Alan Grayson: People Like a Democrat with Guts [View All]

Asked if he expected Republicans to put forward a resolution of disapproval criticizing him for his comments, Grayson said he expected that it would happen, though he is "quite sure it won't pass." Rep. Tom Price of Georgia has drafted a resolution rapping Grayson for "a breach of decorum and degraded the integrity and proceedings of the House," though he has not yet introduced it.

"A resolution like that doesn't save one human being's life," Grayson said, arguing that it instead will give people reason to focus "yet again on the fact that the other side is incapable of even coming up with an alternative" to Democrats' health care reform efforts.

"I don't know how anybody can equate what I said on the floor…with rudely interrupting the president," he said.

"No one's drumming me out of office. I beat a forth-term Republican incumbent ," he said.

"I'm not going anywhere," Grayson added. "I don't even have an opponent yet."
