Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson generated conservative anger with a speech last night in which he said, in regard to the GOP health care plan, "Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick." (Watch it at left.)
The comment prompted calls for Grayson to apologize from Republicans and the threat of the introduction of a resolution of disapproval on the House floor similar to the resolution censuring Republican Rep. Joe Wilson for his "you lie!" outburst at President Obama.
Now Grayson has apologized – though it's probably not going to placate his critics. On the House floor this afternoon, the confrontational Florida representative said he wanted to apologize because according to a Harvard study, more than 44,000 Americans die every year because they lack health insurance.
"That is ten times more than the number of Americans who have died in Iraq and who died in 9/11," he continued. "But that was just once. This is every single year. That's right. Every single year."
"I call upon the Democratic members of the House, I call upon the Republican members of the House, I call upon all of us to do our jobs for the sake of America, for the sake of those dying people and their families," he went on to say. "I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America."
What Grayson is, is a WHORE!
Like BOR, he plays both parties for ratings.
# 1 whore BOR
# 2 Whore Grayson
He’d better stay in good with the dead. Unlike the GOP, the dead often vote for him.
I thought Obambi is the one who told the old and sick they had best take a pill and get out of the way?
Don’t forget its the dems who want to ration medicare funds for old people so they can pay for all the young poor people whoi will be paying taxes the next 30 years....
Republicans have repeatedly laid out their alternative plans. The bi-cameral Sen. Coburn (M.D.)/Rep. Ryan plan and the House Republican Study Committee (Chairman Tom Price, M.D.) plans are but two of the free market, patient-based solutions put forth by Republicans this year—both full bills, not outlines like the Baucus fiasco being marked up in the Senate Finance Committee right now.
That the media doesn’t cover them is another story.
In the 64 years since world war II Democrats have controlled the house all but 14 years. So they are mainly responsible for this “holocaust.”
