Alan Grayson's opponent in Florida

According to LocalPuke.com, Grayson falsely called his opponent a "draft dodger" (LocalPuke.com linked itself as the source).  Let's take a look and see:

Webster was born in Charleston, West Virginia on April 27, 1949. His family moved to Orlando, Florida when he was seven, after a doctor recommended a change of climate as a cure for Webster's sinus problems.[2] He attended Georgia Institute of Technology, where he was student government chaplain from 1970 to 1971 and was a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.[2][3] He graduated in 1971 with a degree in engineering.[1] During his time at Georgia Tech, Webster received an educational draft deferment; following graduation, he was told to report to the United States military on June 1971. The next month, while attempting to complete his enlistment, he was given a 1-Y classification and turned away from service after lifelong foot problems caused him to fail his physical exam.[4]
After college, Webster returned to Florida, where he helped his father run the family business: Webster Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc., an air conditioning and heating company he continues to own and operate.

Now note that the doctor's that said the family must move from West Virginia to Florida, cited a sinus problem, not a foot problem.  I guess Georgia was close enough to Florida for that sinus problem during college. Obviously his "life long foot problem" didn't stand in his way of working for the family business.

The humor in this is that I've been called a draft dodger for sitting one year of 1-A eligibility and not being drafted due to a high lottery number.

It's amazing how these patriots with foot and ass problems (Rush Limbaugh) are patriots, but people like me that sat and waited for the draft, and were not drafted....well we're draft dodgers.
