Positive ads don't get any better than this: Mother of a child: "They wanted to close our schools. They didn't care what happened to us or our children." The camera then goes to a close-up of a child asking, "Where am I going to go if they close my school?" Back to the mother, who says, "I didn't have an answer for her." Grayson: "My five children go to public school right here in Orlando. I fought for $200 million to save our schools for them and for all of us." Children: Alan Grayson saved our schools."

And yes, I’ve made some plenty smart cracks about people on Social Security who milk it to the last degree. You know ‘em too. It’s the same with any system in America. We’ve reached a point now where it’s like a milk cow with 310 million tits! Call when you get honest work! Al The proud classy old Republican member of the President Barack Obama's debt commission, on social security (and lovely male chauvinism). I wonder how many tits a milk cow has for his Medicare and Medicaid comparison? Maybe 310 billion.
