Drop Dead? Is That the Way Republican Reps. Talk to Seniors?

Here’s what Florida Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite said Tuesday on the House floor: “Last week, Democrats released a health care bill which essentially said to America’s seniors: ‘Drop dead.’ ” Tony Fransetta, president of the Florida Alliance for Retired Americans, is outraged by Brown-Waite’s injudicious and downright ugly comment.

If you read the bill, that's pretty well what it does say. Why are they vilifying her for saying what's so? It's the damned Democrats and President that are saying "Drop dead," not the lady that quoted them.
