Kay Hagan and Healthcare

Submitted by ccrimaca on Wed, 08/26/2009 - 4:36pm.

Kay Hagan needs to get with the program and support the public healthcare plan. I canvassed in Charlotte for her, but I'm wondering if she knows who elected her and why.

When there is finally a legitimate health care bill and there is finally bipartisan support for what will eventually be a health care bill that will be best for our nation, Hagan will come around. Until then, you can bet she will sit back and not stick her neck out on either side of this issue.

North Carolina will eventually favor what is ultimately a bill that gives those that can't afford health insurance for themselves an avenue to get into the system and will garner support from moderate/liberal democrats and moderate/conservative republicans.

Then Kay can feel "safe" presenting her support for it.

Barry Goldwater was interviewed after he left the Senate and told the interviewer that the Republican Party of that day would have considered him a liberal.

Always remember, he went to Nixon and told him he had to go and needed to resign.

Barry Goldwater was an honorable man, you sir in using his name and image to hide behind, are not.
