Yesterday, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) said the Republican health care plan is “don’t get sick,” and if you do get sick, “die quickly.” After offering those facetious and sadly accurate remarks, Grayson came under criticism from Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), who demanded that Grayson apologize on the House floor. Speaking to reporters this afternoon, Grayson said, “Yes, it was tongue-in-cheek. I’m surprised I have to explain that, but that’s the way it goes these days.” He added that he’s “not taking any of it back” and will “stand by what I said.” When asked if he would apologize, Grayson offered this response:
“I would like to apologize,” he said. “I would like to apologize to the dead.”
Grayson added in another apparent dig at the GOP, “We should care about people even after they are born.”
Think Progress » Grayson stands by criticism of Republican plan: ‘I would like to apologize to the dead.’
Overall, good article.

However, this is what I consider to be the quote of the year:
Grayson added in another apparent dig at the GOP, “We should care about people even after they are born.”
I would like to apologize, he said. I would like to apologize to the dead.

If he appologized to the dead, its simply a tip to a major constituency of Democrats.
Sounds like more scare tactics from the Left. "If you don't pass Obamacare, everyone is going to die!!!!"
You should know. Can you say "WMD"?

You obviously have me confused with a Bush supporter. Nice try, however, to change the subject.

The subject? Are you referring to your assertion that this amounts to nothing more than scare tactics from the left? You must have me confused with a moron.

Did you really mean to set yourself up like that? From the OP:

Scare tactics. Now stop trying to change the subject, moron.

Why are they scare tactics? The GOP has done nothing but try their best to kill reform since day one. How are Grayson's remarks untrue?
We should care about people even after they are born.
It's funny because this was really the whole point of me posting this:
We should care about people even after they are born.
That quote, right there. Those on the right are so hellbent about every child being born, but they don't want to provide any help for that child if the parents can't afford it. However, they will go ahead and bitch about all the parents who can't afford to have the kids and have them anyway. The double standard is so obvious it's as if it is smacking you in the face to recognize it.
