| Florida Congressman Alan Grayson joins the death squad |
| 2009-10-01 |
| It was wrong when Sarah Palin and some other conservatives were running around talking about "death panels" this summer, and it's wrong and tiresome now when a Democratic congressman, Alan Grayson of Florida, assets that "Republicans want you to die quickly." From Politico.com: Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) warned Americans that "Republicans want you to die quickly" during an after-hours House floor speech Tuesday night.This is an elected, uh, leader? Spare us. No wonder public confidence in Congress is heading for negative territory. It's true that having a prolonged illness is extremely hazardous to family finances in America. I know someone whose family was forced into foreclosure and bankruptcy because she lived too long with cancer. If that was Grayson's point, he needed to find a high road to make it. "Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm! Barak Hussein Obama! He wants to kill yer mama! Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm! |

| #6 Your "Death Panal Advocate" (DPA) will most likely be a Rec Parks major on a 24/24/24 employment contract- 24 years old/ making $24K per year that HR hopes will last 24 months in the position. I will more likely die trying to choke the little bastard in my living room. |

| #2 If I was on a death panel I can think of lotsa people who'd get the thumbs down from me. Sadly, I'm of an age where I'd be more likely to be in front of it than sitting on it... |

| #1 So how exactly was it wrong to call the death panels "death panels"? When care is rationed that will lead to inevitable death in the short term, instead of eventual death due to disease or natural causes, at some unknown time in the future, how is that *not* a "death panel"? By that logic, lethal injection of murderers isn't the death penalty, because they would have died eventually. |
