The worst-planned presser in political history (Kay Hagan, D-NC)
WWNC News Radio 570 AM ^ | February 25th 2014 | Peter Kaliner

Posted on 02/25/2014 2:58:33 PM PST by Clintonfatigued

I have no idea how Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan's news conference could've been worse except had she lit a baby bunny on fire while stomping on the American flag.

The junior Senator from North Carolina filed for re-election yesterday in Wake County. The media was all there, as her campaign obviusly alerted them to the event. This is pretty standard. It makes for good video to have the pol surrounded by friends, family, and supporters as they sign the paperwork and everyone cheers.

But it seemed to escape Hagan and her camp that after she signs the papers she'd need to actually talk to the media.

About her record.

And that's where the wheels fell off this thing.

... Hagan ... refused on Monday to answer questions about what she knew about the laws limits.

Like President Barack Obama, Hagan said the Affordable Care Act would allow North Carolinians to keep their existing insurance plans if they liked them. The pledge proved false – and earned Obama PolitiFact’s Lie of the Year honors.

But the details about what Hagan knew about the law’s limits and when she learned it remains unclear. Asked about it again Monday at a press conference in Raleigh, after she made her re-election bid official at the State Board of Elections, Hagan avoided the question.

Pressed on the question two more times as reporters followed her outside to the parking lot, Hagan did not answer. She offered this explanation without further details: “it wasn’t clear that insurance companies were selling substandard policies.”

Followed her into the parking lot? This is bad video for the rest of the campaign season.

“I have no idea how Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan’s news conference could’ve been worse except had she lit a baby bunny on fire while stomping on the American flag.”

Best way to begin an editorial I’ve ever read. Great news for November, too.

“...it wasn’t clear that insurance companies were selling substandard policies.”

"The citizens of North Carolina aren't smart enough to take care of themselves."

Wow...

Hopefully that translates into a humiliating defeat.

Then she can pursue a new career path - mayonnaise wrestling.

Follow up one lie with another. This one ticks me off because it's so arrogant and typical of left wing fascist.

You need to post pictures with that statement to see if that is indeed a possibility

The voters should free her to pursue other, more fulfilling interests.

Hagan is a moonbat. Moonbats do not understand how or why they vote for socialism, they just do it.

I wondered where Pete Kaliner wound up after leaving WBT radio in Charlotte. He was one of several conservatives to be booted from that station.

I’m glad he’s in Asheville giving the resident evil libtards grief.

Well, that's because nobody; not you, not me, not even Obama, his sleazy self, ever heard anything... anything at all... about the existence of these things that seemed to emerge like a butterfly from a cow pie, when Obama was called on his "you can keep your policy if you like it" lie and he had to try and think fast, and he spontaneously came up with these supposed "substandard policies" as an explanation for all those policy cancellations. That's what happens when the weasel tries to go off teleprompter.

He'd never used the phrase before, never even hinted that such things existed, he said you could keep your insurance plan PERIOD.

There's no way you would have known anything more about it when he made it up on the fly. That doesn't absolve you for your personal responsibility for promoting this fraud on the American people, and I think you'll soon come face to face with that fact.

If she had, you wouldn't have seen a word of it in the MSM. Not that I'm accusing them of bias, or being lying, fascist anti-freedom b@$t@rds, or anything.

The policies WEREN’T SUBSTANDARD! Only in Socialist Obamaland do people who are in their twilight years have to pay for extra insurance to cover pediatric dental and maternity care. Geez, if we had an INDEPENDENT PRESS, these pukes wouldn’t be able to get away with all their lies!
