He needs to apologize to the Republican citizens.

If anyone is saying get "sick and die quick" it is THE DEM AND OBAMA! It was their idea to come up with this NEW PLAN.

NO HEALTH PLAN...

FIX THE ONE WE HAVE!!!

Greta, lots of problems posting on the main blog.. today I can't post there...tried twice to leave a comment about the Pic's , nothing happening.. this portion of the blog still working, so far!!

Remember -- the Dems make the rules, "they won the election" according to Obama. They make the demands for apologies, they don't make apologies. It seems we live in a different world since the last election .. I can't wait for the next rounds of elections, both 2010 ans 2012.

Thanks for your in-depth reporting Greta.

I believe A.Grayson is demonstratiing a high level of stupidity to support his extreme position as a Democrat. His statements do not represent what Republicans or Conservatives really propose and he should be ashamed.

2009-10-01 01:50:55 ET

Greta: I was so mad when I heard Grayson who is over the top. How dare these Democrats try to pull the wool over our eyes. They have denied access to view the bill, and are trying to add the health care bill to another bill, to cover up hidden proposals in the new bill. They are taxing working Americans, and taking away our quality health care to pay for illegal aliens and those who do not work for a living and do not pay for health care. We are being cheated and disregarded and this Grayson has the nerve to compare this to the holocaust. Excuse me, but these Democrats are screwing up the health care system, so they can get more votes from illegals and stay in office, or crowd out Republicans forever! They are totally Corrupt!

Grayson did not say anything that the Republicans have not been saying all summer in town hall meetings and yes on the floor congress. If he is required to apologize to congress ,so should all the others who made similar statements.
Joe Wilson refused to apologize to congress for his out burst, calling the President a liar, so why should Grayson?

It is a pretty sad to see how low most politicians have sunk with their rhetoric. Not only should he apologize to congress, but also to the entire country for his childish behavior. Amazing how loud the left yelled when the President was called a liar in the chamber, where are they now.

Most 5 year old children have more manners!!!

Where is that idiot Alan Grayson from? He does a real number on the image the Democrats are trying to promote as their own. You know the one where they palm off a bright shining LIE and tell us it's the Republican's plan? Democrats are the party that cares, Republicans are the party that scares. Wanna bet?
As a Democrat, I refuse to identify this bunch of trash as the real thing. Too much wrong being done in the name of Democrat for anyone to heed their call. All they are is "socialist wolves" in "Democrat sheep" clothing. I HATE THEM AND OBAMA AND HIS ADMINISTRATION!

Ralphie

I don't want an apology from him. He wants us to make a big production out of this to give him his "15" min of fame. I don't want anything from the Liberal Left. Let them keep sprouting off their mouths!

Even if the Democrats passed their health-care plan and Obama signed it tomorrow, the "Holocaust" that Grayson demagogued about would still continue until 2013 I believe. Congressman Alan Grayson left out something in his "presentation". He forgot to show the cue card that said "Democrats want Holocausts to continue for at least 4 more years."

carole
2009-10-01 02:31:08 ET

I guarantee you that if a Republican on the floor of Congress said Democrats want citizens to die and quickly, Democrats would be demanding apologies.

This man will not apologize but we can remember what he said.

Also, they better not pass any health care bill without allowing the American people to read it! We run this country OR ELSE!

Eyes have been opened. WE THE PEOPLE run this country, not Communists who have sneaked into our institutions.

Do I smell war? Whatever it takes.

Good grief !!!! Why does everything have to be compared to the Holocaust? This guy needs to shut up since he is embarrassing himself and he will realize it when he sobers up. This is so inappropriate.....trying to say that anything measures up to that level of genocide. The Holocaust is in a class of evil unto itself and should never be used so frivously. I am ashamed of most of our people on the hill. They stoop to new lows every single day.

To start with, Wilson didn't speak falsely, just out of turn. Grayson is lying as are you, ravenous wolf in "FAIRMINDED"(?) sheep's clothing". I'm a Town Haller. Are you calling me a liar? It's time you changed your name since the absence of a mind only proves you've never used yours and it has atrophied.

