As for his posistion on illegal access to health care? He knows it is not being denied to them now anyway, and if the amnesty comes down he can vote for that too.

Your original post was incorrect - and I proved it. “Healthcare reform” has everything to do with Obama - and most Americans don’t want it. Obama and his ilk are destroying our country, and “healthcare reform” is just one measure they are using to complete their mission.

There are only 12 million people who want insurance that do not have it. The 47 million figure cited by the Dems is a lie. So we are going to destroy our healthcare system and have socialized medicine for 12 million people?

For all of you people out there who want socialized medicine - you go ahead and pay for it - but don’t use my tax money to pay for it and don’t destroy the healthcare system in the process. I pay for my health insurance - and my premiums increase every year to pay for those who do not have it and use the emergency room as their doctor’s office.

By the way, I didn’t need to do a Google search to come up with the latest poll results on how Americans feel about “healthcare reform.”

Sooooooooooo - you must be a libtard who expects those who have to pay for those who have not ….. once again. Everyone knows that no one can be denied medical care…. or are you a have not, who EXPECTS to be paid for….? That would be my guess.

Please read posts a bit more carefully before doing your Google search (and STOP thinking everthing is about Obama).

You are wrong. More people HAVE health care than NOT. But, let’s change the entire system for those few…….right….makes a whole hell of a lot of sense….and put our country even MORE in debt than it already is……

Look at the ones working for Verizon,digging up all the yards to put FIOS lines in,they don’t know how to dig and save the rest of the yard.

Any of you seeing them digging needs to get out and talk to them! Almost all can’t speak English and don’t understand English.

We are losing jobs everyday to cheap labor.

It needs to stop.

Most DO NOT SUPPORT healthcare reform, you are sorely mistaken! Additionally, McDonnell has stated that Virginia will OPT OUT of the Dems healthcare plan…

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. Most (52%) remain opposed.

Only 25% Strongly Support the plan while 42% are Strongly Opposed.

For Gerry Connolly, the Fairfax County board chairman, denouncing illegal immigration hawks to the south was a safe prospect in the heavily Democratic suburb. But since rising to Congress, in an 11th District that dips into the more conservative Prince William County , the freshman Democrat has toughened his rhetoric on the subject.

Connolly has staked out a position as a proponent of health care reform whose support falls short of allowing illegal immigrants access to expanded government programs. He told the Hill newspaper, “I have to be able to reassure my constituents that those who are here illegally cannot avail themselves of the provisions provided in this health care bill.”

The stance puts Connolly at odds with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the most liberal wing of his own party. But taking a more permissive tack would present more difficulties among a constituency that has elected some of Virginia ’s most bellicose anti-illegal-immigrant leaders in recent years, including Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart. Connolly and Stewart frequently sniped at each other as board chairmen over the other county’s illegal-immigration policies.

Tuesday’s election signaled that the 11th District, once thought to be shifting blue, is still heavily disputed territory. While the district broke for Barack Obama over John McCain 57 to 42 percent in last year’s presidential election, it swung back in this year’s governor’s race to support Republican Bob McDonnell over Democrat Creigh Deeds by 11 points.

Connolly is one of several freshman Democratic congressmen in Virginia with the GOP’s target sign on their backs for the 2010 midterm elections, and his vote on the massive health care bill in front of Congress will be closely watched.

His stance — that those in the country illegally shouldn’t have access to national health programs — is “consistent with the way most folks I talk to feel about the issue,” said Prince William County Supervisor Marty Nohe, a Republican who represents the Coles District .

“And that’s both individuals who have taken a very tough anti-illegal immigration position, and those who have taken a more open position to how immigration should be handled,” Nohe said.
