Representative for the 8th Congressional District of Florida Alan Grayson has said some rather outrageous things during his tenure in office. As a quick refresher course, here is just a sampling of some his past comments: he referred to the Anti-Defamation League as a “crazy, racist institution,” he sees the United States military as a treasonous institution that will “undermine Obama unless he pursues neoconservative policies,” and called Senator John McCain a “crazy cancer-ridden dishonest madman.”
Well, it appears it is about time to add one more to the list. Appearing on the floor of the United States House of Representatives on Tuesday, September 29th, Representative Grayson claimed that the Republican health care plan made it clear people were not to get sick. If people did get sick, he said, the plan called for them to die quickly.
As the video demonstrates, President Obama, speaking this past August, said, “Where we do disagree, let’s disagree over things that are real, not these wild misrepresentations that bear no resemblance to anything that has actually been proposed.” Hmm … it appears Rep. Grayson wasn’t listening.
Another possibility is that he is simply letting it all hang out at this point, knowing full well that he won’t be reelected to his seat in November 2010. Grayson’s district has a partisan voting index of R+2. And while it barely went to Obama in the last presidential election, it went strongly for Bush in both 2000 and 2004. There is a strong possibility that Alan Grayson, like so many of his Democratic colleagues in both houses of Congress, know their time left in office is very, very short all of sudden.

Mr Grayson has very little to say. Why make accusations and not give proof of what he does say.
This is typical of the weak mind and a mad man. I pray for him.
Perhaps there are those in Congress that can actually work on how to have a program that does not bankrupt this country and cares for citizens. To suggest that any one wants people to die is time for voters to rid themselves of his office.
Thank you so much! Just prior to hearing Rep. Grayson’s statement I was wondering why the elected Democrats don’t stand up face to face PUBLICLY to Republicans by using the “republican rules.” Republicans will not ask for civility from their own, then guess what! We learned when growing up to play by the rules.
