Top Five Things To Know About Kay Hagan (D-NC)

Kay Hagan

Kay Hagan is running for reelection in North Carolina.

1. Hagan Said “If You Like Your Plan, You Can Keep It” At Least Twenty-Two Times

While trying to sell ObamaCare to North Carolinians, Kay Hagan got in front of every camera she could find and told the public that, under ObamaCare, if you like your current health insurance plan, you can keep it. This statement was blatantly false. Thousands of North Carolinians have already been kicked off their existing plans, and PolitiFact named the claim their lie of the year. Hagan has gone on record promoting this lie at least twenty-two times.

How has Hagan responded to questions about her repeating the lie of the year? Not well. When asked when she knew people would lose their plans, Hagan dodged and fled from pursuing reporters.

2. Hagan Thinks ObamaCare Is Something Whose Time Has Come

In February 2014, Hagan went on MSNBC and said that she wants her campaign to show that ObamaCare “is something whose time has come.”

3. Hagan Would Vote For ObamaCare Again

Despite lying to her constituents about the effects of ObamaCare, Hagan is standing beside her vote on the law. In December 2013, Hagan shamelessly claimed that she would actually vote for ObamaCare again.

4. Hagan Voted With President Obama 96% of the Time

According to Congressional Quarterly, Hagan has voted for President Obama’s agenda 96 percent of the time. However, in 2008, Hagan attacked Sen. Dole for voting with President Bush 92 percent of the time, “voting 92 percent of time with the president, whether you support him or not, doesn’t work here in North Carolina.”

5. Hagan Has Been In Washington, D.C. As The National Debt Increased To $17 Trillion

In 2008, Hagan attacked her opponent for having “poor economic judgment” that resulted in “sky rocketing debts.” In contrast, Hagan labeled herself as “fiscally conservative” and touted her experience balancing budgets.

Here’s how Hagan’s “economic judgment” has turned out: since she has gone to Washington, D.C., the national debt has ballooned from $10 trillion to $17 trillion

Natalie Tennant Still Having Trouble With Her Day Job

The hits just keep coming for Natalie Tennant.

There is yet another example of Natalie Tennant not being a competent Secretary of State in West Virginia. On Sunday,The Exponent Telegram reported that Tennant’s office was late to send out mailing labels to the county clerks so that they could send change-of-address forms to voters in the state:

“Area election officials say the Secretary of State’s Office dropped the ball in providing them with change-of-address materials to send to voters who may need to update their registration.”

The labels are supposed to be sent out by the end of December. Some county clerks say they still have not received them.

Remarkably, this isn’t even the first time that Tennant has been late sending the labels out:

“The Secretary of State’s Office was late getting materials to clerks two years ago and very late this year, Harrison County Clerk Susan Thomas said.”

If Tennant can’t even keep up with her current job, how does she expect the voters of West Virginia to give her a promotion? I mean, how hard is it to mail a letter, right?

Mark Begich’s Energy Woes In Alaska

The Anchorage Daily News reported today that Shell’s decision to put its plans to drill in the Arctic on hold has dealt a political blow to Mark Begich, who had a lot riding on the company starting to drill in the Arctic this year. Begich even had to take down a radio ad where he bragged about how Shell was going to be drilling in the Arctic.

Here’s a portion of the radio ad Begich released earlier this year where he mentions his efforts expand drilling and mining in the Arctic.

BEGICH: “And next year, Shell Oil is coming back to the Arctic Ocean, bringing new and upgraded drill ships so we can finally start drilling after decades of waiting.”

Just earlier this week in a telephone town hall on February 11, 2014, Begich claimed that Shell was still moving forward in the Arctic.

BEGICH: “The issue about ANWR or oil and gas exploration. You know, we’ve been aggressive about getting the Arctic open. Now I tell you, five years ago, people told me it’d never happen, Begich don’t waste your time, the Obama administration is going to lock us up tighter than a drum. And I said well, we’ll see about that. What’s happening now? Even though Shell had a setback earlier this year, they are moving forward. The Arctic is going to be drilled in. There’s an enormous amount of oil and gas there that’s going to come through our pipeline and start filling the pipeline. Matter of fact, it’s federal lands that’s going to be filling that pipeline versus the state because I don’t know what the state is doing, they seem to not be able to get moving on any project when it comes to oil and gas. But we are moving forward on the Shell development in the Arctic. Along with that we resolved the longstanding issues on what they call CD-5 in the National Petroleum Reserve. This is the first, they are mobilizing this year, ConocoPhillips, to start the first production. We are now working with them to get two more wells in development, which will produce, I think around the three of them, 47,000 barrels give or take there, of oil a day to the pipeline. So we’re moving forward, those are creating some jobs. They don’t get a lot of highlight out there because the press is always out there looking for the big home run. Well we’re getting base hits to complete the game and win the game, that’s what we’re doing. I see some great progress there.”

Kay Hagan Says ObamaCare Is “Something Whose Time Has Come”

Last night on MSNBC, Kay Hagan was asked if she would run on ObamaCare. Hagan replied by saying she wanted to show that ObamaCare is “something whose time has come.”

MSNBC’s CHRIS HAYES: “The question for you is, is that a winning issue? Is that an issue you can lead on? Do you envision yourself for instance running your own ads on ObamaCare in the next 8 months?”

HAGAN: “You know I think what we want to show is that the Affordable Care Act is something whose time has come.”

Alex Sink Is “Embarrassed” By Joe Biden, But Not His Campaign Cash

CNN reported last week that Alex Sink will be attending a fundraiser with Joe Biden this evening in Coral Gables, Florida, about 280 miles away from the Pinellas County Congressional District she now considers a rental destination

However, as the Tampa Bay Times reports, it is pretty astounding that Sink would appear with Biden, given her treatment of the Vice President in when she ran for governor in 2010: 

That she would go that far to be with Biden stands in stark contrast to her last run for political office. In 2010, Sink wanted little to do with him.

In the heated gubernatorial race with Rick Scott, she was the only statewide Democratic candidate to skip a Biden appearance in Hollywood.

“My focus has to be on Florida, on shaking lots of hands of Florida voters. And Vice President Biden is not a Florida voter,” Sink said then. “I know him. I can talk to him just about any time I need to speak with him.”

NEW America Rising Graphic: Look Where Obama Is NOT Going

President Obama embarks on his post-State of the Union tour across the country today. What’s notable on the president’s itinerary are the states he’s avoiding at all costs: any that have an incumbent U.S. Senator facing reelection or those challenger races touted by national Democrats. 

Check out our new graphic that highlights how Obama hopscotches over these competitive Senate states.  

image

It’s no surprise that Democrats up in 2014 are avoiding Obama. We already saw Kay Hagan ditch Obama earlier this month. And last night there was this painfully awkward Mark Udall interview where he dodges whether he’d want Obama to campaign for him.

Democrats can try to pretend that they aren’t in line with Obama, but what they can’t run away from is every vulnerable Democrat Senator voted at least 90 percent of the time to support the president’s agenda.
