Grayson infuriated Republicans by giving them a taste of their personal political medicine but it didn’t get him reelected. Grayson’s willingness to make politically wrong statements about the Republican opposition attracted attention beyond his FL legislative district. After massive Democratic losses in the midterm election, which involved his own candidacy, Grayson called his party’s efforts for compromise with Republicans "appeasement".

Grayson and his thoughts
In 2008 when Grayson ran for congress, he left behind a fruitful law practice. From the start of his career as a congressman, he has ridiculed those who don’t share his ideals. Some classic “Graysonisms” consist of a explanation of proposed Republican alternatives to the health care bill as “don’t get sick and if you do get sick, die easily.” "K street whore" and "Bozo the Spokesman" are a couple of of terms Grayson has been caught using when refereeing to those who hold different views of his own.
To bad "Taliban Dan" worked against Grayson
This term is to mark the end of Grayson. "Taliban Dan" had been the term he tried giving his opponent, Florida legislature for 28-years, Daniel Webster. That nickname may have contributed to Grayson's 17 point margin lose at the midterm elections.
Grayson blames his own party
Grayson is a sore loser. He continued to slam people after losing a week later. He contradicted the standard explanation of the Democrats 60-seat setback within the House. He took the opposite opinion of the loss by saying that Democrats didn't do as much as they should have. Grayson feels that there was too much trying to make everyone happy rather than doing what needed to be done, and that this contributed to a weak political society.
