80. Thanks for the information ~
Regarding Democrats he has attacked, good question. He has certainly criticized Obama's war policies.

Freshman Democrat Alan Grayson Attacks Obama's War Policy

This is something that Democrats said when they were in the opposition repeatedly, and that truth hasn’t changed at all just because we elected a president. You can always find some kind of excuse to do what you want to do anyway, but I have to wonder why a new Democratic president wants to do something like this. This is a president who has recognized the immorality of torture, and I’m waiting for him to recognize the immorality of war and foreign occupation.


He talks about other Democrats who are not willing to go against the President on the war because he's a Dem. and they 'want to give him time'. He calls it hypocrisy.

So, imo, I think he won't hesitate to call out Dems as well as Republicans. Doesn't seem like the type to care about those letters after their names to me.
