I'll stand behind him on rooting out fraud, but the "die quickly" comment is unacceptable. I think he was hoping for Joe Wilson celebrity status, and nothing more.
I found out that Rand Paul is running against a different Grayson. Darn it. Would definitely like to see this tin foil hatter wingnut out of office.
LOL. Grayson seems to have the courage to really fight for a good health care reform bill. SOMEBODY needs to step up and speak directly. About time. If this guy is a "tin foil hatter wingnut" then we need a lot more of those! I like the idea of fighting against fraud for ALL government contractors. A Harvard educated lawyer seems like a good start in that battle. I'll bet you support fighting ACORN, but not other contractors who have committed fraud and broken the law like Blackwater.

Did you read the Harvard study regarding what happens to thousands and thousands of people who get sick and have no health insurance?

I support dismantling both fraudulent organizations. Sorry I don't fit neatly into your left/right paradigm. Grayson has no evidence to support his conclusion. Ergo, the tin foil hat comment.

With that comment, Grayson drew attention to this:
Btw, I don't think the "government" would be "dismantling" either ACORN or Blackwater. HOWEVER, the government absolutely should STOP GIVING THEM CONTRACTS = $$$$$$, really big money in terms of Blackwater and other defense contractors who have committed fraud .......
"The House of Representatives just passed a law to prohibit Federal funds from going to organizations that commit fraud against the government, in the form of Section 2 of the 'Defund ACORN Act' (http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h3571/text). Congress has five days to put down a legislative history around this bill to help judges and lawyers interpret the law. This gives us an opportunity to make an impact with a deadline of this Friday (9/25). You see, regardless of what you think of ACORN, it is laudable to stop taxpayer money from going to organizations that commit fraud against the government. So as per the bill's text, I'm going to put into the Congressional record a list of organizations who have committed fraud against the government or employs anyone who has."

His followup comment on CNN calling Republicans Neanderthals was unprofessional and juvenile. This type of speech does nothing to help healthcare reform.

I disagree, it appears to be really embarrassing the Republicans, and they'd rather not let the facts about what they advocate come out.
I'm not saying they advocate a quick death, but by stonewalling on health care reform - pretending to want bipartisanship to gain favor with the average moderately-minded reasonable American voter, but actually drawing it out to its hoped-for defeat - they are sitting by while thousands will die due to their protection of the status-quo.
Interesting that his comments come from the Pro-Choice party.... He never mentions how many babies die every day.
