Fox and Bachmann give women representatives a bad name. and have adopted the fancy Luntz verbiage. Wrap it in a pretty package and the rot will be hidden. Fox says “all people should have health care” but really means those who can afford to pay “private insurers” should have health care. Much like John McCain’s new bill the Internet Freedom Act which will divvy up airwaves to telecoms and limit the amount of FREE access to the rest of us. Like cable, we the public will be ripped off again and dollared to death.

To comment #11: Ok McMetal, I’ll say it to you slowly: preliminary analysis is not the same as final analysis. Got it? (Good)

Point is, TP thought it important not to trust a CBO score of a democratic bill a few months ago because it was a preliminary analysis. But TP does not think it important now to point out CBO’s score of a republican bill was preliminary. That inconsistency in reporting (by TP) is worth pointing out, no matter how bad the GOP is.

It really is that simple and straightforward.

Will the CBO score the GOP any better in its final analysis (if there ever is one)? Who knows. I don’t think so personally but it’s a moot point now that the dems just passed their bill (with 1 GOP vote from the very brave Joe Cao) Saturday night.

This women/man is the uglest person/thing on capital hill. I’m not even sure she/it is a women. Second the people who elected “it” must be nuts too. I realize that they marry their cousins, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles, but this cross breading has got to STOP! She/it looks like a “crackhead” on speed or maybe it has had too much to drink. This creature must be stopped before she does any more damage to mankind.

She/it is the worst person on the planet now that Sadam is dead. This thing makes Sadam seem like a boy scout. It also acts more like Baghdad “Bob” than a US Congressman. She/it tells so many lies, I’m sure it doesn’t know what’s true anymore, if it ever did. It’s a sad shame that it’s mother and father were sister and brother, because you see what cross breading does to the children. Man what a monster this creature turned out to be.

This is a window looking into her soul. Lies runn freely and truth and facts can be made up on a whim. This is NOT the reality I live in. Either she believes I am an idiot and do not know what she believes by her numerous statements, OR SHE is an idiot and does not know any better. Either way, couldnt we do a little better in picking our reps?
Her ignorance or deception can be a dangerous thing for the rest of us.

This may be a fine line distinction but I think the Republicans are playing word games. They want people to have access to health care which is not quite the same as having health insurance. We already have access to health care but it is a question of how much. The second part of the word game that they say nothing about affordable health care which would entail premiums, deductibles and copays that are affordable. The Republicans do not address the affordable issue as well as pre-existing conditions because these are not considered in their plan. They keep talking about tort reform as if it were a large factor in costs when it is not. The Republicans are taking a swipe at trial attorneys who sue doctors and hospitals for negligence. I would note that tort law is the province of the states and not the federal government, unless the tort is created by federal law. This attempt to preempt state tort law is a 10th Amendment issue. For the Republicans, states rights mean nothing to them on this issue. They are hypocrites of the worst kind.

Sorry, that should be “….you really don’t know what you are talking about”. Me and typing don’t seem to be working well together this morning, especially without coffee.

I want to say I believe everybody wants all Americans to have affordable health insurance and good quality health care. I just take that assumption.

Well Foxx, I want to say I believe you are an idiot and I take the assumption that you areally don’t know what you are talking about.. I’m just making a guess, right?

I think everyone could take Congresscritter Foxx at her word; sure, she wants Americans to have quality health insurance. She’s just going to do her damnedest to make sure that there’s no government insurance program, that no tax dollars go to fund insurance. She’s the first one on the bandwagon to pull the plug on Medicare and Medicaid, especially Medicaid. Any program that provides a hand out instead of a trip to bankruptcy for the lower economic classes is just communistic socialism, yanno?

I’m sure she’d also be in favor of reviving ‘poor houses’, as long as they’re operated by private corporations; none of those ‘free ride’ debtors prisons for American bankrupts. Indentured servitude would be good too. Can’t let that low class trailer trash get away without a good whoopin’ ever now and then…

It is laudable to start with the assumption that all parties approach the problem in good faith. HOWEVER, when one side DEMONSTRATES, over and over again, that they are not acting in good faith, when they belittle the problem, when they lie about the solutions on the table, when they fabricate scary provisions in an attempt to dissuade people from fairly considering proposed solutions, when they openly advocate a tactic of preventing a solution in order to gain political advantage, then it is STUPID to include them, STUPID to believe them well-intentioned, and STUPID to empower them in any way.

These people have shown us who they are. The American Public has removed them from power as quickly as our gerrymandered political system permits. We owe them nothing – not even the presumption of benign intentions; they have demonstrated that they have none. We owe the American People much. It is time to reward the public for their trust in us.

Fortunately Ginny won’t have to worry about getting health insurance, thanks to the taxpayers. She’s got hers.

What Americans really need to take note of during this health care reform battle is just how inept and unqualified many of these representatives and senators are. Foxx may have been an English teacher but that does not make her intelligent. I’m assuming she’s good with grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and so forth, but her old, crusted beliefs certainly block her ability to reason. She has said some of the most outrageous things, I just can’t believe any group of people would send her to Washington as their representative.

We don’t need insurance companies to administer America’s health care system. The government can cover everyone and do it ten times better for 1/2 the cost. All we have to do is adopt the Canadian or German health care system.

It’s a no brainer.

Hey Ginnie:

There are things you can replace
And others you cannot
The time has come to weigh those things
This space is gettin’ hot
You know this space is gettin’ hot

All of us want good insurance, just we aren’t gonna give it to you.

-or-

All of us want good insurance althought it will mean the destruction of the world as we know it.

She and her family already have their free medical care for life.

She just can’t get it into her stupid head that most of the rest of us do not serve in Congress, and therefore are net going to benefit from the “socialist medicine”
that she condemns, yet uses eagerly.

Granny Foxx was born in June of 1943, so she is 66 years old.
She may not be taking her social security check because she is still earning good money as a representative, and she can delay that for a while, but she is eligible for Medicare. She has that great government sponsored healthplan available to all members of congress; I suspect they are forced into Medicare at 65, and keep the govt. plan as their supplemental.

She was a teacher in her younger days — how’d you like to have been one of her students?!

I think we should start with the premise that I have felt all along, despite being questioned on this by my colleagues, that all of us want all Americans to have health insurance and access to good health care. Again, despite accusations made against me, I think we would be all better off if we accepted that assumption. We want to go about it in different ways. But I think accusing each other of things that aren’t true isn’t a good way to start out this meeting. And so I want to say I believe everybody wants all Americans to have affordable health insurance and good quality health care. I just take that assumption.

********************************************************

Does Rep. Foxx suffer from dissociative personality disorder, by chance? Or is she simply another politician engaged in an Orwellian effort to convince people that she never actually made certain rash comments which made her appear hysterical and irrational — like, oh, comparing health care reform to terrorism?

This much can be said about Foxx…upbraiding other people for doing the same thing which she herself did less than a week ago (that is, making negative accusations against the other side) take one hell of a lot of nerve, not to mention an incredible amount of arrogance. Clearly, she believes in the principle “do as I say — not as I do” (or even more simply, IOKIYAR).

While we’re on the subject, remind me again — which party was the one which made all sorts of wildly exaggerated claims about health care reform this summer and encouraged disruptive protests at town hall meetings in an attempt to prevent any meaningful debate from taking place, hmmmm? It wasn’t the Democrats…

Does this really sound like a group of people who “want all Americans to have health insurance and access to good health care”?

No, it does not — not to me, at least.
