Bravo, Rep. Alan Grayson, a Real Democrat With A Spine
Bravo, Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL) a true Democrat, a Democrat with a spine.
From Think Progress: "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.'
“ 'I don’t think the Democrats need to be on defense,' Grayson told reporters. 'I think we should be on the offense and not the defense, and that’s where I plan to stay.' "
