Pelosi Accuses Republicans Of A Double Standard
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) comments Thursday during her weekly press conference on the harsh rhetoric used by Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) on the House floor earlier this week, which accused Republicans of holding a double standard. Grayson came under fire for remarking “If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: Die quickly. That’s right. The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick." (0:17)

Grayson has it exactly right. And as for the Republicans and other conservatives: People in glass houses should not throw stones. Or maybe: You can give it but you can't take it. What a bunch of weenies. The repubs and conservs are really what what my football coach used to call CS. Grayson is right and hopefully this controversy will help intensify the spotlight on the need for reform. The GOP and other right wingers are really devoid of compassion and humanity.
