rssTom Price: We’ll Scrap Grayson Resolution If He Apologizes

Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) is holding off on his resolution slamming Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) for his “die quickly” remarks, explaining that Republicans “would give Congressman Grayson an opportunity to do the right thing and recognize the comments that he made were disrespectful to the House and to the decorum.”
Why’d Price introduce the resolution?
“That was the avenue that was defined by the Democrats in charge when someone breaches the decorum,” Price said. “So we chose the same vehicle.”
Isn’t there a problem here? Price, like 166 other Republicans, voted against the Wilson resolution.
Meanwhile, the NRCC has set up a fund dedicated to whatever GOP candidate gets in the race against Grayson.

Many Dems need to apologise for their lack of support for the changes that the American people are demanding.

[...] It’s also worth remembering that Congress did vote to chastise Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., for calling President Obama a liar during his health-care speech to Congress, so one might conclude that there is little appetite for this kind of rhetoric in Congress. (And never mind that the primary Republican calling for Grayson to apologize, Tom Price of Georgia, voted against the Wilson measure, along with 166 of his party mates.) [...]