This guy is a real disaster. I certainly hope his constituents see what, not who they've sent to Congress! His actions are a clear characterization of the party line rancor that has brought our government to an utter standstill. Lacking any modicum of leadership from our "President", this is the kind of partisanship which is expected by the leadership. Obama, Pelosi and Reed, the "Gang who can't shoot straight". This is the politic of the far left. When people disagree, discredit them!

Ron
2009-10-01 03:09:24 ET

Grayson should learn how to act as a Congressman. He is new to the role and has shown just how much of an idiot he really is. One good thiing is he should feel at hom in the Obama administration. A true group of idiots that should start listening to the folks that matter. The people of the US that pay taxes that supports the world. Good luck with the unemployment percentage.

Phil H
2009-10-01 03:09:50 ET

What a complete moron! Grayson's outrageous behavior doesn't even compare to that of Joe Wilson, whose outburst was instantaneous and for which he apologized to Obama. This jerk just didn't know when to stop and kept dragging out the nonsense, including the use of the term "holocaust". I think he needs to apologize to the Democrats for putting what may have been the final nail in the coffin of the health care bill.

Rep.Grayson is foolish. We need transparency from all politicians on both sides. It would be helpful to have 'ONE ITEM BILLS' so that pork cannot be included in these bills. One issue at a time! We need improvement in our healthcare, but let's see it item per item. Let's stop going for just anything. How can you trust these fools we voted for in congress. They ALL need to be voted out. Why should I pay for everyone else's abortion for beginners. Illegals insurance! If I'm illegal, I'm going to present myself as an illegal for health insurance! Does that make sense? What kind of a country takes from one to pay for others who live their lives foolishly (excluding those with warranted conditions.) Let's vote them all out, especially those like Alan Grayson of Florida!

2009-10-01 03:12:43 ET

Alan Grayson won election over Ric Keller who in some ways dishonored the trust that Orlando expected he deliver. However, Alan Grayson is a dispicable individual who should have never won election. His election tactics were as distasteful as his comments on the floor of Congress. Lets hope the people of Orlando throw him out...He does not represent me(thank God) because I live in North Orlando in Longwood, still represented by a sane honorable official.

i think the dems are a bunch of babies.they can't get the repubs to play hardball with them so they do not play fair.that is called poor sport.fix the plans we have .tort reform,,interstate purchase of insurance pre-existing conditions included,tax credits for the middle class, medicaid for the really poor or tax credit to buy their own.that way we are deficit free except for the really poor who are already on imedicaid.reform the things that are wrong .don't destroy good healthcare and also we need reasonably priced catastrophic insurance and no discrimination for age,should be included.about 40 pages in plain language,no excuse then not to read.ji am one of the mob ,an independent voter,one of the many who will not vote any democrats in 2010 and 2012.GO SARAH GO

Kim

2009-10-01 03:16:33 ET

Greta, I had to vote that he should apologize as the other option didn't work either.
I don't want his apology; I want him out of congress as he's a liar!

Another issue: why does Michelle Obama have to take separate jumbo jets to go to the same places that her husband is going? They are spending more in tax dollars for fuel, staff, etc. than the olympics will bring to their precious Chicago where hundreds of innocent people are gunned down every year.

American politics sank to a new low since 2008 and that downward spiral is gaining momentum. I believe the majority of our nationally elected officials must have sworn some secret oath to turn a deaf ear towards the very people they are supposed to represent. I am so tired of the vicious character assassinations emanating from those blame pointing idiots whom we expect to be above the average in intelligence and civility. Grayson's venomous rhetoric makes me wish all the more there were term limits.

Brett
2009-10-01 03:18:30 ET

Why should he apologize? He pretty much sums up just how much Republicans seem to care about whoever is without means to pay for health insurance: "if you lose your job, and you can't afford to pay for care - you should not expect any help from government." You fought Medicare tooth and nail and now you have the audacitity to act hurt over this? Hah. Supreme hypocricy! The shoe fits, WEAR IT.

Mary Kerr
2009-10-01 03:19:35 ET

I think Alan Grayson is trying to make a name for himself. Whether this was a tongue in cheek comment or not, it deserves an apology to both Republicans and senior adults that have been offended by his unthoughtful words.

