The president and congressional Democrats — including Sen. Kay Hagan — have voted to take away every American’s freedom to choose whether or not to buy health insurance without being fined by the government — a stunning lack of respect for freedom. Democrats also seriously considered “deem and pass” in order to avoid going on record with a vote — another stunning lack of respect for America as citizens debated a monumental change in public policy and astronomical expansion of government power and debt. Yet, Sen. Hagan disses Sen. Richard Burr for “a stunning lack of respect” after he used a parliamentary procedure related to the GOP’s fight against the law. From the News & Observer:
Sen. Kay Hagan, a Greensboro Democrat, also sits on the Armed Services Committee and was in the Senate president’s chair when Burr filed his objection. In her role in the chair, she quietly acknowledged his objection.
Afterward, she slammed his “obstructionist tactics,” which she said show “a stunning lack of respect.”
Efforts to reach Burr were unsuccessful.
