Last night, in a controversial speech on the House floor, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) announced that the Republican alternative health care proposals would force sick Americans to “die quickly”:

It’s my duty and pride tonight to be able to announce exactly what the Republicans plan to do for health care in America… It’s a very simple plan. Here it is. The Republican health care plan for America: “don’t get sick.” If you have insurance don’t get sick, if you don’t have insurance, don’t get sick; if you’re sick, don’t get sick. Just don’t get sick. … If you do get sick America, the Republican health care plan is this: “die quickly.”

Why haven't Liberals been hitting these notes all year. I am not talking about the bought and owned conservative Dems, but the Liberal Democrats. Why haven't they been on the talk tv shows, the radio shows, running ads framing the repukes this way?

Why have they allowed themselves to play defense for so long, responding to idiocy like death panels, socialized medicine and care for undocumented workers?

The corporate shill obstructionists who value profit over YOUR LIFE should be hounded day in and day out as to why they care so little for Americans' lives. Every repuke and conservadem should be asked, 'Why do you support the Pay-or-Die system?'

2. Hillary said the same thing YEARS ago.

She said the Republicans wanted people to not get sick, and just drop dead (paraphrasing).
