Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) warned on the House floor today that the country has more to fear from health care reform than from terrorism. Here's the quote and the clip.
"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."

I just love my choice to have health insurance or not to have health insurance. My life is what I make of it. There has been times I have gone with out. But there has never been a time when I did not have health insurance, that I was not seen by a doctor when I needed one. The doctor understood my financial situation and we always worked out a deal. So, it's not like there is not already a system that can work for us. Obama, leave health care alone please. I don't want to be a communist nation.

Notice the Liberal Bloggers are back in force today? (maybe a little sting from yesterdays election) They spend more time on Fox then most of us. And it's because they can not stand any opinion that differs from theirs...Libs are tollerant only to the point where you disagree or say something unkind about dear leader or his policies. These are a real bunch of angry people, Remember Obama's "clinging to guns and religion" line? It's the same with these libs. Rearrange the deck chairs, cling to the company line no matter what. You don't have to be factual, just yell loud and stomp your feet. And show your true hattred of anything conservative...NO debate, just yelling...My favorite today is George, he tells us to "move" if we don't like whats happening..I am not moving, nor giving up my principals to someone like George or his dear leader. George I remember Alec Baldwin say he would leave the county if George Bush were elected..is'nt that him on 30 Rock? didn't leave did he?. It was all liberal show, like this administration. No George I am not moving, Nor am I going to accept things like Obamacare, or cap and trade,or any other foolishness that Nancy, Harry and the rest of these boneheads dream up. Your party is going in so many directions at once they can not function on any level. Scream on George..you only make yourself look foolish.

I'm pretty sure fox is scared of black people. Why else would they attack the president of the united states of america?? I would bet money things would be different if McCain was elected!!! (but thank the heavens he was not)

I'm pretty sure liberals are afraid of white people. Why else would they have attacked the then POTUS, George W. Bush?? Duh...your "logic" is faulty.
You seem to be clueless. It is just the opposite. Fox is the only news outlet NOT affraid to speak the truth about Obama.

Wow, you are really into the racist comments, aren't you, FoxNews has a contributor named Juan Williams and O'reilly used to invite Al Sharpton to the Factor. Get the point, guess not!

Virginia Foxx is right.
For me, it's not the money that government run health care will cost that bothers me.

It's the freedom that it will cost.

One Buckeye.. Because I may have disagreed with President Bush and his policies but I still respect the Office and our elected Officials. Unlike the People on this board. and I do recall many many Republicans saying "If you don't like it..get out" when Bush was in Office.
SW
HC is and will be the biggest mistake ever for All Americand. Why don't they try to fix the areas that need to be and stay out of the rest? It's called a Takeover. I t's hard to respect someone who wants to destroy our country.
Does not sound like a solid justification to me....
George, you said:
We the People Elected Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States.. and if you dont like it.. MOVE.
We the People are passing Healthcare and if You don't like it.. MOVE.

So George, unless you are less than one year old, why did you not move when Bush was president?

The Righties Defend a Stupid war thats Costing $1 Trillion Dollars
but don't want to have healtcare for all Americans for the same price.
If I could pick for 1 trillion.. Hmmmm.. What would I spend it on
1 - Senseless Stupid War in Iraq or
2 - Healthcare for all Americans
First, total take over of healthcare is just stupid. Please name one government entitlement that ever worked without going approximately 7 times over budget.
-
Healthcare can be fixed without a takeover. If I had control of the trillion you mention, most of it would go back to payoff national debt, not create more debt. Healthcare can, and should be fixed, but with rules, not muti-trillion dollar takeovers!
kyPUMA
well, if you were SMART, you'd spend it on OUR TROOPS since they are actually fighting the war RIGHT NOW.
then , you would see how you could CUT COSTS of healthcare without revamping the whole entire system.
however, you seem to be in the camp of "blame it on bush" still... and before you call me names, i WAS a democrat until May '08...i think independantly now.
George, you don't know me, so what gives you the right to assume I support the war?
Just amazing! The lefties defend Obama and his Chicago thugs stealing American blind and fail to notice they are also stealing their money also! They are so indoctrinated by the ideology of the extreme left they are blinded and unable to see the future that awaits them. The habitually poor continue to habitually support the people making them poor and will remain poor forever!
-
Or if you will, the definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome!
Yes, the Pelosi healthcare bill will hit the economy and human life harder than a terrorist attack!

George if anyone should leave I would say Obama because he obviousely hates America and what America stands for.
I did Not vote for him but when he was elected I gave him the benefit of the doubt...I was wrong.
HealthCare as this administration wants to pass encompasses more than HC
it's One Corrupt piece of Trash.

When the public option puts private insurers out of business, we will have no option. Government will control medical care and costs. We will be at their mercy. When we are sick or hurt and accept government medical care, we will "owe" them (they'll decide how much). To recoup costs for our care, they will come after everything we have, including our homes. It's part of the overall plan to destroy private property rights and redistribute the wealth.

@KNR,
What an asinine statement! What has NC got to do with it???, of course your comment would not be racist or would it???
KNR
she's an RN from NC ... she probably checks her purse every time the President gets up to leave a room she's in.
