looks like he's Will Ferrell's brother?

Typical democrat. Just like the libers who frequent this site. cant win on the intellectual arguement, so they resort to insults. Come on libs your boring us conservatives. Here is a tip for you. research and understand an issue before you spout your mouths off. Thats how we on the right beat you everytime in debates. I could easily come up with a bunch of insults for this guy, with that horrible picture, but its more fun and productive to tear your points to shreds. Have a happy marxist weeken dems. you too obama. keep it real for me bro.

Oh the Democrats just can't handle hearing the truth from Cheney. Wake up people you spew your nasty comments instead of listening to facts. No wonder we are stuck with the Campaigner and Chief you fools put into office. Too bad anyone can cast a ballot, brain or not.

Haha...a bit over the top, but Cheney is proving to be out of HIS MIND! Please shut up and slink away to your lair.

nothing but the truth.......Mr.Grayson you are exactly what we need in the Democratic Party.......The Truth Will Prevail!!!! well said sir.....and the same applies to all of those lunatics at OX sty.

Surprise, America–Democrats aren't the passive, demure, politically-correct peace-lovers you purport them to be. And with regard to Dick Cheney and his ultrarich, ultraright ilk, it's about time someone called a spade a spade. Press on, Congressman Grayson.

Cheney and Bush, their administration was not treating fairly terrorism suspects, etc. and everyone cried how they abuse power. The current administration has an enemy list made out of American institutes of various sorts and power is abused openly on the major media outlet, and most of the meida does not talk about it... Aren't we a democracy!?

Vampires are not real but they are looking for blood and I guess that is what Cheney is trying to do, he is a very thoughtless man who loves himself more than his country and likes to say things to discredit the President, if he was smart he would just keep his thoughts to himself, he had 8 years to muddy the waters which he and Bush did a good job of. As for Grayson, he should also keep his wise cracks to himself.

I love this guy finally a democrat with some balls

This guy is a real piece of work. Bet you folks in Florida are real proud to have him representing you.

I love this guy!!!

IMAGINE – A DEMOCRAT WITH A SPINE!!!

Americans:

As you evaluate Obama's first year in office and compare it to the last administration; it was Bush/Cheney that dropped the ball and allowed the US to be attacked in their first year. The intelligence was there and they blew it and Americans died and the entire world changed because of their incompetence. Why would anyone ever listen to Cheney again! Republicans pretend that the Bush/Cheney administration started with 9/11. They don't even want to talk about the fact that their incompetence cost thousands of Americans their lives. Then they pretend like they are experts in keeping you safe. Cheney even shoots at Americans for sport.

My favorite bumper sticker, saw it somewhere in Kansas in 2003 or so: Bush + Dick = Screwed.

Keep it entertaining why don't you.

Thank you Mr. Grayson. I wish more Democrats would take your stance and stand up to scum like Cheney.

Cheney has obviously gotten under Grayson's skin........and Grayson has no real answer so he attacks Cheney personally......

Wait until Liz Cheney gets rolling....Grayson will probably foam at the mouth.....

Liz Cheney/Sarah Palin 2012'

Cheney is a horrible person and deserves all and any criticism.

I like this guys spunk. Someone needs to call Cheney out for what he really is. I'm tired of the sidestepping of the truth that goes on in this country sometimes. The VP of the United States of America promoted torture and some still see him as a hero. No more fear, no more bullying. Just the facts please.

Please, oh please, let this Grayson fellow become the face of the Democratic party.

A trial lawyer calling somebody else a vampire...now THAT is funny.

And how does this help our national debate?... Acting worse than some of my sixth-grade students is not a good indication of mature leadership.

Gosh, I wish all you career politicans would just grow up!

I support President Obama and Congressmen Grayson 100'%. Thank God someone in Congress is finally screaming about the Republicans attempt to protect the health care insurance companies.

More Grayson Democrats would make the difference that we dearly need.

speaking of vampires brings to mind the sharpshooter's nutty urge to go to war. Since it seems he was Dubya's alta-ego likely he was the primary influence to "convince" the "war president" that war with Iraq was quite necessary because "he tried to ill my dad". History tells us that this"patriot" ask \ed for and got 5-6 deferments to keep him from active duty during the Vietnam war. If my memory serves me correctly he was asked by a reporter just why he had asked for so many deferments he arrogantly responded that "he had other priorities". It doesn;t take a brain surgeon to figure out that the main object in these derements were to avoid military service. So much for patriotism! (excuse spellings).

'Grayson, a successful trial lawyer turned Congressman"
not true.....
Please check your facts.... this con manmade his money in a shady business selling long distence telephone cards.

Nosferatu Cheney...How fitting...

With all the Blood your going to lose for a piece of wasted space.
Called: Afghanistan. You have picked on the wrong guy.
Barack (Napoleon) Obama. Will soon change your mind.

1812? – 2012! Is upon you. Your fighting a War you cant possibly win..

Cheney as a vampire? That's classic!

'Grayson, a successful trial lawyer turned Congressman"
not true.....
Please check your facts.... this bum sleaz bag made his money in a shady business selling long distence telephone cards.

I LOVE Alan Grayson ! He is the smarter politician in this country. Go Alan !!!