Edwina Hewett
2009-10-01 03:23:32 ET

Shame on both parties for acting like a bunch of scrapping dogs, apologize, what's the point - none of it means anything and my guess is that Grayson's commentary is yet just another way to keep the public off balance and off track - in my opinion, activities as those of Mr. Grayson are more than likely an attempt to relocate public attention from what is really going on up on the hill. I am desprately looking for a reason to remain a member of the republican party and would greatly appreciate it if my party were to act adult, do what we hired them for and get to work.

XdemXrep is on to something. Since the bill isn't going into effect until 2013, the Dem's are the one's that are keeping the 'Holocaust" going. If Obama was truly serious about the healthcare issue, he would make it implemented immediately!
So the signs truly worked for the Dems because they must want people to "die quickly" ! What a bunch of hipocrits!
Let's not give Grayson his 15 min of fame!

edith scissorhands
2009-10-01 03:29:42 ET

What a dumb ass!!!! Yes, he should immediately apologize for his actions! We need the Republican input, so we do end up with an honest healthcare package, but the stupid Dems keep voting any and all revisions down, no questions asked. My answer to this? There should be no Dems and no Republicans - all Independents!

Freshmen Congressmen are to be seen, not heard. Grayson should only apologize, for making himself known to the public. No one cared.

2009-10-01 03:51:47 ET

I am sick and tired of the Dems claiming some 40000 plus uninsured Americans die every day. Where do they get thier numbers, what documentation supports their claims. How reputable are their sources mentioned above. I worked for an agency of the US government for 35 plus years and I dealt with family budgets, real estate loans, delinquency servicing, and repayment abilities. Believe me they have SSI and medicaid, and even those that have none of the above are given tremendous health care and usually never pay a cent back. I have seen people with house payments of no more than $80.00 per month and incomes of less than $1000 per month that had answering machines, cell phones, wide screen televisions, big cars and trucks, etc. And they love a lofestyle that is so much less stressful than ours. They don't worry about paying their taxes they get earned income credit, they don't worry about Doctor Bills they are free. I have never seen the first one of these persons die due to lack of health care. I have seen them die like we will all do some day, but I honestly think they will outlive most of us in the "middle class" because of the lack of stress brought on by excessive taexs, dental, and medical bills, and people like Grayson redistibuting our hard earned wealth. I don't care if he apologizes or not he is an idiot and a socialist fool.

I will leave you with this thought after 35 plus years of civil service and seeing the waste and fraud in the US government in the foolish use of our tax dollars believe me you do not want the federal government of this country controlling our health care insurance.

Linda Cooper

Grayson said he told the truth and he wouldn't apologize; Joe Wilson told the truth but he apologized for being out of line and in doing so he showed respect which has proved profitable for him. Perhaps Grayson thought he would follow suit and get media attention and help his bid in the next election?! Unfortunately, most of the media will show his large printed cards and even without their usual verbal jabs at the GOP, his message will be remembered. The Holocaust was outrageous...hopefully that will finish him with the Independents which he needs to be re-elected!!!

Linda Cooper
2009-10-01 04:12:14 ET

He should not apologize. Speech from the House floor is protected. He is a fool and now everyone in America knows it, thanks to Fox.

We need to get away from talking about Congress people who are stupid or do stupid things. I hope the people of Florida are listening and do their part on election day.

His apology should be to all citizens. We have a right to expect more adult, professional behavior on the floor of Congress. I equally didn't like Congressman Wilson's outburst, but then, he didn't accuse anyone of committing a Holocost.

Carolyn

Grayson is from Florida near Orlando. His district leans right. I wonder how he got elected. More work of ACORN? Florida does have trouble with democrats in charge of elections. They are a lot like Chicago and Ohio where ballot boxes from conservative areas disappear and they "find" ballots from liberal areas in the truck of someone's car. Anyway, elect anybody but democrats in 2010 and if he is still there then the House will have a new leader (it won't be Pelosi) and they can censure Grayson and bust Charlie Rangle for tax evasion and failing to report property he ownes here and offshore. Maybe he and his wife who is being investigated can go to jail together.

Typical rederic of the times that will be aired on CNN, etc. I grew up in a normal Family, my father was a WWII Navy Vet. He never talked about it, but instilled quality and craftsmanship in me and my siblings. He was a nationalist and so am I, I am a citizen of the USA, not some dicatorship where people stand in line for health care. Berok Obama is not a nationalist, and spent his youth with no Father to instill real American values. I cannot believe the USA has come to this. I can only pray to the lord.

