Controversial lawmaker Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fl.) told his GOP colleagues opposed to healthcare reform to "get out of the way."
The freshman lawmaker took to the floor following regular business and yelled into C-SPAN cameras that "America doesn't care about (Republicans') feelings," and that he "WILL NOT APOLOGIZE" for accusing Republicans opposed to healthcare reform of wanting "Americans to die."
Grayson took aim at GOP Senator Olympia Snowe (Maine), who has been on the fence over whether to support healthcare reform in the Senate.
"Just get out of the way - you can lead, you can follow or you can get out of the way, and I'm telling you to get out of the way," he said.

Pure arrogance.
This whole incident highlights how STUPID the Republicans are.
Why don’t they SCREAM OUT LOUD that the dems are REPEALING MEDICARE???
Because they’re too freaking stupid, that’s why.
The way these liberal dems talk to us and the GOP is unpresedented. The discourse is really repulsive. Reminds me of how banana republics run. I fear for this country more and more every day.
Alan Grayson, you are no Joe Wilson.
You have to have the truth on your side for that kind of trick to work.

Who s running against this dork?? I want to contribute..........
Go Grayson go! Tell the Republicans to step aside so you clowns can OWN this debacle!!
Ugh. What a boorish ape. Who was it that said politics is show business for ugly people?
I say he's a dangerous person who should be commited for his own good and the safety of his neighbors.
>> you can lead, you can follow or you can get out of the way
He’s got a point. He’s a jackass and idiot, but he’s got a point! The GOP needs to put out a serious alternative bill and tell the RINO fence-straddlers to get back on the reservation. Let the Dem majority own this bill if it passes with no Republican to hang the blame on when it fails.
You can't make that many enemies that quickly and not expect to face consequences.
Why bother complaining to him? He’s doing a brilliant job. He’s showing how extreme the Democrats are and he’s purging the RINOs out. Republicans should take his advice and step aside and let the Democrats ram through whatever they want.
That is one cheap ass ugly suit.
What was that, moving in it?
Or maybe they want them to do it first and then attack them. If the GOP does this right I have a feeling that Graysons vote to cut Medicare by $450 billion will not make him very popular in Orlando.
He is doing a brilliant job of disgracing our country. The note I just sent him. Won’t do any good and might even get me on a watch list.
“I realize I’m not from your district but I wanted to let you know that as a Floridian I find your comments on healthcare repulsive. The lack of respect you show the democratic process is disgraceful and unworthy to grace the legislative halls of our great Republic. I am a Republican and a Conservative. I will not get out of the way of the disaster being rammed through Congress.”
No one yet. They are all afraid of him.
He needs to quit snorting paint chips.
Has this guy ever been diagnosed with Tourette’s?
If not, somebody ought to have him checked out. Of course, it might just be a simple case of diarrhea of the mouth, a common libtard affliction.
More hate speech from Grayson?
Somebody just needs to whup this boy’s ass.
Hell, if I lived 20 miles to the east, I’d run against him myself! It could be like shooting fish in a barrel.
The way this guy is going, his opponent will hardly have to do any fund-raisers and can just play Grayson sound bites on Orlando radio. The district is Republican 90% of the time and will surely go back that way unless Grayson takes an appointment as ambassador to the Maldives or something equally obscure and someone competant runs for the Dems.
my friend you are unfortunately correct...i lived in one of those countries for the last 6 years...only recently returning here...i was amazed how much (to the worse) this country and it’s population has changed in that time...the dumbing down is unbelievable here...we are truly moving more quickly to a “banana republic” than any of them are moving to a “developed country” status
The pubbies have put out something like 10 alternative bills. Too bad Pelosi won’t let any of them get a fair hearing.
HUBRIS ALERT!
They have just decided to ignore the 1.76 million who just suddenly appeared in DC last month, haven’t they?
Never happened.
Donations to his opponent for 2010.
Grayson speaking = Democrat Party Anus Farting
I wonder if this is something that can be repealed in a couple years or if.it will be so broad and powerful that it lives forever.
No, the GOPers woould be censured if they tried it.
Prime illustration..of how Democrat’s see politics as their religion...and are even willing “to die” for it...while Pubbies try to pretend politics is a friendly squabble over country club regulations at the bar in the clubhouse.
Because they are afraid they will be forced to apologize like Wilson for saying, "They Lie"?
agreed...I thought thinkgs were going to change but it seems they are purely just a bunch of pathetic wimps...
Hey Grayson, lets be honest with the American public. Tell the real reason you and the rats want health care. You want more control over the public and with an added bonus, 20,000 new union employees to keep your rat azz in power!!!!
Grayson is a real piggie. I sure hope his district wakes up and dumps his goatsmellin’ ass next time around.
I hope this guy keeps himself out front. The more he talks, the more idiotic the libs look.
This can’t help but turn voters off.
Actually we have a crowd of state legislators and local officials lining up to take on this cretin. After the dust settles the ones who want to go for it will start announcing. The primary isn't until Labor Day.
Disgusting pathetic wimps. It would be as if our soldiers, from the Generals on down, were accepting bribes from the enemy to accept defeat. This is as bad as that.
So many people aren’t doing their jobs. The “journalists” aren’t investigating their own government and the “Republicans” aren’t standing up against the lies of the Democraps.
Webster is the only one I’ve heard mentioned who is left. Hope he doesn’t chicken out or we’re screwed.