Finally a Democrats who says its like he feels it and isn't scared of being called a Democrat. I don't live in Grayson's district or even in his state but if he has a serious challenger in 2010 I will do my part to raise at least $5,000.00 for his campaign and I will volunteer to travel Florida and help him campaign.

What do you expect from this prime example of a chattering Liberal monkey? He doesn't do a thing for his district and gains fame through acting as a sassy little boy. Libs are sooooo predictable...

That's just the sort of irresponsible comment we don't need in this great nation. I think the congressman should apologize to all the vampires in this country for his insensitive comment.

Grayson is the scum of the earth, I hope his sightseeing tour of government ends soon.

Because the honor of our country, we beed a law to remove irresponsible, uneducated lawmaker unless we have too many uneducated lawmakers in the House. If so, it is too bad for our country, there would be no change then.
I do not know how far our country will go down hill with such representatives in the Congress.

I love this guy, I wish I lived in his district so that I could vote for him. Talk about calling it like it is: "he's just angry because the president doesn't shoot old men in the face", holy crap, that's too funny. Yeah Dick, how about them beans?

Good for him! Cheney and Bush savaged and endangered and damaged America for eight, seemingly endless years.....why are they both not in jail awaiting trial for treason and war crimes?

Grayson is a loud mouth nu yuker .. he is an insult to the congress and to the American People. November 2010 will be the last day we here from this vile, sleazy excuse for a human...... I can't believe the good people of Orlando actually voted this scum bag into office...

Right on, Grayson!

Alan Grayson, King of the Vampires. I dare ANYBODY to NAME ONE THING this guy has ever accomplished in Congress.

He is vile and repulsive and totally beholden to the union bosses. And everytime he opens his mouth, the media are there like dogs in heat.

Cheney reminds me of the fourth child in a three-pork chop family. He salivates but he has no bite.

Another trial lawyer lib, funny how one who made a living sucking the life blood out of honest hard working Americans would make such a comment against a true American patriot that kept our nation safe for 8 years.

You read this stuff and your like OMG! I can't believe a congressman would ever say stuff so childish and idiotic, but hey he's a Democrat so therefore he needs to appeal to the worst of our society, decent, good hearted, honest people would never vote for a lib anyway.

His words are the mentaity of a people who blow up their own headcorders in Colorado, hold up racist signs at 9/12 rally, and yell kill him about Obama at a Palin Speech. There is no low for a lib, chlidish name calling pretending to be the fake conservative you spew hate against that doesn't exist ETC that's Democrat!

Yeah Rep Grayson! Thanks for speaking up, standing your ground and letting those leeches have it after all their years of plundering the American people. Cheney appears to be edgy about defending his tenure....wonder why?

It appears Mr. Grayson is more aware of reality than bitter old Cheney.
Blood thirsty is an accurate description of him. Although he left out the fact that chicken Cheney never served in the military, he got one exemption after another. However, Dickie wouldn't hesitate to put other young men and women in harms way. Dangerous old fool.

Whoohoo!!!!
FINALLY a Democrat with a backbone!
The Republicans have been name-calling for decades with impunity and grow bolder every day...its about time they get some of their own medicine.
You go, Grayson!
I'm going to donate to the DNC right now!!!!

Keep up the good work Congressman

This is a horrible nasty insult... to the vampires, I mean.

It is time that someone stands up to Cheney. Cheney is trying to save his butt. When his war-crimes are looked into, he may have to go before the World Court. He and Liz have had their fifteen minutes. Their fifteen minutes has done so much damage to our great nation and to the world.

Who is this guy? Mr. Chaney is a former Vice President and doesn't deserve these comment, This guy is way out of line. Florida deserves him!

I LIKE this guy, fellow democrats take note.

Alan Grayson is the Democrat/Liberal version of Rush Limbaugh. I agree that Limbaugh is often foul, but he wasn't elected to represent people. He gets paid as an entertainer to be controversial and disgusting. Grayson has no respect for his own position or our country.

Of course, most Liberals won't acknowledge this at all, due to their overwhelming hypocrite blinders.

Good for you, Rep. Grayson

Alan Grayson tells "It like it is!" Cheney talks, acts, and looks like a fictional vampire. He sure "sucked" the economy dry with his Iraq obessions and behind the scenes machinations. And, he continues to try to "bite" the Democrats at every opportunity. So, all in all, Rep. Grayson
rings like a bell.

I LOVE this guy!

go grayson go

Its nice to see someone finally standing up to these villians. Stay on the attack Rep. Grayson.

I think it is about time to have a law to remove uneducated lawmakers out of the house by the honor of our country. This type of people are not qualified to represent our citizen, uneducated, irresponsible. Why we, American, make such big mistake to select these kind of people. It is ashmed that we are proudly to say that we are one of the most civilized country.
What can we do now we have more uneducated people in the House? Too bad.

Grayson is right on target. Thank goodness someone has the guts to speak the truth about a person so vile and incompetent.. Give them Hell Congressman!!! You speak the truth which is something that was totally missing in the Bush years!!

This idiot has no idea what is good for our country or military. He attacks a GOP health care bill that would have excluded illegal aliens and abortion coverage – both of which should NEVER be paid for with taxpayer's money. And he supports the dem plan which costs $1.4 TRILLION to cover 10 million REAL uninsured Americans. He should impeach himself, and he is dumb enough to do it.