The reason this Florida Congressman should apologize is that he assumes this is how Republicans feel. It is his opinion, and nothing more. My cards would show that Democrats want a MONOPOLY, which is government-run Health Care. He is an Idiot.

This is typical of a politician, shifting the blame on someone else. Shame on the rest of the House for allowing this to happen. Shame on any journalist who interviewed or interviews him, by not pressing him for the evidence to support his claim. This is another perfect example why stupid people should not be allowed to vote or run for office. But then again, he is a chip off the block, the democrat block. I guess Grayson does not know how to count. The democrats have the advantage on voting power! Maybe Grayson went to school with Harry Reid and did not learn a Damn thing!

HE IS 'PROJECTING WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING TO US' on to THE REPUBLICANS WHEN WE ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING OF THE SORT..

IF WE HAVE 'ANY DECENT DEMOCRATS LEFT' THEY SHOULD THROW THEIR BODIES IN FRONT OF THIS STEAM ROLLER TO KILL US AND ENSLAVE US, AND OPPOSE THIS ARROGANT LYING, RACIST, MARKSIST FRAUD, OBAMA AND HIS VILE PUKE CHICAGO CZARS, CREEPS , THUGS AND CROOKS AND STOP THIS INSANITY AND DESTRUCTION OF OUR COUNTRY, OUR PEOPLE AND OUR LAWS.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY USED TO STAND FOR SOMETHING. THEY HAVE LOST THEIR SOUL AND 2010, THEY WILL LOOSE EVERYTHING ELSE.

THEY WANT 'US TO DIE EARLY' AFTER ACHIEVING OUR HARD FOUGHT FOR AND PAID SENIOR YEARS... AND THEY WANT 'THE BABIES, TO DIE' AT THE BEGINNING OF LIFE SO THAT THEY WILL NOT BE INCONVENIENCED AND HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM..

ANYONE THAT SUPPORTS THESE IMMORAL, VILE PUKES SHOULD BE HUNG.

If anyone is saying "Die Quickly", it is the Dems that are pushing this healthcare overhaul. Just get tort reform, that would cure about 85% of the problem. But, wait a minute, the lawyers are supporting Obama's agenda. Can't do that! Oh well, let him rant.

2009-10-01 14:26:14 ET

Yes, apologizing is in order.....In addition, David Letterman - who is in the same pathectic category like this guy - should apologize as well.

LETTERMAN- A CASE OF MOUTH-DEFECATION SYNDROM____

Democrats are AFRAID of Limbaugh,Hannity,Michael Steele,AnnCoulter,Laura Ingraham,Glenn Beck,Mchelle Malkin,...and very afraid of 'WE',THE PEOPLE' of this great country,and MONUMENTALLY TERRORIZED BY GOV SARAH PALIN, who everyone knows she could delivers much better presidential leadership than Obama.____

Palin's 'Alaska Formula', adjusted to nation-wide proportion can implement efficient answers to the economic arena.After all EVERYONE KNOWS that she has MUCH MORE, BY FAR, much more DIRECTORAL - EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE, than Obama and Biden together.____

The public knows this, and so,the electorate are having second thougths about this current pathetic administration.____

LETTERMAN, REPRESENTATIVE OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF LIBERALS ULTRA-OBAMANIZED, SORRY PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A DECENT MAN, CANNOT PRODUCE NOTHING FUNDAMENTAL AND LEGITIMATE TO GO AGAINST SARAH PALIN. ALL OBEYS TO THE FACT THAT GOV PALIN REPRESENTS AND IS A THREAT TO THE CURRENT OBAMA GANG CORRUPTED ANTI-AMERICAN, TERRORISTS FRIENDLY ORIENTED ADMINISTRATION LOADED WITH ENEMIES OF THE STATE WITH AGENDA OF DESTRUCTION FOR OUR COUNTRY.____

