Virginia Foxx Compares Health Reform To Terrorist Attacks!

Rep. Virginia Foxx made some bizarre comments on the House floor regarding health reform. She said:

"Everywhere I go in my district, people tell me they are frightened... I share that fear, and I believe they should be fearful. And I believe the greatest fear that we all should have to our freedom comes from this room -- this very room -- and what may happen later this week in terms of a tax increase bill masquerading as a health care bill. I believe we have more to fear from the potential of that bill passing than we do from any terrorist right now in any country."

When asked to comment, House Minority Leader John Boehner defended those comments!

This person is a disgrace to the US Congress. What kind of people would send such a joke to represent them in Washington?

[evrmore0mine]

Thank you Virginia Foxx...I appreciate your down to earth decency and good common sense ..

[SOLINT]

You are a hypocrite, madam. You are a disgrace to our political system. Refuse your congressional health benefits, then you'll have some reason to talk.

She needs nothing short of jail or a rubber room.

[InsightSurff]

Probably because her diction is so simplistic that a 5 year old could understand her. And to poebilly76, please enlighten me. How are our freedoms getting taking away? You're surely talking about the USA PATRIOT Act right?

[GodlyOneOK]

I do not live in your district, or state, but I can assure you that I wish we had a good plain speaking congress woman like Miss Foxx here.

[poebilly76]

Why do you talking about Fox News?!?

[phillipmarch22]

If Fox News was news, we would stop bashing it! I don't care if they call it a "Government Run Program" or "Yankee Doodle Dandy", I would trust that program over the private health insurance industry any day of the week. And for those who say they like their PHI, I guarantee you that you have not had to submit a major claim, cause only then do you find out what is covered. Doesn't matter if you read your policy or not!

GOP Health Care Plan: Take 2 tax breaks and call me in the morning!

[poebilly76]

Maybe you liberals should get off on Fox News bashing & pay attention to the issues! I am sure I did not mention Fox News in my post at ALL. Keep telling yourself this is not a government run program, maybe if you say it enough you start believing it, or maybe you are just to drunk to realize it!!

Yesterday I had a party and watched the House debate the healthcare reform bill.

We had a drinking contest where we all took a shot of tequlia everytime a Republican said, "Government Takeover!"

Johnny died!

(Get off Fox News and read HR 3692!) There is NO "takeover" going on here!)
