After milking a call out of “you lie” by feigning outrage and declaring it untrue, a group of Democratic Congressmen have signed a letter seeking to give illegal immigrants access to health care.
There will be a line at the border if we do this.
Fearful that they’re losing ground on immigration and health care, a group of House Democrats is pushing back and arguing that any health care bill should extend to all legal immigrants and allow illegal immigrants some access.
The National Council of La Raza launched its own “flood their voice mail” campaign last week to put pressure on Mr. Baucus to expand coverage in his proposal to include all legal immigrants and to drop verification language in the legislation that would prevent illegal immigrants from obtaining coverage.

American voters are gaining their footing in countering the health care reform proposed by Obama and the Democrats.
The past week saw the number of citizens supporting the measure slip another two points to it’s lowest level yet.
Support has now dropped to 41%, while a full 56% believe correctly it is wrong for America.
These numbers were complied before it was discovered that a group of radical Democrats were trying to sneak a provision into the bill that will allow Illegal Immigrants to join the plan.
If such a provision succeeds, then many Americans will echo Joe Wilson’s correct label of Obama’s actions and give a collective “You lie”.
This move by Democrats will drive support even further south.
There was a CBS/NY Times poll released last week that actively sought to falsely portray the bill as having more support than is accurate.
Both liberal organizations favor the legislation, and skewed their numbers by polling a disproportionate amount of Obama supporters, ensuring an outcome that reflects their position.
This is akin to polling a group of conservatives and asking who they favor more, Huckabee or Obama. They sought to portray this as a snapshot of voter sentiment.
It was an dishonest portrayal of reality. A term frequently lost on the radicals on the left.
The Independents in these polls appear to have reassessed Obama’s direction & goals, and are heavily rejecting such a radical agenda.