LETTERMAN CAN DEFECATE THROUGH HIS MOUTH AS MUCH AS HE CLOULD POSSIBLY LIKE TO DO (FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS HERE)... DO THAT TASK JUST LIKE 'PEREZ HILTON' DID (ACTUALLY NOT HIS REAL NAME)...ANYWAY THE ARE IN THE SAME SORRY PATHETIC LOW-LIFE,PSEUDO-EDUCATED LIBERAL MORONIC-LIKE THEM PEOPLE.____

AND SINCE THIS IS AMERICA- STRONGHOLD OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH ( so far) - HERE IS MY OPINION;__

LETTERMAN AND ALSO "HILTON", CAN BOTH WRITE DOWN THEIR "JOKES AND COMMENTS",....ROLL THEM AND PLACE THEM ANY PLACE OF THEIR CHOICE, INCLLUDING ONE WHERE THE NEED OF A PROCTOLOGIST WILL BE NESCESSARY FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE ROLLS....AND BY NOW , I KNOW THAT YOUR IMAGINATION IS FLYING HIGH.____

And how that plays out for you?__

No apology needed, and no punishment from the Republicans either...two reasons why...

1. He has the right to free speech...and he is free to say what he wants and make it obvious to all that he is a fool.

2. The Republicans need to stop looking across the aisle and attempting to reform the Democratic Party. First they should be looking within and rooting out the corruption and disregard for the constitution that is rampant with the Republican Party.

NO HEALTH PLAN. Let's start with tort reform, and let the FREE MARKET decide.

Above all we need to get back to the CONSTITUTION!!!!!

I do however agree with him regarding the Treasury!! At Bernekes' last Senate hearing he asked "Why did the Treasury give - I think it was Sweeden (not sure) - a half of TRILLION DOLLARS last November when our Economy was crashing!!! He said that is equal to $130k per citizen!!! He did call for the Treasury to be Audited and I Agree!

Alan Grayson and his fellow liberals in congress may cause the deaths of seniors with their $500 billion in Medicare cuts.

Greta, I'm just waiting for a fist fight to break out, though anyone who punches Pelosi risks getting Botox on their fists.

In all seriousness, I am sick to death of what they are doing. Almost 3 weeks ago, I had to put one of my 3 beloved pugs to sleep. He was my rescue, came from a puppy mill originally, had some deformities and a more difficult life than my other two who have been with me since they were puppies. He got sick and went downhill quickly. The vet's office found a mass in his abdomen and the odds were way against him. The best thing to do was put him to sleep. I anguished over that decision and cried until I hyperventilated. I held him, kissed him and talked soothingly to him, telling him it was okay to go. He let out an anguished, though weak cry as the medication was being injected. I'll never get it out of my head and I still cry when I think about it. Right before I buried him, I held his cold body in my arms and stroked him, telling him I loved him and that I'd see him on the Rainbow bridge. And Pelosi says I'm a Nazi because I go to tea parties. Now, let's go review some of what the Nazis did.

They killed people. Lots of people. They encouraged hate toward certain races and committed genocide. I went to a very peaceful protest where we had people speak and people applaud. We had American flags and we sang American songs. Nobody yelled or called anyone names. The area was clean when we left, unlike the inaguration pigs who were there.

And I resent being called a "teabagger". I'm sure at almost 70 years of age, Nancy Pelosi has heard the word "teabag" as a slang term and knows what it means. For those of you who do, you know it's an insult to be called a teabagger, especially if you're female, because you don't have the equipment to do it. However, I'm beginning to wonder if Pelosi does.

I'm kind of torn on Grayson. On one hand, we have the Dems sinking their own ship with stuff like this - that kind of stuff will only attract the extreme far left and jerks like Michael Moore. No true Dem is going to believe his crap. If they want to act like they belong in the psych ward somewhere, let them. People are starting to see behind the facade of some of these fiberals and I'm not sure I want him to apologize for this (I do, but I'd rather see him self destruct). Let them remember him being such a jerk. An apology would not be sincere coming from him because I believe it would only happen because of pressure from his own party. I think we've actually seen more remorse from Michael Vick and that's not saying very much as I still get the urge to smash the TV every time I see him. What's happening with Grayson is he is showing his frustration. We all know the fibs like to have hissy fits when things don't go their way, and they act like they're 3 years old. They get louder and louder, repeating the same thing over and over and when all else fails, here comes the name calling.

