Lawmakers Mindful of 'Tone' Ahead of Health Care Repeal Debate (GOP singing Kumbaya with the Rats)
Fox News ^ | 1/17/2011 | fox news

Posted on 01/17/2011 3:46:19 PM PST by tobyhill

House Republicans, toning down their rhetoric slightly, plan to reset the debate over the health law repeal Tuesday on Capitol Hill, building a strictly economic case against "Obamacare" after pausing for a week out of respect for the victims of the Tucson shooting.

GOP leaders are in unison in arguing that they cannot wait any longer to resume debate on the health care overhaul. While the repeal stands scant chance of clearing Congress or withstanding a presidential veto, Republicans say the public demands Washington start early chipping away at the law.

Both sides, though, may try a little harder to keep the debate from becoming overheated. President Obama and Republicans alike reject claims that political rhetoric contributed to the shooting last Saturday in Arizona. But the president urged Congress to keep the discourse "worthy" of the victims. And in the days following, House Speaker John Boehner has noticeably avoided describing the bill as the "job-killing" health care law.

Fox seems to be out in front leading the “kumbaya” mantra. I have noticed a change in Fox reporting over the last several weeks, tilting more and more left. Or, maybe it’s just my imagination...

“Democratic Rep. James Clyburn told Fox News he welcomes the upcoming debate. “The question is, what will be the tone?” he added, urging Republicans to stop describing the bill as “job-killing.”

and today Bone-head Boehner accommodated Clyburn.

Don’t they listen to us, to Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity or Beck? Don’t they watch Fox and read conservative columnists? Haven’t they seen the polls? How can they be so tone-deaf as to buy into this phony blood libel crap the Dems are selling?

It can't pass the Senate, and will be VETOED if it does....HOWEVER...they should start planning IMMEDIATELY to defund every aspect of OBAMACARE on the new Budget.

Expect 24/7 State-Run-Media trundling out the miserable "poor" who NEED OBAMACARE, etc., with starving Seniors, dying babies, etc., etc.

They've already started the "cutting off children from the Benefits of OBAMACARE" routine....

Hey, Repubs...don’t be the morons we fear that you can be. Tone????? Just repeal and disassemble the anti-American nobamacare. Just why do you think people voted for you??? Not to kiss the arse of the DIMs...not to “get along with” the DIMS. Wake up or you are OUT.

Probably President Barack Hussein Obama Jr. can hold his “boot to the throats” of the republicans to get them to not try and repeal the bill..

I immediately contacted my Congressman, Richard Neal. He has not responded. Go figure!

This “tone” issue is a pure fabrication. It has absolutely nothing, even remotely, to do with the tradgedy in Arizona that was a random, insane act by a severaly disturbed person. Yet...the tone and civility issues persist despite any rational basis because Democrats and their pals in the media find it a useful tactic to blunt the Republican agenda, such as it is.
