Kay Hagan aided and abetted O-Care’s ‘You can keep your plan’ LIE | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Publisher's note: Brant Clifton uses partly the words of others to cry out that Kay Hagan is just Barry Obama lite in his "bare knuckles" Conservative online publication known as The Daily Haymaker.

    Facts can be such troublesome things. The mainstream media has been gushing over the "courage" shown by Senator Kay Hagan - affectionately know in many quarters as Chuck Schumer's Sock Puppet™ - for her efforts to seek a delay in the ObamaCare enrollment deadline. The problem for Madame Pantsuit here is that she was out front from the very beginning peddling the spin - that we all now know was a lie - that you can keep your existing health plan if you want to.

    North Carolinians have been hit harder than anyone else in the country with cancelled policies and sky-rocketing premiums since ObamaCare rolled out on October 1.

    The Daily Caller did a great job of calling out Hagan in print - and video - for her role in this snake-oil sales pitch:

    Five of the Democratic senators pushing for a delay in the Obamacare enrollment period promised constituents that they would be able to keep their existing health plans under the new law.

    Democratic Sens. Mark Begich of Alaska, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire wrote a letter last week to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius urging a delay in the Obamacare enrollment deadline.

    All five Democrats are up for re-election in 2014 in red or swing states. And all five Democrats helped move Obamacare forward by falsely telling their constituents that they could all keep their existing health insurance plans under Obamacare.

    5. Kay Hagan, North Carolina

    "The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee crafted a bill that ensures that people who like their insurance and their doctors keep them. They also expand access to health insurance for those without it and slows down the skyrocketing cost of health care. Three critical components that President Obama called for in his speech to Congress two weeks ago," Hagan said on the Senate floor in September 2009.

#NCSEN: For Chuck Schumer's sock puppet, it's all about the (special interest) Benjamins



    Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC)     affectionately referred to in many parts as Chuck Schumers' sock puppet - is in complete agreement with one Mr.P- Diddy: It's ALL about the Benjamins.

    A few weeks back, CBS' 60 Minutes had one heck of a bombshell report on leadership PACs - which we learned are quasi-legal methods for shaking down people who have business before the House or Senate. Most Members of Congress have them. You don't even have to use the money for campaigning. You can pay for real estate or vacations. You can pay for new cars or jewelry or clothing.

    Well, ol' Kay set up one of those suckers not long after she showed up in DC to purportedly start speaking for us little people back home. Kay's little scam is called The Longleaf Pine PAC. Here's a list of some of the functions held by the PAC where, um, "invitees" were given the privilege of filling Kay's pantsuit pockets with cash. Notice how so many of these are held OUT OF STATE? Remember that when Kay starts hollering about outside influences meddling in North Carolina's internal affairs.

    Even better - here's a list of some of the high dollar donors to Kay's leadership PAC. Lobbyists, lobbyists, lobbyists and more lobbyists. I see a grand total of ONE PERSON on this list who can even VOTE for her in November 2014.

    Two of the more interesting names on the list are Mickey Arison - owner of The Miami Heat and recently-departed CEO of ill-fated Carnival Cruise Lines - and his wife Madeleine.
