Grayson: GOP wants 'you to die' (Freshman Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla. in House floor speech)
Politico on Yahoo.com ^ | 9/29/09 | Jonathan Allen

Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., warned Americans that "Republicans want you to die quickly" during an after-hours House floor speech Tuesday night.

His remarks, which drew angry and immediate calls for an apology from Republicans, were highlighted by a sign reading "The Republican Health Care Plan: Die Quickly."

...

"It's fully appropriate that the gentleman return to the floor and apologize," said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, another Tennessee Republican.

But none was forthcoming from Grayson — a freshman Democrat from a competitive district — who said the first part of the GOP approach to health care is: Don't get sick.

"If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly," he said.

Even the DKoz fears that Porky Schtick Dreck is vulnerable in 2010. To make it so, we all should put this on our calendars, look up his opponent in May or June and then send whoever it is a few bucks. Just an idea.

Wonder if it is one of the FL districts where Gov Crist didn’t see any voter fraud but the Disney characters voted or some of the area where over 100,000 voted in FL and two other states — same people.

Make him a target for defeat this year!

Isn't this the guy (Grayson) you said was a national treasure?

Whose side are you on anyway?

I think Disney World actually is in his district, so maybe there is a plausible excuse if some Disney characters did show up and vote...

So the choice is die quick as a free person or live long as a slave to the government. I’ll take the quick death.

And the democrat health care plan?

“Die slowly in excruciating pain while waiting for the government approved appointment for your examination 8 to 9 months from the day you discover the unexpected lump or bloody stool.”

Yeah, mr. rep. alan grayson, D(*ck)-Fla, that's one heck of an improvement.

He’s a Mickey Mouse politician who will be ousted in 2010.

A few FReepers rang the alarm regarding Grayson's nutty partisanship, but here's a thread where it's not that obvious:

Calling the president a liar when he is lying = racist, sexist, homophobia that is punishable.

Saying Republicans want you to die = funny. Why don’t you guys lighten up? :)

Any questions?

At his only town hall meeting, held in a 126 seat Union Hall, 95 of the seats were given to out-of-district Dem organizers, union members, ACORN and the like. Real voters got the remaining 31 seats.

Greyson only let in 31 of the 1100 people waiting outside in the hot Florida August sun. There were WWII vets in wheelchairs, seniors, disabled people, but Greyson kept them outside so his goons could run the show.

When with only 31 real people there, the questioning got pointed, Greyson said his toddlers were in the audience, it was past their bedtime... and left!

He is scum.

Grayson’s Florida 8th District is traditionally Republican, 70 percent white, and includes about half of Orlando and stretches up to Ocala. Grayson beat the Republican incumbent in 2008, 52 percent to 48 percent which was the same margin Obama won by. I don’t have the exact demographics but this area is heavy with retirees like most of Florida. Grayson is likely committing political suicide by pushing ObamaCare. He will lose a majority of seniors and they vote.

Hey Grayson, the GOP only wants one person (well their career that is) to DIE in your district and that person (so-called) is YOU!

The rest is complete capitulation to Your Lord and God Obama from drinking his Death Care Kool-aid.

Maybe you can still pray to deliverance from your God, because come next year the good citizens of your district are going to toss you to the street like the ordinary garbage that you are.

Enjoy loser.

That democrat guy is obviouly trying to reverse the “death panel” charge...
An old marxist stuff which is accusing your opponents of your own vices and wrongdoings.

Bad try!

I grew up in Orlando when Gunter held that seat. It could very easily swing back to the GOP.