I like this guy!!

I think the Cheneys are making the country less safe with all their crap. And it's not like HE did anything for this country in the 8 years he pulled W's strings.

I feel safer now that Shooter is NOT in a position of power.

Grayson appears to be an egotistical smart ass on a power drunk binge of self importance!

You're words Rep Grayson are kinder than what I heard heard a bunch of people saying including myself after Mr. Cheney's speech. If the Bush (aka Cheney) administration had any clear cut goals in Afghanistan, we wouldn't still be in a war there...............Good for you

It's amazing to me, that the former VP, who was part of the last administration that invaded a country that never attacked us, and totally screwed it up from A to Z, danced on the constitution, all but ruined our standing in the world, no bid contracts to his former company , etc. etc. has the absolute gall to sit back and throw bricks at Obama.Go away Dick, nobody gives a crap what you say. You had your chance and blew it. Nobody except the far right nuts gives a **** what you say. Grayson is right, you are a MOST evil and obnoxious man.

I was thinking why President Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize?

Got the Answer: Kicking the Republican Administration (Vampire) out of office

Mr Grayson is a voice we needed for a long time.
He says it like it is. Cheney should just go away since he can't make any more decisions. He had 8 years to make this country better and look what he did. Shame on him and his daughter for trying to scare people.

I am wondering what Dick Cheney would be saying if John Mc cain
was President and in the same situation as President Obama?
How dare Dick Cheney bad mouthing the President when the country is at war,
And to make it worst its the war that he Cheney and President Bush
started.If Dick Cheney wanted to say something he could at least say something positive are dont say nothing atall.
Cheney is talking as if Obama and his administration is not capable to
govern this country.
This is a true case of the pot calling the kettle black.This is not a case of Bush and Cheney leaving the cvountry in good standing and Obama
came and messing it all up.
For God sake Obama is trying to clean up there mess.
So Cheney just sit back and shut your lean crooked mouth Lol

YES, YES, Alan Grayson you are perfectly right, he is a vampire, should go away and leave us in peace, he did enough harm to our nation, in fact, he belongs to prison for all he did...

They say imitation is the best form of flattery. If that's the case, the Republicans should feel pretty good about themselves considering the Dems are now trotting out Joe Wilson version 2.0, seemingly daily. Funny...never heard a word from this guy before "You lie."

Dick Cheney is lower than whale dung and should be put out of his misery. His has become America's disgrace.

This man wounds a bit unhinged.....

Congra,,, Senator Grayson,,, Ur Doing Ur Jobe well Done,,,And You will Don'nt get scared by reblican GO on with Fight,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dick Cheney gives vampires a bad name. Vampires aren't real. Cheney, unfortunately, is.

Grayson seems to be one of the few Democrats with the cojones to go after the dingbat right and expose some of their screwball ideas to the light of day.

grayson is getting the job done. we need more like him to put cheney in is pants

You speak the truth again Rep. Grayson. Please keep speaking out. The truth needs to be heard through all the lies and innuendos and hate being thrown out there. Cheney is a hateful old man who finagled the spreading of fear and lies for his own financial benefit at the expense of our men and women dying along with innocent men, women, and children. President Obama is refreshing; weighing options-listening to all the experts-before making a decision-just what a real Commander-in-Chief should do!

Sad how Democrats need to use personal attacks.

Imagine if Bush was still president and we had such a huge shortage of vaccine? It's as though we live in a country w/o a free press, heck, even worse!

Three cheers for Alan Grayson!!!!! We need more of our representatives to stand up and tell it like it is! He has a great habit of saying what many of us have been thinking. I applaude him!

Grayson is right on the money. Cheney is the biggest disgrace - well, second-biggest disgrace - in American political history. How in the world does that guy sleep with himself when he says things like "signals of indecision...hurt our allies and embolden our adversaries?" The Bush/Cheney regime completely fumbled the ball in Afghanistan while "emboldening" our "adversaries" to an unprecedented degree with their idiotic adventure in Iraq. They left two probably unwinnable wars (one of which was completely unprovoked) for Obama to deal with, and Cheney has the temerity to criticize him for thinking hard and truly weighing all options before he shoots? Cheney and his puppet Bush looked about as clever, patient, and accurate as Elmer Fudd on the hunt when they decided to whale away on Iraq instead of pursuing the real "evildoers" who had masterminded 9/11. Well, I guess the jowly old vampire has to do something to try and rescue his irredeemable reputation, but it is truly onimous just how out of touch with reality that guy is. He should make like simple little Bush has, post-presidency - get on a bicycle and ride aimlessly in circles, with his brain fully on cruise control - to nowhere.

Ha ha. Coming from a guy that bears more than a passing resemblance to Bela Legosi, that must really hurt!

RIght on – we all know this already though!

What? That makes no sense. This sounds like something a 3rd grader would say. In order to stay on Representative Grayson's intellectual level, VP Cheney should respond with the always reliable, "I know you are, but what am I?" Perhaps a stinging, "It takes one to know one." To make sure Rep. Grayson understands, maybe VP Cheney should just fire back with a resounding "NUH-UH!"

someone should staff dog pop in cheny's month so it can keep quite

The darling of the democrats is a disgrace to the Congress and also shows that Pelosi's words about bringing back civility only relate to any republican she feels need being put in their place while this fool gets more ridiculous by the day.

