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.
