“It's not about covering the uninsured in this country, it seems to me it's all about control,”

BINGO! We have a winner!

1,200 people turned out - not bad.

Did anyone here attend? I put this one off and will likely attend the one in Gastonia on Thursday, instead.

One older man worried the USA will but controlled by a foreign country in 30 years? It happened last November gramps.

Sounds like a good crowd. Is she a lib? Weddington is pretty conservative. Charlotte is starting to look like Mexico City on the east side.

Excellent meeting it sounds like! More and more Americans are coming forward and being heard! Sue Myrick is one of the good ones in Congress, though. God bless her!

And in second place ...

“We have a beer-drinking, cigarette-smoking, name-calling president."

“The proposals being negotiated in Congress do not provide coverage for illegal immigrants.”

Writer just HAD to perpetuate the lie. While technically correct, it is absolutely functionally wrong. If you are not allowed to determine a person’s immigration status then they will be provided “free” health care by default. Without screening, it is only those who obey the law who will NOT voluntarily exclude themselves. And EVERY illegal immigrant has already broken the law at least once.

It is smoke and mirrors libtard lies...and it is an assault upon the American people and way of life. Damn them all to hell.

Damn it. Changed thought in mid sentence re those who obey the law. Y’all know what I meant.

Hard to think straight when so mad.

One theme I’ve seen, consistently, from the left on this issue -

if you call them on their lies, you’re rude.

Bttt. Southernnorthcarolina is nearby. I couldn’t keep the baby out that long, with uncertain parking and bathroom facilities.

Although, with only 1,200 people there, I might have managed it in retrospect. It’s a big high school, lots of parking.

Another man asked Myrick if she opposes the federally funded health care programs of Medicare and Medicaid.

Her answer should be yes.

LBJ deliberately lied about the cost of the program to get it passed.....it is now being used as a cry by the left that its a beloved and therefore sacrosanct program and see? people LIKE it. It sucked in 1964 and it sucks now.

[My understanding is you have no choice when you reach an age but to be on it.]

The proposals being negotiated in Congress do not provide coverage for illegal immigrants.

Given that the House Ways and Means Committee rejected an amendment that would have required the government to verify that those enrolling in the "public plan" are not illegal immigrants ... I'm calling BULL5H1T on this statement

it is about control,,,look at the unions...thats obama’s army and what they control... if they can take over healthcare they control who gets jobs in nearly every sector of our lives.
its kind of like the last piece of pie.

Myrick: “You're the government, I work for you.”

That's the most refreshing, hopeful thing I've read in a long time.

BUMP!
