(Rep. Virginia) Foxx predicts doom with Dems in charge (calls Obama & Clinton socialists)
Source: charlotte observer

Republican also defends attacks on Obama, Clinton


Rep. Virginia Foxx says she believes God will judge people for sins of omission as well as commission, so the Banner Elk Republican had a message she couldn't keep to herself.

"You should fear for your country," Foxx told a gathering of members of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce.

The Democratic majority in Congress has become "bolder and bolder" with tax dollars and the rules of the House, she told the business leaders at their annual Washington meeting.

"I am trying to scare you to death," she said.

...

She also defended comments she made to a local radio program, 3WC radio's "Focus on the Foothills," about Democratic Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois. Foxx said the presidential candidates "basically are socialists, he more than she."

"I believe they are socialists, and if you look at their platforms you will see their plan is to take money from part of the population and give it to other people in the population," she said later, referring to their universal health care plans.

"I don't know the dictionary definition of socialism, but most people would see that as socialism."

20. just look at McCarthy from the 50s - they picked it up from Hitler's "Stabbed in the Back" preaching
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 10:13 AM by NewJeffCT
if you want your answer. They've been doing it for over 50 years.

After WW2, the Republicans took up Hitler's "stabbed in the back" philosophy to great effect. (basically, Hitler preached that Germany would have won WW1 if they hadn't been stabbed in the back by liberals, jews, etc back home)

This is a great article on that philosophy and how it has evolved since Hitler's days:

with the government acting as enforcing cop would be called fascism - what's your point Virginia?

As one of your oft ignored constituents, I have to tell you - we're fielding a very electable candidate this year against you and we only missed un-seating your Bush Rubber Stamping ass by 800 votes last time. Better brush up on your cronyism, you're going to be in the job market come November.

57. Yikes!!!
Why do so many Southerners continue to vote against their own interests? This type of "representative" should have no place in the 21st. century... or even the 20th. I still say much of the South never got over losing the Civil War, and continue to stick it to the rest of the country... just out of spite. Yet they are only hurting themselves. It is a mystery, and has stalled the progress of our nation as a whole.

Her opponent will be either Roy Carter, a former high school coach, or Diane Hamby. Roy Carter is a DFA candidate, and at this point my preference. Our primary is May 5th, and we might get a decent turn-out this time, since our Presidential primary is going to count for once!

It bounces you if you don't enter a zip code within her district and you have to declare yourself a Mr, Mrs, Ms, Doctor, Reverend, etc. I suppose if I were to publically make stupid ass statements like she did, I would want to limit people's access to me...

I did send her the definition of Socialism and Fascism. Doubt that she will recogize that Neoconservatism is a $50 spray paint job on Fascism, but it made me feel a little better, except having to lie about being in her district.

27. a woman who doesn't mind ignoring constituents who are in harms way
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 10:53 AM by libnnc
Seven missionaries from her area were trapped in Cameroon a few weeks ago. A husband of one of the missionaries is a classmate of mine. Foxx ignored pleas from her local constituents who sought help. These folks finally had to make a dash for it on their own. Virginia Foxx's reason for not wanting to help get these people out of Cameroon? One of them was a political rival (in the GOP) of her's in back home in Yadkin County North Carolina. Yep. Virgina Foxx was willing to deny help to these folks (her constituents) because one of them is her rival at home. Sick fucking woman. I've been waiting to tell this story for weeks.

Local missionaries trapped in Africa
Updated: 02/28/2008 05:28 PM
By: News 14 Carolina Web Staff

GREENSBORO -- Two local missionaries are among seven North Carolinians trapped in the African nation of Cameroon after rioting broke out in the country.

The Mount Airy News reports as many as 100 American missionaries are trapped in the country. Dr. Keith Phillips, a Winston-Salem dentist, and John Lane, of Yadkin County, are among them.

Protests in the West African nation over high food and fuel prices have left at least 17 people dead since the unrest began last weekend. A taxi drivers' strike triggered the violence.

The U.S. State Department has told the missionaries not to travel to any major urban areas. <snip>

'I believe they are socialists, and if you look at their platforms you will see their plan is to take money from part of the population and give it to other people in the population," she said later, referring to their universal health care plans.

"I don't know the dictionary definition of socialism, but most people would see that as socialism."'

Most people would see it as common decency. It's a system that Europaean mainstream Conservatives would accept automatically, FFS.

60. Considering that "conservatives" take money from most of the population and give it to a few,

I suppose that would - according to Foxx's logic - make Foxx and the Republican leadership "socialists", also.

65. not "socialists"
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 12:03 AM by Amonester
"big-corp communists" is the "Right" definition (in case you missed my replies up-thread)

"corpo-communists" is shorter, but it sounds like it includes small corporations, so "big-corp communists" is exactly that...

67. Ha! If only they were Socialists, I'd have an easier time voting for either of them!
This idiot is nuts to think either candidate is a socialist though, too damn bad for that.

71. How true, they are both firmly anti-populist and pro-corporate
You got to be pretty dumb to think either of them is even close to a Socialist.

70. Neo-con theology
take money from part of the population and give it to other people in the population

Taking money away from the population to fund war and increase profits... good (Capitalism).
Taking money away from the people to help people who can't help themselves... bad (Socialism).

73. I don't know what's worse . . .
. . . the fact that Jesse Helmsified trash such as this STILL stenches up congressional halls,

. . . her talking about "sosh'lism" as if it's a bad thing, when it's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Canada, Britain and many European nations practice true socialism with success; far more positive, way less costly and further encompassing than the shit sandwich our "free market" gives us,

. . . why the only "socialist" examples Repukes bring up are ones that were shackled in totalitarian regimes, conveniently ignoring the benevolent modern models given above, or

. . . that Repukes are still . . . STILL trying to pull the old RED MENACE card after 2008.

74. Why Me?!?!@#*(&%#^%#&$^@#)@!!!!
What an embarrassment!!!! She's our frigging Rep in Congress unfortunately. It's disgusting that she is our district mouthpiece. My district has suffered for if I remember correctly over 20 years. Last Dem we had in office was Steve Neal followed Richard Burr, now one of my states' Senators, and Foxx. NC 5th District must be cursed, what did we do to deserve this burden? I'm so embarrassed. She's nearly as bad as Jesse Helms.....

77. What this amounts to IS
Virgina Foxx says "I am filthy rich, no one is going to take away my tax cuts! I'm the part of the population to get a free ride!"

She would rather have all of the money funneled up from the bottom the way it is now, to the benefit of the rich.

Nothing more than a very, very selfish RePukelican. :puke:

And Fox she 'aint. :puke:
