While certain Democrats remain undaunted in their insistence that the whole lot of ‘em are totally, absolutely, unequivocally going to be running on ObamaCare in 2014 and using it “as an advantage,” other Democrats are clearly feeling a little more… well, daunted.
When Sen. Landrieu learned that individuals who liked their health insurance could no longer keep it, despite the President’s promise, she wrote legislation to insure that the promise was kept. As a result, the President issued guidance allowing states and insurance companies to renew individual health plans for another year.
Dang. This is Landrieu’s first ad for the 2014 cycle, and she’s distancing herself from ObamaCare right out of the gate. I suppose there’s no point even pretending that there are other issues that will dominate over this one, particularly not in her state (Louisiana went for Romney by a whopping 17-point margin), so she might as well tackle it head-on. She certainly didn’t lead the charge to pass some kind of keep-your-plan legislation just for kicks, after all.
Add this to a list of Landrieu hypocrisies:
“Senate Democrats voted unanimously three years ago to support the Obamacare rule that is largely responsible for some of the health insurance cancellation letters that are going out. In September 2010, Senate Republicans brought a resolution to the floor to block implementation of the grandfather rule, warning that it would result in canceled policies and violate President Barack Obama’s promise that people could keep their insurance if they liked it. On a party line vote, Democrats killed the resolution, which could come back to haunt vulnerable Democrats up for re-election this year. Senate Democrats like Mary Landrieu, Jeanne Shaheen, Mark Pryor, Kay Hagan and Mark Begich – all of whom voted against stopping the rule from going into effect and have since supported delaying parts of Obamacare.”
She's going to try and kick up a bunch of dust, every Rat trick in the book, but I really think she's done for.
Right, Miz Landrieu.
You told him he said we could keep it, but Louisiana shouldn’t keep you who is yet another Democrat hag!
All these years and you’ve not lost your baby fat yet.
there is so much bad news come for the denomcrats
it is not going to matter what they say.
btw- who would believe anything they say anyway?
A surprisingly large number. City dwellers and the welfare class.
The only reason the DEMs are in any trouble is that the loot they promised from the public treasurey is not forthcoming. There are tens of millions of people in the US who favor big government over liberty. They fancy themselves to be big-hearted do-gooders.
I wish. We have too many.
God please help save us from people like her.
