Rep. Virginia Foxx says health reform is scarier than terrorism

[proud2BlibKansan]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican congresswoman said Monday that people have more to fear from Democratic health care legislation than from terrorists.

Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina made the comments in a speech on the House floor Monday.

“I believe that 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,” she said. “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.”

The Democratic-controlled House is expected to vote later this week on the sweeping health care overhaul legislation that would extend coverage to millions of the uninsured. Foxx said it was scary because it would raise taxes, increase the power of federal bureaucrats and force people to buy government-mandated coverage — among other things.

1. She says this because it will sell to her constituents

We lost America when we gave up the Fairness Doctrine.

Enough years of pure crap over the airwaves without anyone calling bullshit and now we're just too stupid to save ourselves.

We will not rise from this.

We are finished.

11. Not all the people in our district like her - it's amazing to me that she

can get re-elected when I talk to people in my area.

Dear Virginia - Republicans of any sort scare me more than any non-domestic terrorist out there. You more than most simply because of the position you occupy and your stupidity combined with your undying loyalty to party above country
