Florida Democrat Alan Grayson's 'Die Quickly' Remark »
Posted By Eagle_Eye 2 months, 3 weeks ago in Health & FitnessWASHINGTON (Oct. 1) - House Republicans say it's payback time for the recent reprimand of one of their own for heckling President Barack Obama. They want a Democratic lawmaker to apologize or face a reprimand for saying the GOP wants Americans to "die quickly" if they get sick.
Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla. — a first-term congressman known for a provocative style — refused to back down on Wednesday.

No comparison between Grayson's remark and the "You lie!" outburst at Obama in the fully seated Congress...

Anyone who cannot understand the scathing sarcasm of his remarks probably doesn't have an IQ over 80. Loved his "apology" as well. Sorry but the Repubs no longer deserve much common courtesy. They have dragged us into the mud right with them. You reap what you sow!

Strange sense of hero you guys have,,,, and to think you on the left got so worked up when Obama was called a liar, which Obama proved was a true statement a few days later when he said he'd just make them all US citizens 'so he wouldn't be giving illegals' health care.

HIs apology was outstanding. I'd love to have seen the faces on those clown CONS when he delivered it. 47,000 families lost loved one's last year due to no insurance access, while CONS have sat on their asses for decades doing NOTHING but try to get rid of medicare. Grayson is my kind of politician. He takes no sh*t from the CONS. Of course the creeps are at this moment trying to dig up nonsense against him, and if they can't find it will make it up. I'll hold out hope that democratic Floridians are smarter than the conservative ones about propaganda.

It's not about payback. It's not about left and right or even dems and repubs. It's not even about the fact that Grayson is full of crap on several different levels. It's about right and wrong. Every one of your mothers will tell you that. Shame on you guys.

Tell that to the 3 young son's my little brother left behind after dying 3 weeks ago from cancer, he was shuffled around for 8 months before any one acknowledged his cancer and began treatment. He lost his pool company and health insurance and no one wanted to touch him with out insurance. It was a plea from me to my Doctor who saw him and put him in the hospital for treatment, but it had spread to his liver...he lost valuable time that could of saved his life.
Go read the stories here on health insurance nightmares!!!

All republicans do is trash what democrats try to do. They don't have 'plans.' That was made abundantly clear every GD time they've held power in Congress. NOTHING gets done when they're in power. (other than short work weeks for themselves).

"But yeah he could have said that, but it would be a lie, since we all know that every SINGLE death in the US over the last 60 years were directly related to something connected with the Democratic party policies. "

--You're sounding more unstable by the day, slate. Might want to get some professional help.
"Oh yeah,,,,,,, If those Invertebrates had a backbone they would have voted on the bill months ago. What are they waiting on winning every seat in the House and Senate to lead..."
--Why are you asking me how our government works? Because you're poorly educated or because you support those who got KICKED OUT of power last fall? -

Oh yeah,,,,,,, If those Invertebrates had a backbone they would have voted on the bill months ago. What are they waiting on winning every seat in the House and Senate to lead (since they’d have no choice then without any Republicans to blame). How many seats does it take for dems to lead,,,,,,,,, all of them,,, anything less means they still have a chance to blame others for their utter failure as leaders. ; - ).

There should be NO apology of ANY sort from Grayson until the Republicans apologize for ALL of THEIR following LIES --
Reply
- "Death Panels" in the proposed healthcare bills
- "illegal immigrants" in the proposed healthcare bills
- Democratic health care plans propose taxes on “charities and small businesses. A doctor’s tax. Taxes on your health insurance. Even a tax on medical supplies.”
- “300,000 American women with breast cancer might have died” if our health care were “government run”
- The proposed healthcare bills say that "a government committee will decide what treatments you get"
- The proposed healthcare bills say that "Community-based Home Medical Services" means "more payoffs for ACORN"
- The proposed healthcare bills say that your health care will be rationed
- The proposed healthcare bills mandate audits of all employers that self-insure
- The proposed healthcare bills say that the federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer
- The proposed healthcare bills say that an employer MUST auto-enroll employees into the government-run public plan
- The proposed healthcare bills say that Employers MUST pay healthcare bills for part-time employees AND their families
- The proposed healthcare bills say that Officers and employees of Government Health care Bureaucracy will have access to ALL American financial and personal records
- The proposed healthcare bills say that there will be a prohibition on hospital expansion - hospitals cannot expand without government approval
ALL of the above are FALSE, and all of it came from REPUBLICANS.
Apologize for ALL of those LIES. Then maybe we can discuss whether or not Grayson owes anyone an apology. (Actually, he does not, because what he says is the HARSH truth ... http://pol.moveon.org/dawn/?id=17404-8643592-JZUf9... )-

Your posting of the place where you got tose lies from is very telling. moveon.org a Sosos owned site that pushes his agenda and the Democrats since he claims to have bought the Democrat party. That site love to promote lies and people like you just fall in line and spout that nonsense.

I posted above to a bunch of them and most are lies. Some while being fact are red herrings.
Refute the page I posted above about how death panels are already in existence in Oregon under the state health care plan.
Refute that Medicare is going to cut the top billing doctors by 5% to punish them for providing more costly health care for those who are sick. Rationing. They are cutting the Budget of Medicare. Rationing. Rationing means that some people will die. Oops that means death panels under the guise of cost cutting.

Not much of a hero according to my blog. Especially someone as corrupt as Grayson who "stacked" his town hall meetings. Don't believe me . . . click on the link and find the real truth behind this cry baby. All the videos are there. A lot of you have sipped too much of the kool-aid.

There is a story on propeller entitled "The anger of the festering fringe", posted by ameliog. In it he describes the absurdity of arguments made by individuals who disagree with Obama.
Reply
I wonder. Do the remarks by this democrat moron in the florida house warrant the same type of revelling about a "festering fringe"?
Truth be told folks, the festering fringe is on the left and it occupies the Congress and is in control of the WH. But of course, you won't see ameliog denouncing this scumbag because he wants our healthcare industry unionized.
Talk about lunatic fringe. Yikes!-

PROVE that Grayson lied.
Meanwhile, see my above post about the MANY LIES spread by the REPUBLICANS. And that is not even a complete list!
Who has either admitted that their statements are lies or has apologized for spreading all of those lies? -

If you actually believe this retard that Republicans want people to die, I can only say you must be a ideological hack.

The thing that bother me most about this moron is that he compares our healthcare system in America to the holocaust. To the systematic killing of six million people. He compared Hitler's genocidal attempt to wipe out the Jewish people to the American system of health care. Hitler's concentration camps are our hospitals. Our intensive care units compare to Hitler's gas chambers. Hitler's wrist tattoos are our hospital ID bracelets.
You can't really accurately convey the outrage of Grayson's statements. The only reasonable conclusion you can draw here is that Alan Grayson is mentally disturbed. Nothing else works.
Apology? Forget it. Coming from this insipid fool it would be meaningless.
