On the FOX News coverage of this debate they blocked out Anthony Weiners voice and only played what Peter King was saying.

I know this may be hard to comprehend, but big corporations employ a lot of people.
Therefore taking money from them means they can employ less people.
Hence, it will cost jobs.
Democrats on the other hand think they know how to create jobs better than the private sector, therefore they claim that taking money from major corporations and spending it on "green jobs" or whatever other government program strikes their fancy will "create jobs".
Of course, this is utterly ridiculous since to create jobs they must first destroy jobs by taking from the productive private sector of the economy.

These people need all the proper healthcare that they need.
I am appauled that the republicans said no to this.
There is absolutely no reason at all
Like I said earlier, these republicans better get their heads out of their asses real fast.
This does not look good on them, at all.

You may not have noticed, but the "progressives", or as you know them, marxists, have spent us into a state of immenent collapse.
You got it all wrong, that would be BUSH and the GOP that spent us into near collapse. Remember: Clinton (surplus) - Bush (record deficits).
TARP, to the tune of a 700 billion bailout to the greedy bankers that started the financial collapse? That was Bush, too.
Sorry, but it was the GOP under Bush that drove this country into financial ruin, and left us with two unfounded wars.

Fox News has a hard time showing videos without editing them, truncating them, or simply taking them out of context. Their propaganda tactics, not responsible journalism.

yes...there is a reason...the republicans don't care about the middle class or the poor class...how many times do you have to here it from there own words...they only care about the rich and wealthy
they are very clear on this...and yet people are still asking the same dumb question over and over, "why are they doing this?"...IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ORDINARY PEOPLE!!!!!
what is wrong with people, they make stuff up about liberals and Obama...but, you won't even believe what comes out of republicans mouths! they don't care about you! only the wealthy and powerful!

And it might be, no it is, a moot point anyway in today's economy when our top 500 corporations are holding onto a record $877 billion (low estimate) to $1.8 trillion (high estimate)
The drop in support comes from many of the same bankers, hedge fund executives and financial services chief executives who are most upset about the financial regulatory reform bill that House Democrats passed last week with almost no Republican support. The Senate expects to take up the measure this month.

I wish he was my Congressman, he would get my vote for sure. He is standing up for the people in his District and all 9/11 Rescue workers who are dying from the materials in their lungs. The Republicans don't want them to receive guaranteed Healthcare because they say it will hurt jobs.
These people risked their lives to save thousands of innocent Americans from a terrorist attack or a government massacre on its' own citizens and the Republicans said JUST DIE!!

When I wrote my Congressman(R-John Mica, FL-7) about supporting the Public Option he wrote me back and told me I was wrong and I should look more into it!
That is no business of a Congressman to tell their constituents whether they are right or wrong, they should listen to their constituents concerns and vote accordingly.
MICA IS A SLIMEBALL.
