I keep getting emails from him for $$$.
Supported him in the past but I understand this election is more.... complicated.
What's up?

(462 posts)Grayson's good on social and economic issues, but his foreign policy is not remotely progressive. He's also got some ethics issues from his really nasty divorce. He's a mixed bag.
Patrick Murphy on the other hand, its a total DINO. He was a max donor to Romney in 2008 (*after* Bush!), changed parties to run against Alan West. He's voted for things like Keystone and gutting Dodd-Frank. I will never, ever vote for this guy. Primary or General.
I'm voting for Grayson, but I really wish he was more of a solid of a progressive on foreign policy.

I don't think I've heard the term progressive used in discussions of foreign policy. Any help on this would be great.

Still, he's better than Murphy.
