Senator Mary Landrieu’s (D-LA) approval ratings are imploding. So what's she doing to counteract this trend as she prepares to run for re-election?
She's telling her constituents she would vote for Obamacare…“again”:
Landrieu also responded to political attacks Wednesday on her support for Obamacare.
"The Affordable Care Act, as I said, the bill itself has got very good concepts and yes, I would support it again," Landrieu said. "But, that doesn't excuse the poor roll out of what should have happened. There should have not been a glitch in the software."
These comments are particularly interesting because Landrieu is on record telling her constituents if they liked their health care plans, well, they could keep them. Now, however, according to the Louisiana Commissioner of Insurance, nearly 100,000 individuals in her home state have lost their health insurance -- and those figures, of course, will continue to rise. Question: How many of the roughly one million Louisianans who voted for her in 2008 will not do so again because she lied to them? I don’t have a clue, but polls do show the race is tightening, and her unwavering support for Obamacare is almost certainly why.
For what it’s worth, fellow vulnerable Senator Mark Pryor (D-AK) is seemingly taking a slightly different approach to how he builds support for his re-election campaign. He’s admitting publicly that he doesn’t “have all the answers” while at the same time implying that his vote for Obamacare maybe -- just maybe -- was a mistake. Landrieu, by contrast, claims she “would support it again” if that were possible.
I’m going to go ahead and say Pryor’s strategy is probably the safer bet.
Yep, that’s going to come back and Sharkeisha her.
Mark Pryor is a Senator from Arkansas (AR), not Alaska (AK).
FIRE HER!!!!!
Well, I guess the fix is in.
Damn Nazi.
Is that anything like a Sharknado?
Not everything is an editorial.
“Mark Pryor is a Senator from Arkansas (AR), not Alaska (AK).”
Maybe the poster is suggesting that it will be a cold day in hell when Pryor is reelected.
The Obamacare web site represents the attitude of the former soviet union. People who really don’t give a sh*t put together a crap web site for a crap idea. When a company really believes in a great idea, all hands go out of their way to make the idea a success.
You’re not suggesting Alaska is hell are you? Sarah would not be amused!
“Cold day in Hell” No, Alaska is the only state that I have never visited and I am not proud of that.
I bet there are 7 more states you have not visited.
I hope she has money because fat, ugly, stupid and broke is no way to go through life....
That's what scares me when the vote totals can be manipulated...U can say anything and get elected!!
I think it was Stalin that said.....I don't care how you vote!!.....As long as I get to count them
Put it on your bucket list. It’s beautiful.