Mr Grayson you are courageous man as you speak about DICK CHENEY Republicans are in the office for 8 years and nothing has done in Afghanistan, what is he talking about..he just can't live away from politics, tell him to stay away get a life. He is just waisting peoples time and don't listen...

I like this guy.

That is an insult to vampires.

Ok Rep. Grayson, your 15 minutes are up...no need to continue the fifth grader in the schoolyard act.

Isn't this the problem with our government today? People like Rep Grayson (on the Democratic side) and Rep Wilson (on the Republican side) would rather make news and draw attention to themselves than work together and accomplish much needed legislation for the people of this country. It's time for people to step up and say we want mature adults who can move this country forward to represent us. There are real problems that need to be solved and simple minds and name calling will not solve anything.

It is way past time for democrats to stand up to all the lies coming from the republicans. This man is the first I have seen with the guts to take them on with the truth. It will be a shame if he is not left in Congress to take these lairs on. If the rest of the demarcates, Don't take his lead, I see big changes coming for them. The American people are fed up with it all.

Gee, maybe Grayson should apologize in true republican fashion, you know, like this:

"I'm sorry if anyone was offended at the thought of blood dripping from Dick Cheney's mouth. If I could be there to wipe the blood off of Cheney's mouth before he turns into a bat, I would certainly do so. I appreciate that bats are creatures that are ecologically necessary and are valuable members of our planet."

Go, Alan, Go!

Thanks for calling him out. He reminds me of Darth Vader with all that lust for torture and lurking behind the scenes. Dick Cheney is a very evil man!

I love Alan Grayson and believe he speaks truth to power. The comments about Cheney's comments were a bit ridiculous, but my take on them is that he doesn't take anything Cheney says seriously and neither should we.

Clear mission or defined goals?? Is Cheney kidding me? Where was the defined goals when he turned his gaze away from Afghanistan to focus on the senseless war in Iraq? What was his clear mission then. Where were the back up troops we needed in Afghanistan to finish what we started? And, where was the exit strategy for either one of the two conflicts during the Bush administration? My God. Ten months in office and Cheney is accusing Obama of not doing what he and his hoodlum friends didn't do in eight years. Its so easy being a back seat driver isn't it? CNN... when are you going to start accepting my posts?

Cheney has a lot of nerve criticizing Pres. Obama for making a thoughtful and measured decision. This is a many who broke laws of torture, laws for outing a CIA operative. If it were up to Cheney, we would be at war with every muslim country in the world. Thanks to Grayson for articulating what everyone else knows.

Well, Mr. Grayson, as much as I disagree with Cheney, I don't think two wrongs make a right. Let Cheney talk, he's got less than no credibility at this point anyway, ignoring him is the best way to handle this.

The only reason this CLOWN is opening his BIG FAT MOUTH is because a certain liberal sector of this country will donate money to his campaign . . . isn't that right TUBBY.

Personally . . . I think Cheney could mop the floor with this LOAD.

If the Dick Cheney Administration aka Bush not not diverted our attention to Iraq in the first place we would not still be in Afghanistan. Dick Cheney did more to harm America than any terrorist could have done. He had his chance while he was in the White House. Now his time is done, maybe he should realize it and go away before he totally destroys the republican party.

oops,I wrote I live this guy instead of I love this guy!!!!
so I repeat:love Alan Grayson

We pay this Grayson fella $175 thousand a year to insult former Vice Presidents? Has he nothing better to do with his time?

I live this guy!!!!!!At least a Democrat ready to go biblical:an eye for an eye,a tooth for a tooth
I'm happy and proud of this Floridian!!!!!

Dithering? Less than ten months in office and the man who spent 7 1/2 years doing nothing calls that time "dithering"?

What label do we hang on Cheney's time in office?

Grayson looks like a Vampire more than Cheney.

War criminal? Yes. Vampire? Maybe....,

This guy is AWESOME! Donations coming your way representative!

This boob should be impeached. I was told in elementary that name calling was ineffective, and here we have an idiot making a legislative career out of it, making himself, the Democratic party and the Congress as a whole look infantile in the process.

Dick Cheney is trying to coach the game from the SIDELINE! He does not know the current state of affairs and has not been a part of the national security briefings.

Why don't He go to Afganistan next week and then come back and talk to us.

Grayson is a disgrace to our country–he thinks that he is funny and that by acting this way he will gain support for himself. We don't need people as radical as he is leading our country. Our leaders should be examples of how we all should act. We are all adults and should never call each other names. This is not getting us anywhere, instead of trying to be a comedian, (and not too good of a one at that), he needs to LEAD and help find solutions for our problems as a country. Our country is more divided at this time than anytime that I can remember. If everyone don't stop bickering–only God knows where our precious country will end up. PLEASE put politics aside and do what is right!!!!!

Someone should remind Mr. Cheney that he is no longer the Vice President.

The more I hear from Congressman Grayson, the more I love him and am PROUD TO BE A FLORIDIAN!!! The Dems need this type of pitt bull rhetoric–goodness knows we have taken it from the right WAY too long.

Finally, a Dem with the gonads to tell it like it is.

