Senator Kay Hagan Surprised at Obamacare Medical Equip. Excise Tax



Remember when Rep. Nancy Pelosi stood before the American people and said that we need to pass Obamacare to see what’s in it?  Well, she along with a whole slew of Democrats passed this monstrosity without reading it.  And that includes Senator Kay Hagan from North Carolina.  Now, these imbeciles are appalled that an onerous excise tax is about to hit the medical device industry right between the eyes:
 
In a letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid, 18 Democrat senators and senators-elect have asked for “a delay in the implementation” of the Obamacare medical device tax. Like most of the significant tax increases in Obamacare, the medical device tax is scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2013, conveniently after the 2012 presidential election.

Each of the 18 Democrat signatories voted for or supported Obamacare in the first place. And now they want a sweetheart exemption from one of its most onerous provisions. Even in Washington DC, that shows a lot of gall.

The signatories to the letter are as follows:

Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)

Kay Hagan (D-N.C.)

Al Franken (D-Minn.)

Herb Kohl (D-Wis.)

Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.)

John Kerry (D-Mass.)

Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.)

Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)

Robert Casey (D-Pa.)

Ben Nelson (D-Neb.)

Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.)

Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.)

Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)

Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.)

Patty Murray (D-Wash.)

Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)

Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)

Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) – (Voted for Obamacare in the House)

 I remember a congressman from the state of Michigan complaining about having to read a bill before voting on it.  Doing your job; what a novel idea.  After all, isn’t that what we are paying these imbeciles to do? 
I have a message for Senator Kay Hagan (Dem –NC).  You’re up for reelection in two more years.  This is not a general election year when the freeloading hordes come to the polls and  automatically push the Dem button for president Santa Claus and his socialist D.C. elves.  This is the time of year when the more thoughtful and informed come out to play.  Goodbye Kay Hagan.  You’re a one term senator, and I do believe you know that.