What conservatives have to do is maintain their cool, let the dems make the mistakes and keep applying pressure until we can actually do something about the dems from a voter perspective. In 2012, Bill O'Reilly for presdient and a cabinet filled with Rush, Sean, Greta and especially Glenn Beck. The Beck appointment would cause many heart attacks. Sure, it's a nice fantasy but I can dream, can't I? It keeps me from obsessing about an unqualified president who is in over his head. I didn't like Bill Clinton much but at least I never felt unsafe in this country, even with all the military closings. For the first time in my 42 years, I am very very worried about us. God bless this nation and keep us safe.

Take care everyone and sorry for being so long. I suffer with the same thing as Stephen King - diarrhea of the word processor. :-)

I am continually reminded when I listen to the Dem's. Some are sincere and are Democrats, because they really do want to help to better the human condition, but can't see the true agenda of the leaders of their party. Throw the poor scraps to buy their loyalty, payed for by the tax payer. It's discragraceful!
Most say one thing, but do and mean exactly the opposite. I think that whether the president realizes it yet or wants to except the fact yet, that he's no longer the greatest orator of our time. The more he talk's the less people listen. Yes he can read a tela prompter. It's a little scary, he sounds quite different off the prompter.
Hello Democrat party, think about it! The more you talk the less anyone believes you!
Ram Rod this through and you'll all be looking for a new job. Maybe you should remember that we put you into office, ignore us and we can take you out.
THINK about THAT!

Personally, a month ago I could have given two flying figs if he did or not. I really wouldn't care.
But, after what happened to Wilson; being called a racist, insulting the president, him apologizing to the president and that apology accepted but Pelousy still demanding he apologize on the House floor yes Grayson must apologize and be reprimanded for his BS.
Grayson will not be forced to apologize, however. And this is the key point.
The extreme bull fecal matter of hypocrisy by democrats is showing it's ugly head once again.

SOLICITORS DEFENDING CRIMINALS THEY HAVE A LOT TO APOLOGIZE FOR..AM I RIGHT?____

It seems that FUNDAMENTAL VALUES AND PRINCIPLES FOR DECENCY are very much ingnored by an increasing number of individuals ....I wander if the deterioration of society has to do with the negative effect form the ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL AND AND ANTI-AMERICAN ROADS OF CONDUCT TAKEN BY THE PRESENT OBAMA GANG CORRUPTED ADMININTRATION that choose to wave the THEIR RESPONSABILTY TO PROTECT THE COUNTRY IN ALL PHASES.

So to reiterate a point,here is a pathetic example of that;____

THE POLANSKI CASE;

This guy,did ABUSE, RAPE, AND MISTREATED A CHILD.....and after that, he did run away, hide and had a formidavble life at large,... like "all-is-ok".

From where I stand, his genitalia should be cut-off,...testicles and all,...EVERYTHING! and then, put him in jail for as long as he lives.

Harsh?...too much?....well,.... ask ANY parent of any molested/abused kid, and tell me what comes out from the research.

AND AS FOR ANY LAWYER WHO DEFEND THAT KIND OF SCUM, LOW-LIFE, PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR HUMAN BEING....here is this, plain and simple;____

Ok, to ALL SOLICITORS THAT DEFEND CRIMINALS, here is this one for you;
Since you are defending this kind of individuals, - in YOUR VERY USED LANGUAGE - terminology and nomenclature, semantics, or whatever could be include...YOU ARE SOLIDARIZING WITH THEM AND SO YOU ARE AN ACCESORY TO THEIR CRIME (WHICHEVER MIGHT BE) AND THEREFOR YOU SHOULD AND MUST BE FACE THE SAME FATE AS THEM.

If they are crooks, then,...YOU ARE CROOK AS WELL!....Whatever they are ...YOU ARE TOO!

AND PLEASE SPARE ME 'THE CALL'; THAT ;- ..." BUT THEY HAVE RIGHTS..."
BLAST THAT! ...IN THE MOMENT THAT THEY TAKE, VIOLATE, AND ABUSE THE RIGHT OF OTHERS,...THEY LOOSE THEIRS AND IF YOU GO AND PAD THEIR SHOULDER,.... YOU DO NOT HAVE THEM NEITHER FOR YOU ARE AS BAD AS THEM!