Cheney should be in jail from the crimes he and his puppet committed.

How do comments from Representatives like these ever help anything? He needs to keep his mouth shut and keep working hard.

This guy has a face only a mother could love, maybe he is a vampire. I would take Cheney over this current administration anyday.

(Controversial freshman Rep. Alan Grayson, who has become famous for attacking the Republicans' health care plan, went on the attack again Friday night, calling former Vice President Dick Cheney a vampire for his recent criticism of the Obama administration's handling of the war in Afghanistan.)

Freshman--He talks like he is still in kindergarten. Hey Florida, look what you sent to Washington.

I saw this interview, Chris Matthews admonished him and said we have to maintain a certain level, aka stfu

I suspect that Alan Grayson is having one heck of a fun time stepping on Cheney and his ilk as they come out from under their rocks to spew venom on those obligated to clean up their incompetence and sleaze-and he get's paid for it too!

OUCH. I am glad somebody is speaking out against Cheney.

This has to be the most inmature do-nothing congress I have ever seen in my 57 years. Calling each other names is more important than any promises to their constituants on both sides of the house.

Cheney is a disgrace. Wasn't it his administration that said that disagreeing with a sitting President was unpatriotic? At least GWB has the decency to keep his mouth shut.

This is what passes for a Congressman these days? A vampire? I mean obviously he is trying to be absurd but he is coming across as childish and beneath the dignity of the office he holds.

No offense to vampires.

laugh out loud funny! I'm not one for demonizing those I disagree with, that seems to be the prime play of the radical right but c'mon ya gotta understand when it comes to cheney, calling out the current president for being careful on how to handle cheney's own mistakes, perhaps dick, rush to judgement and taking action before all the facts are in is not the best way to to run a country... I think recent history proves that, I'd much rather be called scared (and how childish is that?) than be responsible for the largest decline our country has ever experienced (on several levels)
cheney needs to be trivialized, it boggles the mind that some people fall in line behind this horrible self serving man, talk about drinking the kool aid....

This representative is a complete moron. If you want to debate what the former vice-president says, do it with substance and policy. This joke of a Congressman seems incapable of getting attention through ideas or intelligence, so he settles for outrageous claims ("Don't get sick and if you do get sick, die quickly) and juvenile insults.

Grayson called Cheney what he really is, "A VAMPIRE"!!!

I agree. Let's not forget the blood on his hands too...that he will never be able to wash away. Cheney is a lying, conniving POS that talks a good talk but wasnt man enough to fight for his country or show any honor at all. I'm sure there's a special place in the bowels of hell for him and the rest of this regime that nearly destroyed this country from Jan 2001 to Jan 2009.

Dick Cheney personifies evil. He reminds me of the worst Roman senators just before the fall of the empire.

Hey Grayson,
Have another cookie. You're not quite bloated enough.
And who the hell dress you?
For God's sake man, you're a Congressman now, not a seedy lawyer.

Representative Grayson, don't insult vampires. They have courage.........same with calling the draft dodger Cheney Darth Vader.....Darth Vader is a warrior and brave. Something a coward like Cheney will NEVER be..

Do you have any idea how stupid comes out of your mouth almost everytime you open it.

Grow and start acting like an adult that the American people have put their trust in tou as an elected official.

We have much more serious problems in this country than you acting like a two year old.

Just shut up and do your job as you were elected to do.

this guy should be president, seriously.

I'm sure the whining right will take acception to it, but they will be the same right wingers that laughed at the president portrait of a dark room and a pair of white eyes, or a picture by a lawmaker of water mellons growing on the white house lawn and even the joker portrait. What Grason said pales in comparison, but really, after seeing how cheney conducted himself during his time in office lends credance to the statement

Good for him. Thanks.

We need more outspoken members of congress like Alan Grayson!!!
I am so tired of the ridiculous Republican rhetoric!!! It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people.

Awsome. Love the blood dripping from his mouth statement. Its so right on the money. There is something completely evil about Dick Cheney. I think I really like this guy Greyson.

Cheney should be ARRESTED, TRIED in Federal Court and SENT TO PRISON for WAR CRIMES!!! The GOP need to understand that the American Taxpayer will not put up with Their CROOKED WAYS!!! Our Forefathers would expect closure of the Crooked ways of the GOP!!!

Yes and a war-monger who happened to do everything in his power to avoid serving in the military. So, more clearly, a millionaire who lets working class kids fight his feuds. What a guy!

What a loon, and this guy is an elected official.

Soon, lots of lefties will be on here praising this guy for his "truthfulness" "Courage" and saying "We need more guys like him "Telling it like it is".

Notice how the guy said NOTHING of substance but more ad hominem attacks.

Where's the outrage against this representative for his name calling of the former Vice-President.

Just another example of the left wing hypocrisy...

love Rep. Grayson! Keep up the good work!

I like Grayson

Not up to Grayson's usual.

Cheney is weird, but going down the same road as he does isn't a good thing.

You know i like Alan Grayson. However, i watched him say that on hardball and it was a little over the top. there is a fine line between a Congressman with guts and not being taken seriously. Even Chris Mathews was taken back a little bit. Don't get me wrong Cheney is one of many career insiders who have done there best for decadesto profiteer, at the expense of the average citizens quality of life. With that mouthful said, it was over the top

Cheney is no vampire. Vampires don't suck blood and claim they are doing it for world peace.

