Michael “Mike” Yost, candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in Florida’s 3rd Congressional District made this statement today in reference to Rep. Alan Grayson’s “Holocaust” reference yesterday:

“Rep. Grayson’s egregious remarks on the House floor that Republicans want to see you “Die Quickly” deserves an apology to the House members. Even more egregious were his reference to Republicans not supporting the Obamacare plan as creating a “holocaust” to Americans without health care. Rep. Grayson has gone over the top as over 6.5 million Jews, mentally ill, gypsy’s and other “non-productive” members of Nazi Germany were sent to the concentration camps to be ravaged as labor and sent to their deaths that we refer to as the Holocaust. Health care in this nation isn’t causing people to die as no one is refused treatment.”

“His reading of the Republican plan that offers real reform through private solutions and limiting malpractice suits through Tort Reform must have made him have a real brain hemorrhage. Being a personal injury attorney, he apparently can’t support anything that would restrict his ability to bring suit for anything from a pimple to a mole.”

“Rep. Grayson not only needs to apologize to the Republican members of Congress, but owes the people of Florida’s 8th District an apology, including the Jewish community, who he apparently is very insensitive toward with his “holocaust” remarks.”

Once again, this is exactly the type of rhetoric from the Democrats that results in the inability of Congress to bring about real health care reform. Republicans have brought no less than 8 proposals to the table for consideration, and instead of looking at what effects they would have in making real reform, they allow Representatives like Rep. Grayson to make comments on the House floor and then in interviews blatantly claim he refuses to apologize to anyone. His further “holocaust” remarks on the House floors are nothing but indications that the Democrats really don’t understand that the real victims with Obamacare will be the average worker, the elderly on Medicare, and low-wage earners of this nation.

Taxes will soar, fines for not purchasing insurance will be put into place under the Senate plan, and creation of additional layers of government controls will lead to the deterioration of our present system. Fewer will enter the medical field resulting in longer waits for care and many hospitals and medical centers will be forced to close under these plans in Congress today.
If you want real, bold and accountable Representatives in Congress, then support Mike in his effort to bring real reforms to the health care issue. Many of our health care problems have been a direct result of Government involvement and creating more government to solve a government problem isn’t the solution. It will only lead to a destruction of this great nation financially. Help elect Mike as he will fight to reduce the size and scope of government and bring REAL Constitutional Liberty to all Americans.
