EDITOR OF REDSTATE

Tom Price on Alan Grayson

Congressman Tom Price will be offering the following resolution at noon in response to Alan Grayson saying, from the floor of the House, that the Republican health care plan is to not get sick and if you do get sick to “die quickly.” The resolved clause is identical to that the Democrats used against Joe Wilson (R-SC).

Whereas on September 29, 2009, during proceedings on the floor of the House of Representatives, Rep. Alan Grayson from Florida described the Republican health care plan as “die quickly”;

Whereas on September 29, 2009, during Rep. Grayson’s speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, he presented a sign for display, which read, “The Republican Health Care Plan: Die Quickly”;

Whereas on September 29, 2009, Rep. Grayson repeatedly stated that “Republicans’ health care plan” was for Americans to “die quickly”;

Whereas on September 29, 2009, Rep. Grayson concluded his speech by saying, “Remember, the Republican plan: Don’t get sick. And if you do get sick, die quickly.”

Whereas the conduct of the Representative from Florida was a breach of decorum and degraded the integrity and proceedings of the House; Now, therefore be it

Resolved, That the House of Representatives disapproves of the behavior of the Representative from Florida, Mr. Grayson, during proceedings on the floor of the House of Representatives on September 29, 2009.

    I don’t know when it started (Jan, Feb, Mar?), but these people have been routinely using wit and grit at a level not seen since early 1995.

    Well done, guys and gals.

    I hope that this continues for the GOP house delegation. What took them so long to finally grow a set.

  • Crowe

    Joe Wilson shoulda introduced this.

    Headline News and CNN will throw this in the trash bin without a second look?

  • Richard Mullins

    and we’ve been needing you to show up for a long time.

  • Richard Mullins

    I was figuring that as well. Maybe CNN will you Don Lemon to show Tom Price had a racist reason for it(Yeah, I know Grayson is white).

    Besides, I’m proud to have my own Congressman sticking it to ‘em. I can’t wait to read the Letters to the Editor in our three little Roswell newspapers. At least one of them will mention this gutsy move by Tom Price, and some “progressive’ will write in to complain about it. I’m going to write in my own letter to thank Mr. Price.

  • blooch

    that there’s no ammo here to use against him. If Tom Price was in any danger in 2010, you can bet they would be spinning this for all it was worth, but he’s real solid here, so down the memory hole it goes.

    And that angers me to no end. They’re still backing people like Crist and Mark Kirk. Probably Fiorina if I was guessing.

    Apparently it’s considered SOP that you hand your ‘nads over to the Sgt. At Arms when you enter the Senate chamber.

    Except Fred D. Thompson. Of course.

  • E Pluribus Unum

    The answer to all questions.

  • Richard Mullins

    if he was still a senator or possibly President?

    and that they’d be giving US ammo to again remind folks of it… That it is the Obama “just give ‘em a Pill and let them Die” attitude that is OF THE DEMOCRATS not us! We’ve been over this ground, but it appears some (JackAss Party) folks need reminders.

    The ultimate HC Q: Will Fetus’ about to be Aborted qualify for End Of Life counseling, or is that reserved only for Seniors about to be effectively Euthanized by/from Rationing?!?!

    Now this . . . man . . . is likening the lack of socialist health care to a “Holocaust in America.”

    Someone needs to hit that red light; let him know he needs to get off the stage QUICKLY.
