The Blue Devil And Daniel Webster

I hear a lot how Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida is the equivalent of GOP Reps. Michele Bachmann or Louie Gohmert or Steve King, proof that "The left is just as crazy as the tea party!" and such.

Well, this is the Republican that's running against Grayson this year, Daniel Webster.

"Our national interest is this: We need a beachhead in the Middle East, that is a democratic beachhead, not a party but a form of government," Webster told voters. "And to me, if we have a democracy in several countries there, it become a beachhead. It also protects us because once that beachhead is established it can move further and further and hopefully free up the people of the middle east."

Webster was asked specifically how long he believed U.S. forces should remain in Afghanistan. He says that's none of voters' business. "However long we stay is a military decision that should not be shared with the public," Webster insisted, to a round of applause.

Endless war until we win against every country that's not a democracy in the Middle East yet. Forever and ever, amen. And our wars are none of the public's business.

But Alan Grayson is the crazy one.
