Bachmann: Children’s health insurance a “magnet” for “illegal aliens”

Only a wack-job like Bachmann could be against health care for children. And she wouldn’t recognize the Constitution if it showed up at her front door.

Compare and contrast; one of my high school english teachers drilled that into my head.
Compare and contrast: Slave rights and gay rights; the contrasts are easy, the comparisons are profound. Slaves could not get legally married either. They could not create and sign contracts, and what is marriage mostly (legally speaking) but a huge contract with thousands of rights and responsibilities.
Navanethem Pillay, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights spoke there last year saying, “That just like apartheid laws that criminalized sexual relations between different races, laws against homosexuality are increasingly becoming recognized as anachronistic and inconsistent both with international law and with traditional values of dignity, inclusion, and respect for all.”
Apartheid: A system of laws applied to one category of citizens in order to isolate them and keep them from having privileges and opportunities given to all others.
Stop gay apartheid.

It’s sad to hear a congressional representative sound so completely divorced from reality, regardless of which part of the political spectrum she is from. Representative Bachmann is a wildly active volcano of misinformation and bad policy ideas. She keeps erupting on tv, but i suspect it’s because she says so many zany, if unreal, things, not because she has something useful to offer. Rather like the freak show part of a circus. Entertaining maybe, sad surely.

Bachmann is a colossal embarassment to Minnesota, like the overweight lady who stood up at a McCain rally in Lakeville last fall and declared Obama to be an “arab terrorist” (which, unfortunately, made the national news). This woman is a waste of protoplasm.

If you liked Joe McCarthy, you’ll love Michelle Bachmann. This woman is in a position of leadership saying these profoundly ignorant things because she was elected, and then re-elected to the position. In a democracy, ignorance gets a voice as well. She doesn’t embarrass me, I didn’t vote for her. When she has sufficiently embarrassed her supporters, and that will take a lot, they will finally get rid of her. Moderates were driven from the Republican Party 30 years ago but they will soon be making a slow comeback. Bachmann will eventually self destruct.

While I’m not fan of Bachman’s as a taxpayer I am sick to death of paying for social services for illegals. I’m sure they will scam this program somehow and once again receive benefits that they are NOT entitled to.

On the French Revolution: “I know these Minnesota accents are a little tough to get through, but I also want to mention, just for point of reference, I am a federal tax attorney. That’s my background. That’s what I do. Taxes are us.

No, Michele, that’s not what you do at all. In fact, you aren’t even authorized to practice law in Minnesota, Michele. Remember?

In fact, you haven’t practiced law in at least 16 years. So why did you dredge that lie up again–to impress your fellow members of Congress? I don’t think that worked out very well, since it appears you were bloviating to a chamber full of empty seats, as usual. I also want to mention, as a point of reference, that it would be more accurate to describe yourself as a former tax collection lawyer for the IRS. Because that’s what you did–prosecuted taxpayers in federal Tax Court for the IRS. Saying you’re a “tax litigation attorney” somehow makes it sound like you’re attorney working on behalf of taxpayers. Not hardly.

Is it possible for Michele Bachmann to tell the truth about anything at all?

Who would vote for the woman? She certainly shows the reason Jesus was so opposed to religeous estabishment!!! The illegal issue on insurance is total crap and totally over exagerated!!! Kids are kids and they should have healthcare; its the right thing to do and is being Christian!!! If you talk the talk; walk the walk lady.

Only one comment worth making on her nonsense. She says:

“I know one thing: The people in my district are not interested in paying for the health care for illegal aliens that are coming across our border to be yet one more magnet to bring people in that should come here legally.”

Now, Minnesota’s international border is with Canada. Being a northern Minnesotan currently living in Canada, I can’t imagine what Canadian would give up our universal health care system for any system in the States right now. (e.g., in 2007, my husband was in hospital for 5 months — including 3 weeks in ICU. it cost me about $80 total, which was for parking. i never even got a bill. that’s with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan — OHIP — which everyone, immigrant or citizen, is enrolled in.)

So Michele says that children’s health care is an illegal alien magnet.

A magnet can attract AND repel.

Let’s let a whole bunch of poor Minnesota kids die for lack of simple healthcare. That will repel all the illegal aliens.

Why hasn’t Lou Dobbs thought of this?

The Bill,SCHIP, does in FACT provide undue excess Health Care Costs to illegal aliens up to 21 years old, wheather they are married or not, and wheather they live at home with the parenst or not!

THOSE IILEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT “CHILDREN”. And the adverage taxpayer is footing the bill at a high cost.

Andy,

“Outspoken”? Let’s describe this woman and her supporters correctly: idiotic, provincial, fear-laden, xenophobic, moronic. MLK was “outspoken”; Michelle B is just fear and idiocy in drag; Nancy Reagan and George Bush’s (either one!) love child.

I wonder which would be more embarrassing; being Norm Coleman or living in Minnesoda?

Liberalism is a mental disorder. It is both oppressive and regressive, not progressive. It cheats, discriminates, extorts, gauges, kills, lies, rapes, and steals for profit. Those are the results!

Also, republicans earn flack only when being liberal. Members of
both liberalism and RINOism can shove it up their butts!

Are you liberals all retarded? So where are we going to get the money to pay for this “free health care”? Obama has already tripled the NATIONAL debt that Bush took 8 years to accumulate. We are already borrowing $0.50 on the dollar. I know you people think that we have an unlimited supply of money and that we should all just pay for everyone to sit at home while the government takes more and more from the people who are trying to make something with their lives. All I ask is just a little common sense from you liberals. I already know that logic is not an option.

Out here in CA, we’ve run out of money. Base on the comments here, it looks like MN still has money to spend on health care for all regardless whether you’re legal or not or children of legal or not. Thank God you aren’t broke like we are out here.

if you think there is an influx of illegal aliens now, wait till this health plan passes, which obama said he will not exclude illegal children. every mom in south america with a child with health problem will come in droves from south america and mexico. because if you give them health care they will be taken care of medicallly for the rest of their lives. you dont know these people. they are very persistant and exploit and do whatever it takes. obama want to first ensure their health care and then he will go tooth and nail with amnesty! wake up america we have to put an end to automatic citizenship which is the beginning of all woes. and then we have to start deportations. obama is so wrong in this!