He is right! Cheney is a vampire. I like Mr Greyson for telling it like it is. Too may other politicians are afraid to.

Wrong! Mr. Grayson already has the look of a VAMPIRE!!!.

This is exactly what the US politcal system needs to get away from. Incredible partisanship, like Grayson and Limbaugh, only divide us as a nation. Let's govern from the middle, and kick the nuts on the right, and the loons on the left out of office.

Article 1 section 2 of the Constitution.
"No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years, .... "

Can we not get people in there who act their age?

Be quiet Grayson, grownups are talking.

Alan Grayson is my hero

Grayson for President in 2016!

Does anyone really care what Cheney says or does anymore besides Dick Cheney????? His last gig (as puppeteer for "W") was a catastrophe. It's time to fade into the sunset.....quickly.

I LOVE THIS GUY!! HHAAHAHHA Wish more dems could be like him lets dump Reid and Hire him for Majority leader!

Allan Grayson is a true Americna patriot. We should had have him as President. Cheney and Bush would be on trial on for conspiracy to committ torture.

Someone should go pheasant hunting with silver bullets. Just kidding, but seriously anyone who listens to what that goon says needs to go back to school for awhile. Creationist, warmongering, hypocrite, greedy idiots... get away from my government already...

Apparently Cheny is not going to go crawl under a rock so would somebody please roll a rock on him.

Dick Cheney is the worst kind of vampire -one that is also a "chicken hawk".

Go Grayson; keep up the good work!

MY PRAYERS TONIGHT ARE THAT . . .

. . . all Congressional and Senatorial Democrats get a steely backbone much like Alan Grayson. The nation voted for CHANGE in 2006 and 2008, and gave the Democrats the overwhelming majority they need to implement CHANGE. And what do the cowardly Democrats do? They frighten like sheep and huddle in a corner in fear of a few loud mouth Republicans and their Health Insurance & FAUX News backers.

Insulting a world-class obscenity like Cheney is a wonderful tonic for the 8 years of lies, war, torture, pollution, theft, global economic fraud and the incredible refusal to answer any questions except with expletives but when do we put the piece of filth in jail where it belongs?

And the rest of the "bushies" too...

Long live Rep. Grayson! The man is so on the money with this comment, it's scary!

hahahaha

If the shoe fits...

Cheney is an unAmerican POS.

Why is it always okay when Democrats are vicious and hateful? If a Republican made those comments, he would be labeled by the media as divisive, antipartisan, racists, hate mongering. Yet let a Democrat call a former Vice President a Vampire with blood dripping from his mouth and all of a sudden it is okay. This nut shouldn't be given any press or publicity. How much outcry was there by the media when the general population protests were called disruptive at Town Hall Meetings by our government because the folks didn't jump on the "agree with me" bandwagon. Why do we tolerate an elected official being so hateful and negative? He didn't contribute any positive statements just insults to Cheney's comments on Afganistan and the current administrations policy. What do you think would happen if Cheney had called them "Vampires"? Ever notice how the bleeding hearts take from the hard working middle class to give to the "poor" folks who get free everything. I worked 2 jobs to provide for my child, bought marked down meat, and shopped clearance all year for Christmas presents, driving my old beat up car. So how do you think I feel when I drive past Salvation Army on the pickup days and people are carrying out bags of toys, to their much newer and nicer cars, and when I stood in line behind somebody with their piled high shopping cart with top of the line food items at the grocery store only to see them pay with their food stamps, while I have my marked down meat, minimal shopping list and coupons in hand. Yet the bleeding hearts and a lot of the so called poor drive nice cars, wear designer clothes, have their manicures and hair done weekly. Why don't the bleeding heart liberals that take from me give till they bleed like they are doing to the middle class? Try giving up your private jets, limo drivers, etc. and give to the poor yourself. I bet you wouldn't like if you had no choice in how much you give and had it being taken from you like you do to the middle class. I'm sick of them all.

I disagree with Grayson here. I do not believe that Cheney is a vampire.
I believe the blood is on Cheney's hands, not in his mouth, or, for that matter, in his veins.
But I do agree with Grayson that Cheney is not a human being.

You are my hero. Please feel free to speak on behalf of the 80% of this country that does NOT represent the Republican party.

Thank goodness we have a Dem that will tell it like it is. Please keep up the good work.

Thanks

I love this guy even if he's not making many new friends.

Congressman Grayson....way too graphic.....

Former VP Cheney has a right to make someone else look bad based on his judgment of others. And he has a right to only judge himself only what he precieves as he looks in the mirror or what his yes people tell him.

I get the point of vampire and shooting defenseless men on accident, but the blood on his teeth puts me at a loss.

But the real deal is we were attacked on VP Cheney watch while he was in his hideout, making ugly statements about the previous administration. The "real" revealing thought is how much interest in KBR does VP Cheney currently own and how influencial was he on getting them a noncompete contract with the government before and after 911.

hmmmmm...

This guy is assume!!! Keep give'm hell Alan!!!

