      A rare moment of truth from "Faux!" After this how can they promote the misplaced outrage of the "tea baggers?" How can the MSM continue to blackout the voices of the "poor" from "our" airwaves and the debate about this nations economic and political future?

      Wow. She has quite a personal story to tell. It was compassionate and reasoned, unlike that blubbering idiot Eric Bolling.

      Give this woman her own show!

      She said welfare programs should never be cut out and noted how empathetic she was due to her experiences growing up. Aren't those firing offense at Fox. It was great knowing you Regina, maybe you will surface at CNN or MSNBC!!

      Regina will not be long for "Fixed News" with comments like that.

      Regina is right on. Children - who make up most welfare recipients - rely on government assistance to eat, have somewhere to sleep... you know, basic necessities. Whatever their parent's situations, they didn't choose that and they can't change it. Even if the state or national governments cut welfare to save themselves, how would that really make a difference? It's only about 1-2% of their budgets. Why can't they fix the other 98%?? If they cut off welfare, and they still have NO MONEY, what then?
      This is one of the most insane things I have ever heard. It would do so much more harm than good.

      Eric Bolling looks like an absolute MORON after Calcaterra speaks. I can't believe Bolling (who was sitting right next to her) doesn't have the DECENCY to hide under the table after that. What a heel.

        Skip, if you actually expect Decency from a Foxvoice, send me your email address. For you, and you alone, I can get a once-in-a-lifetime low price for a beautiful bridge linking Brooklyn and Manhattan.
