Resolution Denouncing Alan Grayson (D) Coming?
Written By : William Teach

Catching up on the Alan Grayson affair from yesterday, in which I figured that there would be no condemnation resolution submitted by the GOP, well……….

House Republicans changed course on Wednesday and decided not to move forward with a resolution condemning Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Florida, for saying that the GOP health care plan calls for sick people to “die quickly.”

“It’s a very simple plan,” Grayson said in a floor speech about health care on Tuesday night. “Don’t get sick. That’s what the Republicans have in mind. And if you get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: die quickly.”

Tom Price, the Georgia congressman who chairs the conservative Republican Study Committee, announced Wednesday morning that he would introduce a resolution condemning Grayson for breaching House decorum.

But a few hours later, Price decided to hold his fire and give Grayson a chance to apologize to House Minority Leader John Boehner for his remarks.

OK, giving Grayson a chance to apologize. Queen Nancy gave Joe Wilson a chance to apologize…..wait, he did. Just, not on the House floor, so they said bad boy, no biscuit! And I doubt one will be coming, since Grayson doubled down and compared health care shortcomings to the Holocaust saying he’d apologize to the dead. Back to the original article

Asked if he will introduce the resolution if Grayson refuses to apologize, Price said “we’ll certainly consider it.”

He noted that House Democrats set a precedent for punishing bad behavior when they voted in favor of a resolution formally disapproving of Republican Joe Wilson for shouting “You lie!” at President Obama.

“That was the avenue that was defined by the Democrats in charge when someone breaches the decorum,” Price said. “So we chose the same vehicle.”

In other words, if the Democrats want to play these games, so will the GOP. I hope. They were way to passive during the Bush years, rarely fighting back with more than a shot across the bow. It would be about high time to fight dirty, like the Democrats do. Politics is a dirty nasty game.

The one cute talking point I keep hearing from squishy Republicans is that the “GOP is better than that. It is above all that.” They have sure acted that way, and look where it got them. Along with spending like moderate Democrats. But, they shouldn’t be. Politics has always been dirty. The GOP needs to learn to play in the mud.

Oh, and as for the “Party of No” TP? That worked very well for the Democrats through the first three quarters of the Bush years, no?

    We don't need to fight dirty, just honestly and consistently to hold these radical, power-mad liberals accountable for their actions. They've gotten used to getting a free pass from the media and a compliant GOP. Now it's time to hold their feet to the fire and watch them squirm.

  • Jack Schite

    Such honest words are rarely spoken about the do nothing right and only wankers would demand an apology. Mike m is likely afraid of his own shadow.

  • William Teach

    So, Nancy Pelosi and the other House Democrats are all wankers for demanding Joe Wilson apologize on the House floor? Thanks for that honesty, Jack!

    Grayson's hyperbolic rhetoric demeans every person who died in the Holocaust, every person who survived the Holocaust, every person who fought to defeat the Nazis and every person related or descended from any of the other people I mentioned. What a disgusting excuse for a legislator.

    I guess "Rent-a-Troll" is running short on staff since most of them are in the Obama administration, huh D_N?

  • Mike_M

    The funny thing is that as soon as people start asking questions around liberals, the liberals seem to lose their jobs or get swept under the rug. Van Jones, ACORN, Bill Richardson, Tom Daschle, Nancy Killefer, Scott Polakoff.

    If there's one thing that terrifies liberals, it's being forced to answer a question or held up to scrutiny. The fact thet they're going batsh*t crazy on Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin for asking questions about Obama demonstrates their fear.

    Pelosi will doubtlessly try every trick in the book to quash the Grayson resolution. Defeating it with a party line vote would be even more embarassing than having it pass since it would expose the Dem's blind partisanship.

    Axelrod must be scraping the bottom of the barrel. However, look for some fresh troll blood the closer we get to Palin's book coming out. "Unprecedented levels of pre ordering" is how it has been described.

  • BIG

    You have to understand, Holocaust has a different definition to liberals than it does to most other people. Let's look at the PLO-Arabs for a prime example. How many times have we heard that a holocaust is being perpetuated against them by the evil Jews? Now in my universe, when a holocaust is perpetuated against a people, their numbers decline. But in the case of the PLO-Arabs and the people Grayson is claiming to represent, a holocaust means their numbers increase???

    I'm not a troll. If you can't understand the difference between showing disrespect for the president versus calling an unpopular party out in the manner provided for such a thing, you're not worth Having a discussion with.

    Does this mean you're leaving? GREAT! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

    Sorry, don't Let the door Hit you on the Way out. I forgot to randomly capitalize first letters. LOL!

    "Unprecedented levels of pre ordering" is how it has been described.

    You know, Nixon, that must really piss liberals off. So much of what they do in the publishing and even the broadcasting world amounts to commercial bupkiss, and so many conservatives do quite well for themselves commercially. Every time I hear a lefty denouncing someone like Rush, or Levin or Malkin, I chuckle at how envious of their success they sound.

    I predict that the left will claim that Beck personally purchased a large quantity of his own books to boost sales while dodging questions if Kennedy's family did the same thing.

    BTW, I bought Beck's book for my Kindle, pretty darned good, so far. I think he is a little wacky on TV, but, his radio show is great, and so is the book.

    What's really amazing is that the Party of Butchered Fetuses, a/k/a the Party of Personality Cults, a/k/a The Party of SEIU Thuggery, a/k/a The Party of Public Child Indoctrination, a/k/a the "Democrat" Party would have the nads to accuse anyone of being Nazi-like.

    Talk about a case of pure projection.

    We have met the American Totalitarians… and they are people like Schite-for-Brains and Herr Grayson.

    I don't expect a resolution to arise nor do I want one. Let the Democratic party be itself–angry, selfish and rude. What better way to lose voters?

    I think this "denouncing" business is ridiculous and I hope the Democrats continue.

    Good because I believe Joe Wilson did the right thing. Obama is a liar and he should be called out every time he speaks.

    Everybody in the Republican party should learn civility lessons from Wilson. Our country would be better for it. On top of that, it pisses cowards like you off which is a great fringe benefit.