I am appalled at the diatribe against the republicans at a time when the world situation calls for alignment in the United States. This man has been elected to public office to serve his constituents to the best of his ability. Instead he seems to be serving his ego in attempt to call attention to himself in this negative way. Really sick and tired of this
all too familiar way these politicians serve themselves and no one else.
get back some dignity and regain some ethics that used to prevail.

Grayson looks like Uncle Fester with hair.

I like Representative Grayson, he is speaking the truth.

Grayson is gettttting ready to be remembered on a national level.
Speak power to truth on the Ole Man who won't go away- like a vulture or vampire.

Less not forget, Obama has a spine, he gave the orders to take out the pirates holding an American captain. 3 fatal shots.

Obama is doing right by taking his time for war. He will have even more blood on his hands. What a terrible choice to make. My thoughts are with you Mr. Obama.

Cheney is Vampire. Cheney is Satan.

Blood of 4300 US Troops dripping from his Teeth.

Cheney should be put to Trial for Mass Murder.

Cheney should be put to Trial by UN Internation Court of Justice.

Alan is right. Adolph Cheney isn't human.

It sounds like Grayson is taking rhetoric lessons from Hugo Chavez. Could we PLEASE have a return to civility in our public discourse?

I think The Rep from Florida is a moron and not because I am a Rep because I am not. The Dems talk about being polite and being correct well someone needs to shut this big mouth Baboons lips

This guy is only about garnering attention for himself. He brings nothing constructive to the health care debate. If he did, he wouldn't be appearing on MSLSD with Keith Overbite and his little brother Rachel Madcow.

but I appreciate the vampire comment

he makes the skin crawl, what an evil man

While Alan Grayson sees Cheney as a vampire, I see Cheney more as a Sith Lord. Anyone who is familiar with the Star Wars saga can see the uncanny resemblence between Dick Cheney and Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine.

Finally a dem that has the courage and ability to counter the batcrap crazies on the other side of the aisle.
While Pres. Obama uses intellectual finess to "call out" the likes of FOX "news", Rep. Grayson uses the hyperbolic language that the right-wing nut jobs like Bachmann and tea baggers like Cantor can understand.

As for Cheney, he's a loser and war criminal who should be tried for treason not quoted in the press as if what he had to say was even relevant or remotely true. Hey MSM – Why do you even print or televise what this sicko and his family members have to say? They are not news, the are subversive "noise"....

Yet another example of why no one takes Representative Grayson seriously. Florida should be embarrassed.

I like Alan Grayson more and more every time I hear something about him. Go get 'em!

I believe it's time that the American people understant what Dick Cheney is really all about. Back in the 90's, a number of Cheney's cronies formed a neo-con oranizationed called "Project for a New American Century" (PNAC).

If you will look at PNAC's website, you will understand exactly what Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, William Kristol, John Bolton, and Co. are really all about: U.S. MILITARY IMPERIALISM.

Someone on the Demo side need to talk the way the Repugs talk. That is the only thing the Repugs understand. They can not stand the heat when someone beat them at their own game. Keep pushing it to the Replugs Rep Grayson.

I couldn't have said it better.

Cheney knows that his appeal is to the dumbest of the dumb of Americans, the ones who adore Sarah McCalin.

He won't live too many more years and then he will be goooone.

Ha, ha, ha love it!

It was my hop;e that congressional representatives would be thoughtful, reasoned thinkers. It is a tragedy that our country will go down because we are represented by individuals babbling utter nonsense.

Dick Cheney=Quite possibly the single most dangerous man to ever hold high office in the United States.

Get back to me when this piece of garbage has something constructive to say. Isn't his 15 minutes about up ?

I like this guy more and more all the time. Go Grayson!

At last – a strong voice to counter the Republican attack machine. Keep it up Representative Grayson. I wish that we has a strong voice like that here is South Carolina – the land of Joe Wilson, Jim Demint, and Mark Sanford

I love this guy. Man, I love this guy. It's about time we had a Democrat in office with some "grit in his craw."

Give 'em HELL Grayson!

Grayson for the WIN! Finally, at least one democrat is wielding (albeit less tenuously) the republican's weapon of choice; negative rhetoric.. Go for the throat Grayson, I'm sending you money!

Like this guy, he says what he thinks and if you don't like it, "Tough Crunches."" Get it out in the open and deal with it....

V-P Biden and Rep. Grayson are honest straight-shooters who occasionally shoots themselves on the foot (ouch!), but they hit the target with their remarks on Cheney. Who really cares what Cheney thinks? Only the good folks at FOX and all the extreme right-wing nuts of this world! Cheney has done more damage to the reputation and safety of the USA and Americans around the world than anyone in recent memory. Enough of this man.

Is this guy an idiot or what? He wants to impress the Democrats so much he will do anything achieve this goal. He wants to be in bed with President NObama so bad that he will kiss kneel and kiss his ring on instinct. This moron is an embarrassment to the state of Florida, and by the way, so is Catty Castor.

Mr. Grayson, you really need to pay more attention to the issues affecting your constituents and stop willingly being President NObama's attack dog.

Mr. Grayson, in case you were wondering, I am a life-long Democrat.

Ha ha ha. Rep Grayson sure knows how to express his opinion. I think it's hilarious that Cheney has the nerve to complain about President Obama's handling of Afghanistan considering who helped get us in this mess in the first place. It's a lot easier to mess up than to clean up after the person who made the mess.

