Congressman Grayson's Microphone Cut Off Half Way Through His 60 Minutes! pt.3

[cwm355]

Typical Politician crap. Grandstanding and making up numbers. Fire them all!

[saybert]

(Remember, about 60% of the 30,000,000 without right now are eligible, but don't buy or apply for govt. plans available to them.) So what exactly are we going to spend 1.8 Trillion dollars for?

[saybert]

People died because they didn't have "health insurance." How exactly did they determine that they died because they didn't have health insurance? And if this monstrosity of a health care bill covers only 96% of all Americans, that leaves about 12,000,000 Americans still without health insurance. That's that same number that don't have any health insurance options now.

[fiandrhi]

I honestly don't get it. How was his "mic cut off"? It looks like the House recessed on some procedural matter. Presumably he didn't lose a second of his time and began reading after the recess. Do I have this wrong?

[shasamagoo]

How come in the Senate whenever there is a filabuster (especially now when the Republicans promise a filabuster to defeat any kind of health care revision) we hear that this procedure is ok with them. Grayson has the guts to tell the truth. If it makes the Repubs uncomfortable, so what? They have by there actions shown that they care little for the common person.

[Squirelbutt]

Damn couldnt grayson just get a huge posterboard with the list show the numbers and say the average is 100 people.

[kingsdun]

How common is it for someone to be granted 60 minutes in the first place?

[ThePaleWriter]

With all due respect, I wouldn't have wanted to listen either, and I'm a fan of his. You can't have a speech comprised of just listing names & deaths...That's about as insightful as a song with 2 notes. I'm sorry, but maybe next time he'll do better.

[dustinrorie]

While the congressman's methods are a little extream, he makes the point all the same. The fact is, there is one party that wants to do something about this problem and another party that wants to dig their heels in and stall the process. Meanwhile, hundreds of Americans continue to suffer and die every day; millions if you count their family members. I can't believe they cut him off like that. The time for being polite is over.

[BabybooR33]

i completely agree that our current healthcare system is a failure and that we can not 'afford' to 'wait' as people die BUT this current healthcare bill is hitlers dreams....

[theaaroneason]

Procedural techniques, of course

[RodgersRevolution]

Wow so much for the freedom of speech.

[sx200ser]

Grayson is awesome, I will not yield fuck you my words not his. can't bitch about ending the session as only democrat's can chair the house as they have the majority. simply speaking the speaker of the house is Nancy Pelosi if she is not there only another democrat can command the house.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

Grayson is a terrorist.

[RodgersRevolution]

I have had about enough of you you filthy pig.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

RodgersRevolution

Cry me a river pussy

[RodgersRevolution]

I would not do a thing for you. You are filth at the highest level.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

RodgersRevolution

"the highest level". Even your insults show how pathetically retarded you are. Speaking to you is like speaking to a dog that just shat on the carpet.

[RodgersRevolution]

Is that your best comeback? Nice logic. You bottom feeders cannot hold a candle to greatness.

[Wrexasaur]

Fail...

[Wrexasaur]

As in... Fail.

Grayson FAIL.

RodgersDanceDanceRevolution FAIL.

In fact, I fail due to my participation in this strange offset of reality.

Monty Python rocks, this whole debacle... clearly does not do so, as in, lacking in the rocking/ awesome department... I.E. FAIL.

[RodgersRevolution]

Well I do agree with one thing. Monty Python rocks. Life of Brain is awesome.
