Grayson gets cut off on the House floor
Orlando Congressman Alan Grayson's latest speech on the House floor ended prematurely when he was cut off by the clerk.
Grayson was reading off the names of Republican members of Congress and the number of people estimated to die without health insurance in each district.
In the middle of the remarks, a Republican Congressman complained, and the House went into recess but came back a short time later and Grayson finished his list.
Watch video of the speech below (the complaint comes in Part 3):

What others are saying
- Gray-sonianYes, I agree - California, home of the fruits, NUTS, and flakes would be a perfect nesting ground for this critter.
Graysonheimer, are you listening? Pay attention: YOU ARE NOT WANTED IN FLORIDA, go home, go somewhere else. Go run for governor of Cally-furnia.
(they need people like YOU real bad). - He's not making a speech, he's performing for the cameraJust watch his eyes! He knows where the camera is and that's who he is talking too! This guy is in love with himself and he faked us out here in Orlando JUST ONCE. He has a habit of having to move somewhere else to have a chance at getting elected! From NYC to Hunter's Creek and then to Windermere. Hopefully he will move to California next since he won't win here in Orlando again. Also you all need to check out a new website here in Florida called: mycongressmanisnuts.com. I'm sure it will be getting his attention real fast, just not the kind he craves!
- GraysonOnce again Grayson exhibits to the nation that he is “…a fry (maybe more) short of a happy meal…” Everyone in the US will receive health care. It is mandatory that every hospital emergency room in the US treat those that ask. It may not be the most cost effective, but they will be treated. Republicans are not opposed to health care reform. They are opposed to nationalizing the system that will eventually put medical decisions under government control. How can anyone (except those a few fries short) trust a government that cannot effectively operate Social Security, USPS, Amtrak, Medicare and Medicaid…all of them are going bankrupt. It is interesting that at his town hall meeting in Tavares he would not take any questions on the then democratic health care bill 3200. Oh how courageous he is when no one is allowed to ask him questions.
- Grayson out in 20101st of all @ Gigi just so everyone knows he's not from orlando, he moved here from up north just to run for office. Maybe this is why he doesn't know or care about us in central florida. Let's watch out for others that move into districts just to run.
2nd of all this guy is truly a disgrace, everytime he opens his mouth he rambles nonsense. These #'s are not correct. I heard a lot of the #'s he shows are from the illegals that don't have insurance here in the states and that's because their illegals. He has no scientific results.
Just wait to see the #'s of the dead rise quickly if we get national health care. Many more will be dying because they can't get in to see a doctor(long waits and many doctors will be out of business here in the states) or they're told they're to old to be bothered with. Has no one looked at the problems the other countries that do this have? Say to bye, bye to Grayson in 2010 and say help to Patricia Sullivan. www.patriciasullivanforcongress.com - Gayson lies and freedom diesGrayson, they dont die because they dont have insurance, Be real, I have a friend who just had a quad bypass no charge.. the hospital did not let him die. Your dead? who let them die, Not a congressmen as you name... You Lie Grayson and only idiots believe your lies. Clean the house in 2010 start here. Vote Patricia Sullivan for congress.com
- The Problem with Health Care "Data"Mr. Grayson's data is totally unscientific. If he really cared about Health Care, he would at least find a study that actually supports what he's saying. Pure sensationalism, that's all his speech was.
Do we really want this sort of shoddy science coming from our Congressman?
I'm ready for a CHANGE! - GraysonSome people think Alan Grayson has courage, he does, when he is speaking from the safe floor of congress or surrounded by his union shills at town hall meetings. Otherwise he doesn't open his mouth. I said it before and I'll say it again all he is is a flunky for the Obama administration. Thank goodness we have conservative candidate Patricia Sullivan to take his seat next Nov.
- Your headline is misleadingFrom reading the text of your story it seems the headline should read "Grayson gets interrupted on the house floor"
Which "Republican Congressman" did the interrupting? - Alan Grayson is a yutz and a putz.
- Too StupidHe is too much of a loud mouth to see how dumb he is. Lawyer=Grayson=LIAR
- DummyIf this dummy loves the government insurance plan why did he vote against a bill that would require congress to be part of the same plan? This guy is the big buffoon I have ever seen...
- StatisticsI would like to hear how many people died in these same areas, in this same time frame, that HAD medical insurance. We all are destined to die and unfortunately pay taxes!
- A disgrace!Sorry to say I'm represented by this guy. I've been a democrat all my life until now. I'm changing my registration, I want no part of this guy or this party.
- Nobody says it better!This man has intelligence and awesome courage. What a breath of fresh air to hear someone who calls it like it is. I wish there were more like him representing us.
- I can assure you those on the left are fiercely proud of Grayson's behaviour.
And frankly, you should be ashamed of yourselves for offering up political rationalizations for the people dying in this country due to lack of health insurance.
Why don't we blame Democrats until the bill and public option is fully enacted?
Because at least they're trying to fix the problem instead of just offering the blatant distortions of reality and lobbyist-inspired, petulant, contrarianism of the Republicans. - GraysonInteresting that Republicans are more upset over Grayson than over the preventable deaths of so many Americans.
Grayson has the guts to tell the truth - and the truth hurts. - DeathMaybe Disgrayson's daughter will be next to die at the hands of the insurance companies. But those brainwashed and happy to be the product of abuse will simply let it pass. The ONLY country in the industrialized world without universal medical coverage ought to tell you something. Instead of feeling "special" we're dying because of greed.
- We can live forever!Alan Grayson has solved the death issue - we will ALL live forever if we just have health insurance! Yes!
- We can live forever if we just have insurance!I am so happy to know that Alan Grayson has solved the death problem. By just having health care insurance, we will live forever - yes!
- DisgraysonThis political whore, who sold us (CAP & TAX vote) for $50m of PORK for the Hurricane center nobody needs - is out of his mind. He's a disgrace to Orlando and must be booted ASAP. He should know that even his beloved Pelosi-SEIU health care monster bill does not kick-in until 2014, so why doesn't he accuse the Dems for the dead until then???
- GraysonI'm ashamed to say he is from my town Orlando,Florida. he has a big mouth and thought he'd be a big wheel in washington. thing is even his own party is sick of him--ugh to you grayson.Your a liud mouth BS artist.