Cheney needs to butt out. He and Bush had a failing strategy. Let Obama work through a diplomatic strategy.

I love this guy. If you take the ferocity of the entire GOP, strip it of the paranoia and hate, and replace it with wit, you get Alan Grayson.

This guy is a loose cannon. We expect our elected officials to act in a professional manner. Where is the outrage from the Democrats over this guy? Oh yeah, he's a Democrat, let the hypocrisy show.

I wish Rep. Alan Grayson were the party leader in the US Senat. He is what the Democratic Party had been missing for decades.

If the Democrats believe Grayson is doing them any good at all, are they in for a huge disappointment in the mid term elections. This guy, in addition to having no manners; no protocol; no brains; no sense of decorum whatsoever, is also clueless and imcompetent to do the job he was sent to COngress to do.

As far as health care reform goes, while the Democrats call the GOP names and blame them and George Bush for everything, they are, in fact, dithering away the chance to get things done. Obama controls all three branches of government with filibuster proof majorities in the House and Senate, and still they cannot get anything done. Obama promised transparency, and right now in the deep recesses of the Capitol Building, in a dark room totally hidden from public view, Democratic leaders huddle in small groups with lobbyists like Tom (Tax Cheat) Daschel and corporate leaders making back room deals about the future health system of our country. No CSPAN coverage as Obama promised on the campaign rhetoric show - no transparency whatsoever – and no bi partisan approach.

And in terms of the "die" comments uttered by Grayson, it was Clinton's Secretary of Labor, Reisch, who went on camera and said that the Democratic plan would withhold certain health care from seniors and let them die faster .....and it was Resish who charged that Dems were lying to America. Grayson needs to look in the mirror .... and he might get scared when he sees the blood of Americans dripping from his own mouth – as Afghan troops are dying while Obama goes on fund raising trips, and uninsured Americans die while Democrats fail to pass any reform, and while Americans go broke as unemployment benefits run out and Obama does nothing but dither away his presidency.

Cheney may not be a literal vampire, but he did try to bleed this country dry financially and morally.

I like Grayson, but he should stick to the facts when criticizing people. Just mentioning their abysmal record in Afghanistan would suffice.

Alan Grayson is a breath of fresh air, at a time when the Democrats should be aggressive and proactive. Grayson seems to be the only representative with the courage and conviction to call a spade a spade. You go, Alan. I voted for you once, I will do it again.

I like this guy. Stand up to these soulless fraud Repugnant-can'ts and call them exactly what they are. They wish to offer him a stiff challenge in 2010? Why not start by having a party capable of coherent thoughts and thoughtful actions?

That's cute. Doesn't the neaderthol man know vampires are in right now?

Claiming that DICK Cheney is a bloodsucking vampire is actually letting that scum off lightly.

The only thing that would become that slithering snake is to arrest him and try him for treason and gross malfeasance in office.

Unlike Cheney and Bush, President Obama and Vice-President Biden are using sound judgment by waiting to see/hear the facts, not rush military personnel into danger just to seem powerfully in control.
The day President Obama sends more troops in to Afghanistan is the day Cheney and Republicans will contradict themselves and say how President Obama rushed into sending more troops without a plan of action- why didn't Cheney say that to Bush- out of office now Cheney wants to chatter away like a tweetie bird.
President Obama is doing his job nobly, he has to clean up the eight year mess Cheney and Bush left behind.
Where were all these unfavourable words while Bush/Cheney were in office for two terms hmm- O sudden amnesia, cat got your tongue!

Low blow Mr. Grayson but seriously you're right. Cheney is a senile old fool that needs to shut the hell up. President Obama is trying to do what's right. And to you Christian war mongers. "War shoud never be entered into unless every agency of peace has failed." President William Mckinney 1897. A pity the Bush administration didn't abide by this.

If given the chance, Cheney would suck the blood right out of our military

Gotta love that Democrats are replying to criticism of their inactions and policies with name-calling. How about an Afghanistan policy, folks?

Don't insult vampires!

We totally support Mr. Grayson.

Dick Cheney is the closet thing to the devil today.
His twisted perspective of the world the rest of us live in is so evident that it's absolutely comical to listen to his nonsense.

If Dick really believes the crap and hatred he spews, then it may be time to fit him for a custom made straight jacket.

What is Dick trying to cover up? We all know the answer. 8. Years

Cheney is evil, but there are more intelligent ways of voicing disagreement. Don't give them stones to throw back at us.

This guy Grayson is a riot! And I will just add, pre-emptively (because I'm sure all the birthers and other well-mannered righties are going to come out of the woodwork over Grayson's comments) that he is giving Cheney exactly as much respect as he deserves.

Rep. Grayson has mastered all the elegant understatement one expects of Miami Beach.

What Republicans call 'dithering', Democrats call 'Thinking before acting'. When will Cheney learn?

Ok, wait a minute here! While no "fan" of Cheney, this "Limbaugh like" behavior has got to stop. Wonder why the public rates BOTH parties in the Congress so low? Here's another reason why.

Ugh. As a Democrat, I'll be the first to say that Alan Grayson is rapidly becoming the most juvenile member of Congress.

There's nothing as awful as a smug buffoon. Grayson's smart, but his recent comments aren't.
