Battle Of The Wingnut Stars

So as I peruse Think Progress today, I ask you, the erstwhile reader, which GOP Congresswoman is the least in touch with the reality of health care, North Carolina's Virginia Foxx...

"There are no Americans who don’t have healthcare. Everybody in this country has access to healthcare,” she says. “We do have about 7.5 million Americans who want to purchase health insurance who can not afford it,” she says, urging Congress to adopt a new plan for healthcare reform that wouldn’t “destroy what is good about healthcare in this country” and “give the government control of our lives.”

...or our returning champion, Minnesota's Michele Bachmann?

"This is radicalization of America like we have never seen before in the history of our country. But don’t lose heart. Because the polling data is showing — Rasmussen for instance — polling data is showing that President Obama’s numbers are dropping like a rock. As a matter of fact, his polling data now says that President Obama is a mere mortal. (Laughter) And so we can take heart. That is absolutely true."

One denies there's a problem with Americans accessing health care at all, the other wants to see to legislation that would give Americans more health care choices fail just to see the President harmed. Both go on to rail against government control over our lives, but both want the government to deny women abortions. Both are massively misinformed people spreading that misinformation in their capacity as people elected to represent hundreds of thousands of Americans in Congress...there's a cheery thought.

If you ask me, there's no winner here...we all in fact lose.
