Alan Grayson

Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., warned Americans that “Republicans want you to die quickly” during an after-hours House floor speech Tuesday night.

His remarks, which drew angry and immediate calls for an apology from Republicans, were highlighted by a sign reading “The Republican Health Care Plan: Die Quickly.”

Veteran Tennessee Republican Jimmy Duncan abandoned customary reticence to chastise Grayson.

“That is about the most mean-spirited partisan statement that I’ve ever heard made on this floor, and I, for one, don’t appreciate it,” Duncan said.

“It’s fully appropriate that the gentleman return to the floor and apologize,” said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, another Tennessee Republican.

But none was forthcoming from Grayson, who said the first part of the GOP approach to health care is: Don’t get sick.

“If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly,” he said.

Paula Dockery could be a contender for Governors mansion.  Already the Draft Campaign site (http://www.dockery2010.com) has received more traffic in one week than most sites in Central Florida see in a month.  This has to say something for the Senator.

People are hungry for a real change.  It seems they voted for change last November but we haven’t really seen any yet.  Senator Dockery seems to be a zephyr in a stale world.  If the GOP was smart they would make her the poster child of the NEW REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Paula is not only Smart and Beautiful, she is a fighter.  She single handily fought of a HUGE corporation and was outnumbered by lobbyist about 4-1 in Tallahassee.  However she still came out victorious.  This is a modern day David and Goliath story.

Paula’s record of service in the House and Senate speak for themselves.  She has always put citizens first and we need to make sure that we elect Representatives that embody that.  To often it seems special interest control our elected officials.

For this reason alone.  I can say I see why the new popular phrase is “I’m a Paula-Tician”
