Rep. Grayson (D-FL) was discussing the Republicans’ lack of ideas on healthcare. Grayson commented on his statement a few years ago that the Republican healthcare plan for the uninsured is for them to die quickly. Grayson said, “Look, its been four years, I wish they’d prove me wrong. What is their healthcare plan? The only thing they even natter about is tort reform. Well. We’ve had tort reform in Florida, and thirty eight other states now for the last twelve years, believe me, Florida is not a medical paradise. Or they want interstate licensing of health insurance companies, so that the big ones can swallow up the little ones, just like fish and leave us in the hole. No, look they’ve got no solutions to any problems. They just want to whine. In fact that’s the real name of the tea party as far as I’m concerned. The whine party, because all they ever do is whine.”

Rep. Grayson demonstrated how Democrats can fight back and go on the offensive on almost any issue. The Republican Party is so divided that they can’t agree on anything, which leaves them in a position of trying to defeat Democratic ideas with nothing. On healthcare, the Republicans have nothing. On jobs, they have nothing. On every issue, they have nothing.

The Republican reaction to the Harry Reid’s decision to nuclear and reform the filibuster is a perfect example of how empty their party is. When they lost the ability to obstruct, Republicans started whining, and whining, and whining.

In order to defeat the Republican Party, they must be exposed for what they are. A party of backseat drivers and endless whiners. Grayson handed Republicans their heads, and every Democrat in the country should do the same.
