A Republican, who sits on the House Subcommittee for Higher Education, says that the government shouldn't fund education, and now says she has no tolerance for people who accumulate student loan debt...because she didn't have any debt when she went to college in 1968!

If someone is looking for sympathy for their high student loans, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) would not be among those providing any support.
According to audio obtained by Think Progress, the congresswoman appeared on G. Gordon Libby show Friday afternoon, saying she “never borrowed a dime of money” during her time in college before lashing out at those burdened with heavy loans.
“I have very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt because there’s no reason for that,” Foxx said. “We live in an opportunity society and people are forgetting that.”
Despite her disgust for high student loans, Foxx is somehow content with high mortgage notes. Think Progress reported that Foxx owed two individual notes up to $250,000.

A blogger with a grudge against Republicans in Congress made a fake ad this week spoofing the iPhone app commercials. "If you want to refute scientific research by quoting Biblical prophecy...There's a rep for that," it says. In the accompanying blog post the video's auteur explains his claims and sums it up by saying, "The Republican party today has little interest in developing constructive policy. Its reps would rather spend their energy offering up ridiculous claims to see if they can ride a wave of deceit back into power. Hopefully, they'll just catch a riptide and get pulled further out to sea."

People say stupid things all the time. We all make the occasional slip of the tongue or speak in error. But at the end of the day you should own what you say - for better or worse. Clearly, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-Stupidtown, NC) is too cowardly to own hers.People say stupid things all the time. We all make the occasional slip of the tongue... more
