Rep. Virginia Foxx calls health care "distracting"

By GottaLaff

How many ways can this poor excuse for a human being make herself look like an even bigger fool? It's mind-boggling, the things that pop out of her mouth. This is the same genius who said, "There are no Americans who don't have health care," and that Matthew Shepard's murder was "a hoax."

Now this... keeping in mind that yes, she is an elected official. Enough people voted for her that she ::shudder:: won and took office. As impossible as it seems, she, like Michele Bachmann, represents actual voters:

Yesterday in a “telephone town hall,” Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) not only repeated her opposition to Democratic proposals for health care reform, but characterized all federal government incursions into health care as unconstitutional. In fact, she said that attempting reform was nothing more than a “distraction” from more important issues:

FOXX: The Constitution doesn’t grant a right to health care, and most of us are living as much by the Constitution as we can. It also doesn’t give the federal government the authority to deal with health care. As you may know, the 10th amendment, it says if it isn’t mentioned in the Constitution to be done by the federal government, it’s left to the states or the people. [...]

I think one of the problems we have in this country right now is the fact that the federal government is trying to do too much. We need to leave things to the states and the localities. … And unfortunately, we are distracting ourselves from looking after the defense of this nation because we are dealing with issues that should, by right, be the state and individual’s.

She needs one of these for what comes out of her mouth:
