"...........“I’ve had a situation in my family — a child — who had serious physical problems, who could not have qualified but for group health insurance available to me as a member of Congress,” Durbin said in response to a pointed question to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
“If I had gone on the open market to buy a policy I’m not sure I could have bought one for my family to cover my child,” said Durbin, who was first elected to Congress in 1982 when his Christine was fourteen.
In fact, Durbin wasn’t sure about buying a policy on the open market because he never had to, having been a state employee from 1969 to 1982 and a federal employee from 1982 to now. His daughter, Christine, who was born in 1968, never went without the cushy government benefits offered to government workers and their families......."

Durbin: Negotiating would only embolden conservatives Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), appearing on MSNBC’s “Daily Rundown,” suggested that Democrats aren’t negotiating with Republicans out of principle — and out of worry that any capitulation would only embolden the cast-iron conservative wing of the party.............."
Behold gutter RATs.
Just say “Illinois” and you can be assured you are speaking Corruption and Lies.
“gave false facts...”
Isn’t that a bit like lying?
Dick Turban- Stealing from the people since 1969
Turbin is a lifelong government leach living the cushy life at the expense of the American taxpayer, exempting himself and the rest of his cronies from the government mandated programs that are destroying the American people.
Hypocrite Democrat scum. One and all.
I thought he wouldn’t have kids being pro abortion. He is nothing but a hypocrit dirtbag.
The pattern continues. Liberals tell whoppers, no one immediately knows and then it becomes the meme (think Matthew Sheppard). Upon further digging, it’s revealed that they have patently and grossly lied.
Remember the whopper told by feminists how women suffered X-more abuse during Superbowl games than at any other time during the year?
These guys lie as a matter of function. With Liberals the ends always justifies the means — always.
Another lying Democrat heard from, making up stories about his family “shtrugglin’” (MO’s word) when they’ve always lived off the really suffering taxpayers of this country. Shameless.
Cruz still beat him like a rented mule.
Pray America is Waking Up
Lets just say what they are. . .lies.
Democrats think the ends justify the means... it’s why we know them as thugs...
Of course Durby knew that wasn't true, but it doesn't matter. Like all leftists a lie is OK if it's in an effort to achieve a desired result.
Sad you believe that two very honest and decent people will decide to begin lying in the future.
Seriously, that is just sad.
I have more faith in a decent person who begins by telling the truth, and will continue to do so.
