[QUOTE="WaterOverGold, post: 2008781, member: 639207"] Believe it or not this was not as bad for Wilson as you seem to assume. Many people, though they won't say it in public, were relieved to see at least ONE representative stand up and say something in the face of Obama's bullsh"t. Was is the wrong venue?? Yes. Was the sentiment sincere and mostly accurate?? Yes. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/letters/bal-healthletter0910,0,5949222.story President Obama is clear: No illegal aliens will be covered by the proposed health care reforms. That is probably not technically a lie. But the president also knows that is not how it will work in practice. It is another application of "Don't ask, Don't tell." If it is absolutely true that illegal aliens are not to be covered, then why did Democrats in a House committee on July 30th vote against an amendment, offered by Rep. Nathan Deal, that would have required health care providers to use a verification program to prevent illegal aliens from receiving government-provided health care services?
