Enough with the partisan games says Brady

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (R-TX) released the following statement after reports that Democrats will offer a resolution of disapproval against Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) today in the House:

“Enough with the political games,” said Brady. “Congressman Wilson has apologized to the president, who has accepted his apology. I could cite equally objectionable behavior Congressional Democrats should apologize for – like ignoring House rules that allow members of Congress time to read bills before they are voted on.

“But instead of wasting floor time we should be focused on improving health care without resorting to a massive government takeover that will lead to rationing of care, staggering debt and government interference with the doctor-patient relationship,” Brady continued.

Brady also noted that since Democrats have the votes to pass health care, this resolution is more of a distraction from Democratic in-fighting over health care than anything. Brady will vote against the resolution of disapproval.
