Wow. I dunno how I feel about this. I mean, it's exactly what is happening, and it's pretty good satire, but he's too angry to laugh at. Jon Stewart or Stephan Colbert could pull it off, but this man in a blue suit doesn't do it right.

This guy is my new hero. Someone who actually has the balls to speak up and not concede to right wing batshittery. If Republicons can talk about their fake death panels and killing senior citizens, why shouldn't Democrats talk about the real people dying from lack of health care?

"a little too lib", in other words, "a little to REAL".

The GOP health-care plan is simple.

1) Destroy reform efforts, and thus the Obama presidency

2) Win back Congress

3) ???????

4) Profit!!

Mmmm, that's good satire

That video is totally false. The Republican Health Care plan is "We'll Break Obama".

Alan Grayson is awesome.

Personally, that health care plan would be awesome for me. At least for a few years, until all the baby boomers die off. :)

I only have two problems with what Representative Grayson said:

(1) His rhetoric is a bit over-the-top (but given the current amount of crap flying from the right on this, I'm willing to give him a pass on that).

(2) This goes way beyond just Republicans. The Republicans basically seem to have only one goal: Make sure Obama fails at all costs. Unfortunately, they're also getting assistance from a small group of Democrats, who are trying to kill reform for a completely different reason (ie. to appease the companies that have contributed to their campaigns).

I'm increasingly starting to feel that maybe we need to stop referring to Senators and Representatives by their parties and what state they're from, and start referring to them by who their biggest contributors are...

For example, instead of:

Chuck Grassley
Senator (R - IA)

it should be:

Chuck Grassley
Senator (Amgen, Blue Cross, SMC, Occidental Petroleum, DaVita)

and instead of:

Max Baucus
Senator (D - MT)

it should be:

Max Baucus
Senator (Schering-Plough, Goldman Sachs, KKR, AIG, Aetna)

It would certainly clarify their positions and voting records a lot better than party/state.

Well, I guess I have to stop associating idiotic hyperbole with the republicans.
