Yesterday, The Charlotte Observer wrote a scathing editorial criticizing Kay Hagan (D-NC) for dodging reporters questions on her promise that if you like your insurance plan, you can keep it. The editorial identified that Hagan’s “biggest flaw” is the fact that she can’t take a stance and give answers to difficult questions.

It wasn’t “Kay and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day,” but for what should have been her moment to shine in the spotlight, it was pretty close.

U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan filed for reelection in Raleigh on Monday and had the television cameras to herself. But instead of delivering a forceful launch,
she demonstrated why so many N.C. voters are lukewarm about her. She’s cautious, parses every word, and frequently avoids taking a definitive stand on
an issue until the political ramifications are clear – if even then.

…

Hagan, like Obama, promised voters that if they liked their health insurance plan, they could keep it. PolitiFact dubbed that the Lie of the Year. It was not surprising, then, that reporters asked her on Monday about health care reform.

Incredibly, Hagan was not prepared to answer. Asked several times when she learned that not everyone would be allowed to keep their plan, Hagan avoided answering. Finally, she said, “It wasn’t clear that insurance companies were selling substandard policies.” The (Raleigh) News & Observer reported that Blue Cross Blue Shield responded that Hagan’s comments “are simply not true and she should know better.”

If you missed Monday’s chaotic press conference, check out the videos below of Hagan literally fleeing reporters’ questions on ObamaCare:

Campaigning in Kentucky today, Bill Clinton made light of now deposed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych for trying to “privatize” Ukraine’s presidential residence, adding, “Can you imagine what somebody would do if the President, or any president, tried to say I think I’ll privatize the White House and keep the paintings if it’s all the same to you?” [Read more…]

AFP Ad

In a recent ad against Gary Peters, a leukemia patient talks about how ObamaCare caused her health insurance plan to be canceled.

In the ad, Julie Boonstra talks about her predicament:

“I was doing fairly well fighting the cancer, fighting the leukemia, and then I received the letter: My insurance was canceled because of ObamaCare. Now the out-of-pocket costs are so high it’s unaffordable. If I do not receive my medication, I will die.”

Peters response to the ad has been to accuse Julie of lying and threatening the TV stations airing the ad:

“For her courage in speaking out she is being vilified by those who argue she is simply not telling the truth. Peters, citing a so-called “fact checking” by the Washington Post, is trying to shut her up by having his lawyers send letters to television stations around the state telling them to demand more proof of what she says or pull the ad.”

Boonstra has said she is appalled that Peters would come out and attack her:

“‘I’m appalled. I’m appalled as a mom, as a woman, and as a cancer patient, as someone living with cancer … who has stood before this nation to say, ‘I cannot afford that out of pocket expense,’ said Boonstra, who said she was given a 20 percent chance of surviving her disease. ‘As a Michigan resident, to silence my voice, I’m absolutely appalled.’”

Lately, the left isn’t taking so kindly to Hillary’s silence on a number of issues ranging from Iran’s nuclear deal to the Keystone XL Pipeline. In December 2013, MoveOn.org launched a petition to motivate Hillary to weigh in on Iran’s nuclear deal. Now, the left-leaning grassroots group is asking where Hillary stands on the Keystone XL Pipeline. Yesterday, Robert Naiman wrote in the Huffington Post about MoveOn.org’s petition asking where’s Hillary on the Keystone XL pipeline? According to MoveOn:

We have a key strategic opportunity now to turn this around. Because it is widely assumed that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee for President in 2016, if she comes out against approval of the Keystone XL pipeline now, it will galvanize opposition to the pipeline among Democrats, and make it much less likely that President Obama will approve it.

So far, the petition has over 16,000 Democrat signatures.