It is TIME that lawyers be SERIOUS, RESPONSIBLE AND MOST OF ALL BE HONEST. STOP CORRUPTION!

Should an AWAKE OF DECENCY MORALS AND FUNDAMENTAL VALUES start to move among the ones who exercise in the law-spectrum and start REAL JUSTICE,,,MAKE NO MISTAKE ....CRIME (all kinds) WILL PLUMENT AT RAPID RATE.

And how that plays out for you?

Dear Greta

I voted No. Why? Since now I am a registered minority Repblijican------------I strongly believe in our "Freedom of speech." Moreover democratic leaders are different people. I do not belive that, he could express himself by advirtising his thought in riting-------he had the permision of the speker of the house. I am not an idiot, I can see the "PLOT." Democratic party wanted to Republicans to freak out. It is my opinion. Democratic party leaders think we are stupid. They need to wake up. Now 86% Americans are high school graguate. We get compaired with countris where people do not make a half black president. Can you see a half black president in Europe? Holocast happened in Europe. Compairing Holocast with our supirior medical system was horrible. Maybe that Congressman and his family should be covered with goverment health care and only go to county hospitals just like DPA.

His comments further point to the moronic and idiotic quality of people that we have in our government. I say, forget about an apology, it does the republicans good to have a dumbass like this spouting off this kind of craziness.

typical FOX - focus on the die quickly portion of his statement while eliminating other key portions of his statement, like, 44,000 americans die every year due to no or lack of proper insurance. Why was that omitted - WHY WHY WHY WHY. I have heard many elected Republicans over the last 2 months use the term death panels, democrats want to kill old people rhetoric.. Balanced reporting - how dumb do you think the Amercian people are?

He shouldn't apologize for two important reasons:
1) He meant what he said.
2) Nothing he says is worth hearing.
In general terms, what good is an apology, anyway? Unless it's sincere, it is nothing but an attempt to beg us to forget about nasty behavior. Whoever that clown is (I assume he's some sort of politician), he's a complete waste of oxygen.

Greta, Obama says he don't want to impose America's values on other Nations. I wish he would treat us American Citizens that way instead of Ramming his Health Care Bill and Cap & Tax Bills(His radical agenda) down our throat when a Majority of Americans don't want it. Polls show vast majority of Americans don't want it.

Yes, Congressman Grayson should apologize for his outrageous and uncalled for allegations. But he does not only need to apologize to his intended targets, the GOP, he also needs to apologize to the Jewish nation. He trivialized something that was one of the most horrific occurrences in the history of the Jewish nation. What was he thinking?

All these apologies are ridiculous. Grayson meant what he said even though it is a lie. Saying/doing something as planned out as his "presentation" is not done spur of the moment and was done for the effect. Congressional members need to grow up and stop playing games.

Yes, Alan Grayson should apologize but he won't. This whole new admn looks like Ali Baba and the 40 thieves!! These scare tactics and worrying everyone when we have enough to concern ourselves with these days is way beyond the pale and politics!!!I am sick & tired of these liberal left wing liberals making up the rules as they go along plus they are dividing the country. It really isn't about party but what is best for all Americans. Mr Obama really needs to be impeached, vote out as many libs as possible next time, and take Pelosi, Reid, and Dodd into hand. What a bunch of arrogant, self-serving
dummy-crats!! May God help us!!!

2009-10-01 23:54:57 ET

Where is the State Department and protocol??? Apparently they didn't inform President & Mrs Obama about not taking pictures of dignitaries children!! Every country has their own rules etc and it looks bad on Obama and the rest of us, that they didn't know about this ahead of time... Obama is too busy campaigning and being a celebrity plus flying everywhere he can --- instead
of doing what is best for all Americans. I don't trust him, he lies, he promotes racism, and does not care one iota about any of us.

Representative Grayson must watch too much Keith Olbermann - it's infected his mind will silly junior high level antics. And the democrats wanted Joe Wilson to apologize for calling President Obama a liar....at least Joe was right on about the lie about covering illegals. Democrats have killed every motion to require proof of citizenship for receiving services under the proposed health care reform--which makes Obama what Wilson called him.

Cuss
