Grayson deceit not playing well in Florida race

Byron York:

...

The "Taliban Dan" ad features video snippets from remarks Webster made to a Christian gathering in 2009. Addressing a group of men, Webster discussed the Biblical admonition for wives to submit to husbands, telling them they should not use the passage as a guide for their married lives. But the Grayson ad pulled out bits of video to make it appear that Webster was telling women to submit to their husbands. Here is the transcript of the Grayson ad:

Announcer: Religious fanatics tried to take away our freedom in Afghanistan, in Iran and right here in Central Florida.

Webster: Wives submit yourselves to your own husband.

Announcer: Daniel Webster wants to impose his radical fundamentalism on us.

Webster: She should submit to me. That’s in the Bible.

Announcer: Webster tried to deny battered women medical care, and the right to divorce their abusers.

Webster: Submit to me.

Announcer: He wants to force raped women to bear the child.

Webster: Submit to me.

Announcer: Taliban Dan Webster. Hands off our bodies, and our laws.

Here is a transcript of what Webster actually said:

So, write a journal. Second, find a verse. I have a verse for my wife, I have verses for my wife. Don't pick the ones that say, 'She should submit to me.' That's in the Bible, but pick the ones that you’re supposed to do. So instead, 'love your wife, even as Christ loved the Church and gave himself for it' as opposed to 'wives submit to your own husbands.' She can pray that, if she wants to, but don’t you pray it.

Grayson ripped Webster's words so far out of context that it approaches, or perhaps reaches, the point of slander....
Earlier Grayson had falsely accused Webster of being a draft dodger. Grayson is clearly a guy with few inhibitions when it comes to deceit. He has even gotten the local liberal newspaper criticizing him as well as MSNBC. So far he is not backing down, but is in fact doubling down on deceit.

A new Sunshine State News poll shows Grayson trailing Webster by seven points.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