Hillary was Secretary of State for 4 years and managed to duck the issue at every turn, despite three studies conducted by The State Department, including one during her tenure, that concluded the pipeline poses little environmental risk.  In 2011, The State Department admitted that “the proposed project would not likely affect the overall quality or quantity of crude oil refined in the gulf coast region, and, as a result, would not likely effect refinery emissions.” In 2013, the Department said that “approval or denial of the proposed project is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the rate of development in the oil sands, or on the amount of heavy crude oil refined in the gulf coast area.” And earlier this year, The Department’s Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement For The Keystone XL Project concluded the pipeline “is unlikely to significantly impact the rate of extraction in the oil sands” and if Keystone is constructed, climate conditions “would not differ substantially” from what they are currently and what they are projected to be in the future.

With the left listening intently and hearing nothing, the public remains left in the dark yet again when it comes to what Hillary really thinks.

Today, Kay Hagan (D-ObamaCare) gave a press conference after she filed to run for reelection as North Carolina’s liberal Senator. During the Q&A, Hagan was repeatedly asked when exactly she knew that North Carolinians would lose their existing health insurance plans since she was on the committee that helped write the law.

Hagan had no answer to give reporters, so she dodged their question hoping to end the interview.

REPORTER: “Senator Hagan, much has been made about your promise that if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. But what we’re still not sure about is exactly when did you learn that wasn’t the case. Because you were on one of the committees that helped write the bill. Is there a specific timeframe, a day, a month, a week, that you can narrow it to when you learned that wasn’t going to be the case?” HAGAN: “You know, I am sponsoring a bill where if you like that plan, you can keep it on a permanent basis. We in North Carolina are fortunate in that our insurance commissioner and our insurance companies have made available the plans that had been cancelled that if people liked that plan they can keep that plan. That is one of the fixes that needs to be made to the Affordable Care Act, and I am supporting that fix.”

The reporters, not giving in to Hagan’s stonewalling, chased her out of the building where she again dodged the question.

REPORTER: “When did you learn people wouldn’t be able to keep their plans?” HAGAN: “You know, it wasn’t clear that insurance companies were selling substandard policies.” REPORTER: “So, was it after the law was written, I guess, or…”

Finally, in the parking lot of the event, reporters asked Hagan for a third time when she knew people would lose their health insurance plans. Hagan for a third time dodged their questions.

REPORTER: “Was that when the law was written that you realized this, or did you have any timeline when you realized this wasn’t going to be the case?” HAGAN: “Well once again, as I said earlier, it wasn’t clear that the insurance companies were selling substandard plans. And then they had to go and cancel that. So, you know, where we are today is, I am on a bill that makes permanent the plan that you had, when the Affordable Care Act was signed, that you can keep that plan. And I think that’s where we need to go forward with this.”

Hagan has previously said, at least 22 times, that if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. There is no question that she doesn’t want to admit that she lied to North Carolinians to help sell President Obama’s failed health insurance law.

“In fairness, WFMY News 2 asked {Burr’s} counterpart Senator Kay Hagan to also talk with us {on Obamacare} and her office declined.”

Wonder why.…

Today, Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) and Michelle Nunn (D-GA) revealed a stunning degree of hypocrisy when it came to outside groups and campaign finance.

First, Hagan released a campaign video attacking “outsiders” while claiming she is their top target because she is “putting North Carolina first.”

However, back in 2008, Hagan refused to accept Sen. Elizabeth Dole’s (R-NC) proposal to condemn third-party groups from running ads during their campaign. In addition, Hagan attacked Dole for voting with President Bush, stating, “voting 92% of time with the President, whether you support him or not, doesn’t work here in North Carolina.”

HAGAN: “It is time for someone to reach across party lines and finally get something done in this country. Voting 92% of time with the president, whether you support him or not, doesn’t work here in North Carolina.”

As it turns out, in 2013, Hagan has actually voted with President Obama 96 percent of the time.

And in Georgia, it was reported today that a 527 Super PAC, “Georgians Together,” will be backing Michelle Nunn’s Senate campaign.

But it was just last month that Nunn named ending dark, unlimited Super PAC spending in elections as one of five tenets in her supposed “good government” campaign platform. One might assume that Nunn will rush to the presses to denounce this group.

Nunn Super PAC good gov

Both Nunn and Hagan think they can get away with saying one thing and doing another. Voters shouldn’t be fooled by their double talk.
