27 Democratic senators who promised you could keep your health coverage
Washington Examiner ^ | NOVEMBER 15, 2013 | BYRON YORK

President Obama has taken a lot of heat for promising that if Americans liked the health coverage that they had before Obamacare, they would be able to keep it under the new law. But the president wasn't the only Democrat in Washington who made that false promise. Many, many other Democratic officeholders said the same thing.

Too bad so many of our citizens fall for Democrat lies.

You don't really believe that do you? They don't "fall" for Democrat lies; they KNOW they're lying. But, most Americans don't give a crap as long as their Liberal causes are protected (like killing little babies and same-sex marriage) and they don't lose their "entitlements". They just don't give a crap if Democrat politicians lie.

Here is the email I just sent to Patty bin Laden Murray of the Socialist Republics of Washington State:

“We heard promises that the Obamacare policies would not force people off their plans.

We were promised that premiums would be reduced by $2,500 each year.

Both of these promises have proved false.

My wife and I and all of our friends are appalled by how poorly this bill is turning out. Millions are losing their chosen programs and costs for many are increasing.

Will you apologize for making false promises and work for new legislation that might actually reform health care?”

SEN. PATTY MURRAY (D-Wash.): “Again, if you like what you have, you will be able to keep it. Let me say this again: If you like what you have, when our legislation is passed and signed by the President, you will be able to keep it.” (Sen. Murray, Congressional Record, S.6400, 6/10/09)

I suspect this is a lot like putting a pig into a pen, without the mud...

Which equates to how the republicans will deal with this...Nothing will stick to these liars...Nor the pig farmers...

Thanks for that list. I’d be so happy to see even the most secure Dem’s in those upcoming three cycles LOSE. I know it is a dream but hope springs eternal or something like that. Wake Up America!

UPLIFTING THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: "You, too, can singlehandedly collapse liberalism."

==========================================

SELECTED DEMOCRAT QUOTES:
FROM THE UNEXPURGATED PAGES OF THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
:

<><> Nancy Pelosi (Dimwit-Calif) famously egged-on Congress to pass Obamacare "so we could see what’s in it.”

<><> Sen Mary Landrieu (Dimwit-LA) in the well of the Senate speaking to voters about their "sub-standard" health plans: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."

<><> Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Dimwit-Calif): “I listened to the president and I believed him when he said,' if you liked your plan, you can keep your plan.' I didn’t realize there were all these codicils attached to it."

<><> Pres Barack Obama (Dimwit-Ill): "we fumbled" the healthcare roll out." (Nominated for Understatement of The Century).

=============================================

NOTE WELL VOTERS: Throwing people off their insurance plans IS NOT A GLITCH--NOT A MISTAKE--NOT AN ERROR---cancelling existing plans is a FEATURE of Boobamba/Care.

===============================================

MOMENTS TO REMEMBER “Democrats can sign onto "keep it" bills, but the message isn’t as important as what people are actually (experiencing and) seeing, the facts on the ground (wholesale cancellations),” said a Democratic strategist. “Individual Democratic candidates can try to differentiate themselves, but past election results show that doesn’t work.”

============================================

REMINDER Three years ago, every Democrat voted AGAINST Wyoming Republican Mike Enzi's bill to protect policyholders from the ruinous effects of Obamacare-mandated cancellations, that we are seeing now.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HASTEN THE COLLAPSE OF LIBERALISM? ........get a summary of Republican Mike Enzi's pro- policyholder amendment, with a list of EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT who voted against protecting policyholders. Use the career-ending info in upcoming elections....in letters to the editor, ads, fliers, etc.

Landrieu, Pryor, Hagan and Begich are all in serious trouble.
The seats occupied by Baucus and Tim Johnson should flip. I want to see Franken, Merkley, Udall CO, Udall NM, Shaheen, and Warner have to fight for their lives.
